Waitress the Musical have announced two new cast changes for the Broadway restaging of the show, with Tony nominee Joshua Henry joining the cast as Dr. Pomatter on 29 November. On the same date, current ensemble member, Tyrone Davis, Jr will take over as Ogie full-time (one of the roles he understudies).
The changes happen a few days after Ciara Renée joins the cast as Jenna Hunterson.
Joshua Henry earned Tony nominations for The Scottsboro Boys, Violet, and, most recently, Carousel. His additional stage credits include Hamilton, The Wrong Man, and Porgy & Bess. On screen, he currently appears alongside Jason Momoa in Apple TV+’s ‘See’, and can be seen in the upcoming film adaptation of ‘tick, tick…BOOM!’.
Tyrone made his Broadway debut as part of the ensemble in Waitress the Musical’s original run, and will now have his first headline run in the restaging.
