Based on the 2007 film by the late Adrienne Shelly, Waitress, is a heartwarming story of love, friendship, motherhood, and the perseverance to overcome life’s challenges.
Starring five-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, Waitress is one of Broadway’s most recent successes. Uplifting and relatable, the musical strikes a personal chord with audiences. Bareille’s score debuted at number ten on the US Billboard 200 chart and instantly received outstanding critical acclaim. With music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus, this soulful production promises to make you laugh while it makes you cry.
Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a young waitress, and an expert baker. Pregnant and caught in a loveless marriage, Jenna finds happiness in her creative pies. When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a rare chance at escape, she must weigh her commitments against this shot at freedom. Her customers, co-workers and a handsome new doctor in town all offer her conflicting recipes for happiness- but Jenna must decide for herself.

Critics Reviews
“Ms. Mueller, who won a Tony for her performance in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," possesses a rich, soulful and emotionally translucent voice, and an ability to bring heaping cupfuls of subtext to her acting.”
– New York Times“The key statement is not that Waitress is a musical from a team of women, but that Waitress is a good musical from a creative team who happen to be women.”

Someone reached out by phone and guaranteed we would receive our tickets when and where described. I was given a contact number which made me feel good and the transaction occurred as said.Rosemarie

At first I was hesitant because it was my first time ordering from this company. I will say the communication and customer service was on point. From the emails to text messages when the tickets were and the way & delivered. In the future I would like to place another order.David

It was an extremely easy process. My only complaint is that if we’re looking for a staff members yellow hat, they should make certain it’s easy to see. Our second was wearing a hood over his hat and my wave did not spot him as easily as we had seen our contact earlier in the day.Alethia

First I like the prices are always better than other companies. Second they‘re always in touch with you, you don’t feel lost in you purchase. And for that last they’re always on time on the place with your tickets.Cherie
