Barry & Fran Weissler and David Ian have announced the initial dates for the upcoming UK tour of Waitress, set to open at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in November.
Based on the 2007 film written by Adrienne Shelley, Waitress features music and lyrics by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.
Waitress tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness. But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life. This beautiful musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
