Waitress (matinee) @ The 5th Avenue Theatre (Seattle – Downtown)
Music & lyrics by Sara Bareilles. Book by Jessie Nelson. Based on the motion picture by Adrienne Shelly. Directed & choreographed by Lisa Shriver.
Sara Bareilles’s pop-rock musical is filled with scrumptious pie — so much pie — and is one of the most famous musicals from the past decade. It’s a story of friendship, chosen family, and embracing love from unexpected places. Jenna dreams of leaving behind a life she didn’t imagine for herself, and the announcement of a baking contest could be her ticket out. Supported by her best friends, Jenna chooses to open her heart to the messier parts of life, which certainly don’t come with a recipe.
