The Broadway musical Waitress will launch a North American tour this September in honor of its 10th anniversary. Featuring a score by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles , the tour will tech and launch in Owensboro, KY at the Riverpark Center before continuing to 40+ cities including Austin, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. Additional cities along with casting will be announced at a later date. Check out the full list of tour dates below!

“Ten years later, WAITRESS continues to resonate with audiences through Sara Bareilles ’ gorgeous score, which brings both humor and emotional depth to every moment in this beloved show,” said Tony® Award-winning director, Diane Paulus . “Taking this production back on tour for its 10th anniversary is an incredible opportunity to share Jenna’s journey with new audiences and to celebrate the connections this story continues to inspire."

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.

WAITRESS opened April 24, 2016 at Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Based upon the 2007 motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly , WAITRESS is the first Broadway musical in history to have four women in the four top creative team spots, with a book by Jessie Nelson , a score by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles (composer of “Love Song” and “Brave”), choreography by Lorin Latarro and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus .

The production is currently on UK tour. Check out photos here .
