Waitress: The Hit Broadway Musical

by NYBroadwayTours | Jun 2, 2021 | Blog, Broadway

SAMPLE PIE!!! According to its website, another tease has just been posted that the Tony and Grammy nominated smash hit Waitress is possibly RE-OPENING UP on Broadway. The post mentions the following…..

THE DINER IS CURRENTLY CLOSED WE CAN’T WAIT TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN WHEN BROADWAY REOPENS. HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE FALL.

This comes following an initial discussion by the show’s producer Barry Weissler in a discussion with the The Wall Street Journal. He has been talking of a possible revival of WAITRESS set to be back on Broadway for a strictly limited run. Reuniting its original creative team led by Tony winner Diane Paulus, the cast will be led by the show’s Tony nominated and Grammy winning composer Sara Bareilles starring as “Jenna Hunterson”, a role she played 3 limited engagements during the show’s original Broadway run.

The original run of WAITRESS played Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre for 33 previews and 1,544 regular performances.
