It\u2019s Theatre Thursday! Today\u2019s show is Waitress, which opens today in London. 
<\/em>
I feel like I\u2019ve been bemoaning the sad state of musical theatre on the West End for years now. We\u2019re getting too few new British works and too many lackluster disappointments. And while that\u2019s all still true, Waitress has arrived, so I\u2019m done complaining until the smile leaves my face, if that ever happens. Even though it\u2019s an American transfer, this show is so FORKING wonderful that it is elevating the entirety of the West End. The Sara Bareilles musical, which opens officially today at the Adelphi Theatre, is exactly the show London needs right now: funny, heartbreaking, movingly acted, perfectly sung, and with an incredible score. It\u2019s strange for me to give unqualified raves, but here I go, here I go, here I go again girls what\u2019s my weakness? Um, musicals! pie? Dr. Pomatter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Waitress, the first Broadway musical with an all-female creative team (it premiered in 2016 and that\u2019s a true thing, so forked), opened the same season as Hamilton (and also the best musical revival season anyone could ever dream of I mean it omg each of the four nominees was the best thing ever le sigh and this year we don\u2019t even have enough for a Tony award??? anyway) and so, while everyone enjoyed it, it didn\u2019t get the acclaim or attention it deserved. Luckily, London\u2019s musical theatre scene is, shall we say, not 2016 Broadway so fingers crossed that it gets the proper amount of love, because it\u2019s a pretty goshdarn flawless show. Based on the 2007 Adrienne Shelly movie starring Keri Russell, Waitress the musical tells that story of how a small-town pie-making waitress in an abusive marriage gets pregnant and falls for her new ob\/gyn. I remember the movie being pretty depressing but the show – though still rife with sad moments – is funnier and overall uplifting and heartwarming. With a sensational score from Sara Bareilles in her first musical theatre venture (and hopefully not last) and superb direction from Diane Paulus, the musical takes us intimately into the life of Jenna Hunterson and her friends. Her abusive husband, her inability to leave him, her feeling of not recognizing herself or knowing what to do, it all comes across realistically and believably while maintaining the entertaining, energetic thrill of classic musical theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I trust that you\u2019ll see Waitress as soon as you can – whether on Broadway, in London, or on tour – I\u2019ma tell you a little about it because it\u2019s my new fave thing and I just simply can\u2019t stop won\u2019t stop talking about it (or singing it in the shower). So Jenna, as played by the remarkable Katharine McPhee, sings about her three favorite ingredients for pie baking – \u201csugar, butter, flour\u201d – and making pies and how that helps her deal with her shirty life, working in a diner and having a shirty slob of a jerk husband who takes all the money she earns and is mean to her friends. And her friends, Dawn (Laura Baldwin, hilarious and adorable) and Becky (Marisha Wallace, the fire emoji), are wonderful so only a real jerk ass jackwagon would be mean to them. Jenna accidentally slept with her husband who she haaaates so Dawn and Becky are like \u2018hey Jenna let\u2019s all chill in the bathroom and watch you pee on a stick and we will SING ABOUT IT!!!\u2019 and Jenna is like \u2018ughhh I don\u2019t wanna know if I\u2019m pregnant I\u2019d rather just ignore any alien growth and then in 9 months be like those people on the old show \u2018I Didn\u2019t Know I Was Pregnant\u2019 and be like \u2018maaaa there\u2019s a baby in the terlet!!!!\u2019 so just let me be\u2019 and they\u2019re like \u2018no we have fun lyrics about drinking enough to make sure you have to pee\u2019 (and I\u2019m like, do some people really not need to pee all the time?) so Jenna pees on the stick and is like SHIT and then sings the greatest song ever extolling the virtues of what baking can do as she hopes it can save her from her current messy sitch. Then she makes a great pie for her gynecologist who unknowingly retired and you\u2019re like jfc how bad is the American healthcare system if when she called to make an appointment with Dr. Oldlady they didn\u2019t tell her \u2018oh she RETIRED\u2019?? what a mess. Anyway her gyno is now this cute adorkable awkward lanky blond guy which is suuuupes awks in a gyno fyi anyway he doesn\u2019t eat sugar and she\u2019s like what kind of dork doesn\u2019t eat sugar?? and he tries her pie (not a euph) and is like \u2018OH DIP\u2019 and she\u2019s such a good baker that they fall in love and it\u2019s AMAZING and SAD and she dreams of getting away from the jerky husband but he thwarts her plans and then she sings another BEST SONG EVER about what a mess her life is and McPhee is like \u2018do you think you\u2019ve heard anyone with better vocal control, because hear this, mufuckaaa\u2019 and she should have awards thrown at her and you\u2019re like TAYLOR HICKS, REALLY GUYS??? