UPCOMING: Waitress, March 15-20, 2022, Music Hall, Detroit
*Disclosure: I have an ongoing media relationship with Broadway in Detroit. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own.
I am SUPER excited that Waitress is coming back to Detroit - it's one of my favorite shows, I saw it here in Detroit in 2019 and also in NYC earlier that year, with Sara Bareilles in the lead role! I'm also a huge fan of the movie.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 21, 2022!

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county—and a satisfying encounter with someone new—show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
