Waitress: The Musical brings the Tony-nominated Broadway phenomenon to National Theatre at Home. Featuring composer-lyricist Sara Bareilles as Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage.

When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna fights to reclaim a long-forgotten part of herself. Through the support of her fellow waitresses and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take a long-abandoned dream off the shelf.

Waitress celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, the family we choose and the beauty of a well-baked pie.
