Waitress
1100 Third Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $45 - $92
Jenna, a waitress and pie maker at Joe's Diner, is unhappy to discover she is pregnant. Her marriage is failing, and she is desperate for a way out. Thus begins the less-than-traditional love story that is Waitress. Instead of a fairy tale ending with her Prince Charming, Jenna finds strength in her friendships and the daughter she never wanted to have. Her pie recipes are metaphors that run throughout this smartly written musical, complete with exaggerated characters and small town situations that leave the audience altering between laughter and tears. Worth a try.
