Waitress
Sara Bareilles' uplifting and inspiring musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
This title is currently restricted. Expected general release is unknown. Click "Follow" to be among the first to know when this title is released.

Brought to life on Broadway by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, Waitress features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), and a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson. Nominated for four Tony Awards (including Best Musical), and cherished by audiences and critics alike, Waitress is inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film and offers a special recipe for finding happiness in unexpected places.

Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Faced with an unexpected pregnancy, Jenna fears she may have to abandon the dream of opening her own pie shop…until a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's handsome new doctor offer her a tempting recipe for happiness. Supported by her quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna summons the secret ingredient she's been missing all along — courage.

"A delicious tale that's not simply about getting Prince Charming, but getting its heroine to take action and discover her worth!" — Variety

Is there any idea when Waitress might be released.  I am from a very tiny school in the middle of Kansas that is doing live theatre - with a LOT of Covid percautions- and am needing to find a show that fits our needs and it is PERFECT.
