Waitress: The Musical

"Sara Bareilles serves a slice of charm in musical pro-shot (...) If it’s a thrill to watch Bareilles embody the musical version of a character that she co-created, she’s also surrounded by a strong supporting cast (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] is an admirable effort to bring Broadway to the masses. But there are so many missed opportunities for making it really sing" 

"The show is smoothly staged before an appreciative audience, with well-chosen theatrical touches (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"With a dash of laughter, heart, and beautiful music, the pro-shot Broadway show offers the right ingredients for a decadent treat." 

"Bareilles’s first Broadway effort displays a joyful confidence (...) Unfortunately, the glare of the cameras also highlights flaws that were easier to overlook onstage" 

"'Waitress: The Musical' joins the list of filmed musicals that have preserved their stage qualities while giving viewers the best seat in the house." 

"Surprisingly for a musical, the production ebbs and flows quite nicely. (...) y the time the credits roll, you might be amazed to realize that nearly two and a half hours have just whizzed by" 

"Starring Sara Bareilles and an impressive supporting cast, 'Waitress: The Musical' serves up a rich and full-calorie treat but gets a little heavy with sweetness in some places."
