Why see Waitress?
A New Staging From 5th Avenue!
So good it will make your mouth water, Waitress took Broadway by storm and now brings the sweet treats to Seattle's prestigious 5th Avenue Theatre, directed and choreographed by Lisa Shriver in an exciting new staging, Scored by pop singer Sara Bareilles, this heart-warming musical follows a small-town waitress who sees a chance to leave her small town behind by winning a baking contest.
What Is The Story?
Jenna works as a pie chef in a small-town diner. Her baking time is a kind of meditation, a break from her mundane existence where her creativity can flourish. Renowned throughout the town for her crinkly crusts and fluffy pastries, she harbors dreams of opening her own pie shop and making a new life for herself. But when she becomes unexpectedly pregnant by her bullying husband Earl, it seems like she may have to abandon her dreams forever.
Hope is at hand in the form of the town's handsome new doctor, and the announcement of a pie-making competition in a nearby town. The winner of the contest will be awarded a large cash prize, and Jenna realizes it may be her one shot at turning her life around.

Colourful, creative, enchanting
While many Broadway shows sweep you away into far away worlds and mystical settings, Waitress offers a simply charming slice of life from a small town diner with little to nothing going on.

Can't Wait To See This Again!
This Tony nominated musical (up against Hamilton)
showcases what Sara Bareilles does best - fantastic sing
along melodies and lyrics that tell a story with poetry,
humor, melancholy, and love. I was fortunate enough
to see this with Sara B. in the role of Jenna but she
wrote incredible songs for each cast member. Every
song got a standing ovation during the show, which
made the show run three hours, but it was one of the
highlights of theatre for me and my son (right up there
with seeing the original Broadway cast of Into The
Woods with Sondheim and Lapine in conversation and
Hamilton) Can't wait to see this again!

I didn’t know what to expect, and am so glad I saw the show with my friends tonight! It was a dynamic feel good story with captivating characters. The acting, voices, the emotion and quality of each character was just outstanding! With such great weather, we were able to enjoy downtown after too! ... Read more
