Waitress Reviews
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...So much ingenuity and heart has gone into the making of WAITRESS by its all-female creative team, a Broadway first but hopefully not the last, that you're bound to leave feeling a whole lot better than when you walked into the theater. That's worth it every time, in my book. And if pie-pop heaven is a thing, I'd say WAITRESS has taken us there and served up a slice of its finest counter goodness."
Stage Scene LA- Recommended
"...Though not perfect, Waitress walks the line between musical revue in the vein of Pump Boys and Dinettes and a musical drama about challenges faced by proletariat American women. Go for Bareilles' melodious pop score and the commanding thespians. But better bring along some salt to balance out all the sugar."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...Easy as it is to bemoan the current trend of turning movies into Broadway musicals, Waitress, now playing at the Pantages in Hollywood, is proof that Broadway shows can still tell beautiful stories, even when they're based on movies that came out over a decade ago."
Discover Hollywood- Highly Recommended
"...Desi Oakley is captivating in the role of Jenna. Her voice is exquisite, powerful, and perfectly matched to Bareilles' songs. When she sings with her fellow waitresses, the three-part harmony is glorious."
