Musicals have a uniquely universal quality. Through music, through language, they show us how alike we are as humans. Despite differences in background, ethnicity, religion or sex, at the beginning of each day, we all pretty much want the same things: Love, a happy life, comfort and good food.
"Waitress" brings us the story of Jenna, a young baker with dreams of big love and a better life for herself. Brought to the stage by an all-female creative team featuring singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles; Screenwriter Jessie Nelson; Choreographer Lorin Latarro; and Director Diane Paulus, "Waitress" illuminates the lives of women in small-town America as they each share their own unique recipes for happiness.
One such woman is Becky, played in the national tour by powerhouse singer and actor Maiesha McQueen.
