Waitress The Musical at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts

Actress Keri Russell starred in the 2007 film Waitress, which tells the story of a young woman trapped in a small town with a dead end job and an abusive husband. Six years later, a musical, inspired by the film, began production. Now touring off-Broadway, Waitress will debut at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts November 13 – 25, 2018.

Waitress The Musical

Featuring music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles, a book by Jessie Nelson, and an all-female creative team, Waitress the Musical, will star Christine Dwyer in the lead role as Jenna Hunterson. You may recognize Dwyer from her role as Maureen in RENT, Elphaba in Wicked, and Sylvia in Finding Neverland.

As a waitress and an expert pie maker, Jenna dreams of leaving her small town and her abusive husband. When she learns of a baking contest in a nearby county, she decides that this may be her way out. To complicate matters further, Jenna learns that she is pregnant and begins an affair with her doctor. With her fellow waitresses offering their own recipes for happiness, Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her life. Waitress is an uplifting story about a woman who rises above her circumstances. The musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and empowers women to find intrinsic worth and happiness.
