They are:
Waitress
West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher leads the cast as Jenna, an expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage.
A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness.
But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life.
The musical celebrates friendship, motherhood and the magic of a well-made pie.
