Item Description

If you have ever wanted to get an inside look into how a Broadway show goes from conception to realization, this is your chance! Waitress, a new musical coming to Broadway in 2016, stars Tony winner Jessie Mueller (Beautiful) and features a score by Grammy nominated song writer Sara Bareilles. The production is directed by Tony winner and Drama League Alumni Diane Paulus (Pippin).

You and a guest will receive two tickets to a performance of Waitress and a backstage tour with Jessie Mueller and Diane Paulus following.

This Package Includes:

- 2 Tickets to a performance of Waitress

- A backstage visit with Jessie Mueller and Diane Paulus

About the Show:

Based on the motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly, the new musical has a book by Jessie Nelson and music and lyrics by Grammy winner Bareilles. The story follows Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, who is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna must weigh her commitments against a rare shot at freedom and recognition. Her customers, co-workers, and the town’s handsome new doctor all offer her conflicting recipes for happiness — but Jenna must ultimately decide for herself.

About the Star:

Jessie Mueller made her Broadway debut opposite Harry Connick Jr. in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. In her native Chicago, Mueller has won acclaim for starring roles in She Loves Me, Guys and Dolls, Fiddler on the Roof, Curtains and Carousel, among other musicals. Jessie won the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for her transformative performance in Beautiful. She now stars in the musical Waitress, coming to Broadway in 2016.
