Jessie Mueller & the Cast of Sara Bareilles' Waitress Get the 'Sugar, Butter, Flour' Ready for Opening Night

The smell of cinnamon is currently greeting theatergoers on arrival at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre and on April 24, Waitress will officially open at the venue. Directed by Diane Paulus, Tony winner Jessie Mueller bakes up a storm in the production, which is based on the 2007 film by the late Adrienne Shelly and book by Jessie Nelson.

To celebrate the Great White Way premiere of Sara Bareilles' tuner, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this portrait. There's Mueller as Jenna, with Keala Settle as Becky, Kimiko Glenn as Dawn, Drew Gehling as Dr. Pomatter, Nick Cordero as Earl, Dakin Matthews as Joe, Eric Anderson as Cal and Christopher Fitzgerald as Ogie.

Broadway.com wishes the Waitress team an opening night to pie for!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
