A Broadway show that follows Jenna Hunterson's search for something more than her daily routine.
If you want the heart of it, listen to 'She Used To Be Mine' and 'When He Sees Me'. They frame the whole thing pretty plainly.
The songs here feel direct and personal, like 'She Used To Be Mine' and 'When He Sees Me', which capture Jenna's emotional landscape without much fuss. It's a show that stuck around through cast changes and audience questions, with tunes like 'Opening Up' making it onto the touring setlist. That kind of staying power says something.
Waitress started on Broadway with Jessie Mueller as Becky and Keala Settle as Dawn. It ran through various cast shifts, including Nick Cordero's departure during the pandemic, and kept going with songs like 'I Didn't Plan It' reaching different cities on tour.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
