Waitress

Jacquie after running a 10k, how do you celebrate?

By seeing a Broadway Show, of course.

I am on some email lists that send me some amazing deals. Between Playbill.com, TheaterMania, and others I receive deals that are too good to pass up. Ashley is a really big Broadway fan, which adds to the fun.

The latest deal was Buy 1 Get 1 for $10 to see Waitress. They are gearing up for Jason Mraz taking over the role of the male lead, so the sale only went through his start date. I'm okay with that.

The show is remarkably like the movie by the same name, even though the movie is not a musical.

I loved the set. Seems the trend lately has been towards minimalist sets, such as in Come from Away and Hamilton. The set for Waitress seemed to seem to fly together from all sorts of angles. It was fun watching how it would all come together. Ashley was impressed at one point Betsy Wofle (who plays the lead, Jenna) stands up to go on an imaginary bus, sings, and sits down on the couch in her living room without missing a note or taking a glance to make sure the couch is really where it belongs. She said she wouldn't trust it, perhaps because she has not done a professional show (yet).

It was the last warm day and night before fall and winter set it. A perfect night to be out in New York City with my loves.
