Adapted from the 2007 film and featuring a book by Jessie Nelson and a Tony-nominated score by Bareilles, Waitress was developed by and premiered at Massachusetts' American Repertory Theater before debuting on Broadway in 2015, picking up four 2016 Tony nominations, including Best Musical. The work made a Broadway return at the Ethel Barrymore following the COVID-19 shutdown in 2021, which was later filmed live and commercially released.
The Maine company is also presenting the world premiere of My Best Friend's Wedding plus Crazy for You, A Little Night Music, and Little Shop of Horrors this season.
