As Waitress approaches its final stretch on Broadway, the Sara Bareilles musical welcomes backs an old friend to the diner. Katharine McPhee will return to the production at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, starring as Jenna from November 25 until the show's final performance January 5, 2020.
Jordin Sparks, also of American Idol fame, currently plays Jenna; she's set to end her limited engagement November 24.
McPhee, a veteran of American Idol and NBC's musical drama Smash, made her Broadway debut in the musical last year. She went on to open the show in London's West End earlier this year.
