For those who aren’t familiar, Waitress is the story of Jenna, an expert pie baker working at a local diner and stuck in a loveless marriage whose salvation comes in the form of her daughter, Lulu. The show was inspired by the Adrienne Shelley film of the same name.
The touring version of the show, featuring an all-female creative team and music by Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, is coming to the WAC April 9-14.
Tickets to the show start at $38, and are now on sale. To purchase, visit the WAC box office, call 479-443-5600, or visit waltonartscneter.com.
