My friend Rosa and I had the pleasure of watching a very well baked musical last night. The whole cast did an amazing job.
WAITRESS; the hit Broadway Musical by Sara Bareilles, is playing in Vancouver at the Arts Club Theatre Company’s Stanley Stage – Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Based on the motion picture by Adrienne Shelly, WAITRESS is the first Broadway musical with an all-female creative team which is a landmark moment in theatre history.
The show adds depth and warmth through song. At its core, WAITRESS follows Jenna, a gifted pie-maker trapped in an abusive marriage and an unexpected pregnancy. She works at a small-town diner and dreams of a better life.
Her journey unfolds through a bonded friendship with fellow waitresses Becky and Dawn, and a complicated affair with her gynecologist, Dr. Pomatter, who is also married.
It’s light hearted and a little crazy in parts, however; Jenna’s growth is the heart of the show; her self discovery is about learning to reclaim her voice, her dreams and her independence.
It’s not just about romantic love; it’s about choosing yourself, finding joy in small things, and baking your way through pain.
It’s a show that leaves you feeling full in every sense. But I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t craving a piece of pie after the show.
It’s here in Vancouver only until August 3rd, 2025 – link for tickets from only $39 here: https://artsclub.com/shows/
