Waitress: The Musical

Waitress: The Musical
The hit Broadway musical about a small-town pie baker with big dreams gets the silver screen treatment.

Sara Bareilles is a generational talent. The original film will always be one of my all time favorites and I’m usually pretty skeptical about attempts to turn beloved films into broadway musicals, however, this was genuinely special. The songs are brilliant and beautiful, as is expected from Bareilles, the comedic yet somber tone is perfectly translated from screen to stage, and screen again, and most importantly is incredibly heartwarming. I’ll be singing She Used to Be Mine whenever I need a good cry from now on.
