There's a lot to love about Waitress - The Musical, playing at the Arvada Center through October 13! Here are just a few reasons we know you'll fall in love:
1. You get to experience the full range of your emotions. While this musical deals with some pretty serious topics, it does so in a really hilarious way. Bring tissues for when you cry, and for when you laugh until you cry.
2. The music is so good, and sticks in your brain. With pop star Sara Bareilles in charge of writing the music and lyrics, you get a Broadway musical soundtrack that sounds like it could be played on pop radio.
3. PIES! Our talented prop shop made 35 pies as well as single slices for this production - and they look so good we want to eat them! But don’t - they’ll chip your teeth.
Instead, try to win one in our Pie It Forward fundraising giveaway where every $15 donation puts your name in a drawing to win one of these amazing pies. You can enter more than once!
4. Anne Terze-Schwarz! Critics and audience members alike are raving about Anne’s portrayal of Jenna, the expert pie-maker that Waitress centers around. She’s sweet, she’s talented, and we can’t wait to see the bright future ahead of her.
Read some reviews:
- "Mix sugar, butter, flour, 35 fake pies, a live band and one diner-inspired set. Combine with an all-female creative team, sprinkle in the music of Sara Bareilles. The result: Arvada Center’s “Waitress.” - Colorado Community Media
- "The show is something of a blend of the light-hearted and deeply personal, perfectly captured in the creative elements." - BroadwayWorld review
- "Waitress is as good a production as you’re likely to see onstage in Colorado this fall. If you like funny, touching musicals, it’s must-see theatre." - OnStage Colorado
5. It’s a great show to see with your friends. With a production like this that shows the power of friendship, who better to bring along than friends - new or old! It always seems like you laugh a lot harder when you’re laughing with friends.
