A fresh-baked, piping hot pie could burn you if you’re careless. And yet, the delicious flavor is so satisfying it may change your life. Just ask Jenna, a waitress whose small-town existence and difficult marriage are a recipe for unhappiness. Her search for escape and happiness lead her to a relationship with little future as it threatens her reputation. Still, Jenna manages to find some sweetness in life throughout this bittersweet journey. The superb music score by Grammy-award-winner Sara Bareilles blends both heartache (“She Used to Be Mine”) and hope (“What Baking Can Do”). This regional premiere based on the 2007 non-musical film of the same name, Waitress: The Musical is poignant. It’s relatable, bitter as a lemon and sweet as a marshmallow pie. Entertainment Weekly called it “a little slice of heaven” and MCT is proud to serve up this extraordinarily popular musical that promises to stir your heart. You’ll most likely want to pick up a pie on the way home.
