Director Chanel Bragg said: “Waitress is a heartwarming celebration of love in all its forms: romantic, platonic, familial, and self-love. Jenna’s journey reminds us that even in the chaos of life, love is the ingredient that sweetens every story. By embracing both the beautiful and the messy parts of life, we grow, heal, and discover that love and hope can come from the most unlikely places. Anybody that comes to see the show that is having feelings… or going through their own personal circumstances, or have a friend going through it, if this maybe allows someone to empathise a bit more, then we’ve done our job.”
