Waitress

The hit musical comedy-drama about waitress and pie-maker Jenna, featuring music by Sara Bareilles, returns to Bournemouth for a limited run with Les Dennis as Old Joe.

“Treat yourself to a slice of five-star musical pie” (The Times) as Waitress comes to Bournemouth Pavilion for one week only, featuring Les Dennis as Old Joe and West End star Evelyn Hoskins as Dawn.

Jenna is a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a better life. When a new doctor arrives in town, everything becomes complicated, but with the support of her workmates Becky and Dawn, Jenna discovers that laughter, love and friendship can be the perfect recipe for happiness.

Created by a ground-breaking, female-led team, the show features a celebrated score by Grammy award-winner Sara Bareilles, a book by Jessie Nelson, and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus.
