closure ofwaitress musical

Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson's Tony-nominated musical Waitress had its UK premiere in March at the Adelphi Theatre Lucie Jones is starring as Jenna with Evelyn Hoskins / Dawn (anxious yet lovable waitress) and NaTasha Yvette Williams as Becky (a sassy and tough waitress), Tamlyn Henderson/Earl (Jenna's abusive Husband) and David Hunter/Dr Jim Pomatter (gynaecologist who Jenna has an affair with).

Joel Montague is playing Ogie (a very odd Revolutionary War reenactor).

The musical is currently running on Broadway and is based on the 2007 film of the same name written by Adrienne Shelly. It tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage and abusive relationship with her husband Earl. When Jenna unexpectedly becomes pregnant she begins an affair with her gynaecologist Dr Jim Pomatter. Looking for ways out she sees a pie contest and its grand prize as her chance.

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's film, WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, A baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.

The musical opened on Broadway in March 2016 with Jessie Mueller as the lead character. It went on to be nominated for four Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards, as well as a Grammy Award.

The UK production will be the first West End musical to have an all-female creative team, with direction by Diane Paulus (Pippin) and choreography by Lorin Latarro (Les Liaisons Dangereuses).
