With the support of her workmates Becky and Dawn, Jenna overcomes the challenges she faces and finds that laughter, love and friendship can provide the perfect recipe for happiness.

Having received standing ovations night after night in London’s West End and on Broadway, Waitress is ‘the real deal’ (INDEPENDENT) musical comedy ‘made from the finest ingredients’ (TIME OUT).
