WAITRESS HAS OFFICIALLY OPENED IN MELBOURNE
Opening night of was a beautiful production that balanced humour, heartbreak and some genuinely powerful performances.
Set in a small-town diner, the story follows Jenna, a talented pie maker navigating an unhappy marriage while quietly dreaming of a different life. It’s emotional without feeling heavy, funny in all the right places, and centred around themes of friendship, resilience and starting again.
The music, by Sara Bareilles, adds so much to the storytelling, with songs that feel intimate, honest and memorable long after the final curtain.
Waitress boats a star studded cast, but a huge shout out to who stole the show as the lovely Dawn!
Make a full evening of it with pre-theatre drinks and dinner at Bossley across the road, plus a delicious slice of pie during interval!
