Waitress is based on the 2007 film of the same name, written by Adrienne Shelly, and first opened on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in April 2016.
Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and Norton and Elayne Herrick, the music and lyrics were written by Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, whose chart hits include Love Song and Brave.
