Waitress The Musical
Duration: 2h 30m | Intermission: 1 | Opened: April 24, 2016 | Audience: Ages 15 & up
Summary
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 — shows 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.
Parent Information
In a word, no. Waitress is not appropriate for kids. I thought that by intermission but REALLY thought that after the show ended. A teen (15-18) could be okay with it, but I wouldn’t take anyone younger. Why? Lots of bad language (ass, dipshit, fuck, shit). Abusive husband. Sexual acts depicted (in a funny way, but still kind of graphic). Cheating on a spouse. No. Not appropriate.
