\"Waitress<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you checked out Waitress<\/a><\/em> yet? It\u2019s a musical<\/a> that serves up a slice of life with a side of humor and soulful tunes.<\/p>\n

Based on the 2007 film<\/a>, Waitress<\/em> became an award-winning Broadway musical<\/a> with lyrics and music by Sara Bareilles<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The story follows Jenna, a small-town waitress and exceptional pie-maker trapped in a tough situation of domestic abuse. She finds solace in baking and pouring her hopes and dreams into her pies.<\/p>\n

The score<\/a>, by pop singer Sara Bareilles, is a work of art. \u201cOpening Up<\/a>\u201d and \u201cWhat Baking Can Do<\/a>\u201d set the stage, while \u201cShe Used to Be Mine<\/a>\u201d steals the show with its powerful and heart-wrenching arrangement. Over the past few years, the musical has earned multiple accolades<\/a>, including Tony and Grammy nominations. Another song favorite of mine is \u201cEverything Changes<\/a>,\u201d which captures pivotal moments in Jenna\u2019s life that eventually lead to her resurfacing power to get through adversity. As the story unfolds, it teaches the audience a lesson about resilience to get through life\u2019s obstacles.<\/p>\n

The ensemble members add depth and texture to the story, filling the stage with vibrant personalities. Whether they\u2019re delivering pies, chatting over coffee, or sharing in Jenna\u2019s triumphs and struggles, each member of the ensemble contributes to the vibrancy of the musical\u2019s narrative.<\/p>\n

Overall, Waitress<\/a><\/em> serves as a story of resilience and human connection. The musical\u2019s cast recording<\/a> includes heartfelt performances, humor, and unforgettable melodies. <\/p>\n

You can check out the Waitress<\/em> score<\/a> and cast recording<\/a> at the Parsons Music Library!<\/p>\n
