Straz Center Presents Waitress – Limited Engagement

April 19, 2018 by Post

April 24-29

Morsani Hall at the Straz Center

Regularly priced tickets are $45-$128

***

TAMPA, Fla. — The Straz Center is thrilled to announce Waitress will play a limited engagement, April 24-29, in Morsani Hall as part of Bank of America Broadway at The Straz also sponsored by the Tampa Bay Times.

Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, this irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy® nominee Sara Bareilles (“Brave,” “Love Song”), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), choreography by Lorin Latarro (Les Dangereuse Liasons, Waiting For Godot) and direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (Hair, Pippin, Finding Neverland).

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly’s beloved film, Waitress tells the story of Jenna – a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.

“It’s an empowering musical of the highest order!” raves the Chicago Tribune. “Waitress is a little slice of heaven!,” says Entertainment Weekly and “a monumental contribution to Broadway!,” according to Marie Claire.  Don’t miss this uplifting musical celebrating friendship, motherhood and the magic of a well-made pie.

Waitress will play the Straz Center’s Morsani Hall, April 24-29. Performances are Tuesday-Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Regularly priced tickets are $45-$128 and may be purchased by calling 813.229.STAR (7827) or 800.955.1045 outside Tampa Bay, in person at the Straz Center Ticket Office or online at www.strazcenter.org.