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the girls make our cute little Dawn try online dating because she is a sheltered lil bun who\u2019s never dated and she matches on an app I\u2019m assuming was Christian Mingle with a crazy guy in the form of JACK MCBRAYER, ladies and gentlemen, as Ogie and even though he sings a song that would be a giant red flag in real life about how he is virtually a stalker and even though Jack\u2019s not the greatest singer and even though I wanted a friend of mine to get his part originally, Jack\u2019s Ogie is REDONKULOUS AMAZING. His signature pure hearted dorky schtick is so perfect for Ogie and whoever thought to cast him deserves Olympic medals in casting. I honestly want to bake that person a pie. Jack makes every little movement and line of Ogie\u2019s a laugh riot which is a phrase I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever used before but I need to use it now because it\u2019s true and also dorky and pure enough of a phrase to fit this situation. The only thing I don\u2019t get about this show is that Ogie gets the last named-character-bow when for male roles he really is second only to Dr. Pomatter and I don\u2019t understand how he isn\u2019t billed and bowed higher?? He gets more songs than almost anyone! Anyway it\u2019s worth it to see him alone, yet everything else is just as great. Becky\u2019s lil side story is amazingly moving too, as she\u2019s in a difficult marriage for sad reasons and needs to get her groove back and does so with a SURPRISE man and she sings a fire emoji song about how ya know shit just happens sometimes and who are you to judge?? Her big song really was ugh so good. Even the old man diner owner gets amazing material that makes me cry, even though this actor wasn\u2019t a great singer, because he gets my favorite poetic lyric at the end of his big song that just wrecks me and honestly everything in this show wrecks me so just forking see it so we can TALK ABOUT IT, okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writing of this show, with a book from Jessie Nelson, is so strong that the show would be great still with just okay talent, so this stellar cast is lifting it to remarkable heights. Katharine McPhee\u2019s Jenna is thoughtful and purposeful, finding the right line between vulnerability and inner strength. Fresh from the Broadway production, which was her first Broadway role, McPhee reminds you quickly of the douchebag director\u2019s first words about her on \u201cSmash\u201d: \u201cShe may be green, but she\u2019s certainly trained.\u201d Her control over her voice is spell-binding, and her \u201cShe Used to be Mine\u201d is the best vocal performance happening in London right now. David Hunter\u2019s Pomatter is endearing and goofy yet also a believable leading man and a bit of a heartthrob. The scenes between the two of them feel like the end of the second season of a TV show when the two meant-for-each-other leads finally come to each other, and they accomplish that in less than an hour. It\u2019s so important to get that emotional beat right, along with all the deeply personal revelations on display. Waitress is an unabashedly emotional show, the kind that could easily feel twee or seem amateur, but this show is anything but. The strong writing and the precisely directed performances keep it fresh and real. I fear that the old-white-male reviewers that make up London\u2019s main critic pool will discount the female-centric story and emotional depth as cutesy or girly when really it\u2019s surprisingly profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If nothing else, Bareilles has given us an extraordinary original score for the modern age, with nary a weak track in there, a rare accomplishment nowadays. With every other aspect of the show just as strong, with laugh out loud moments and truly wrenching emotion, the whole show is destined to be a favorite of many, if not a genuine classic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INFORMATION
<\/strong>Waitress is playing at London\u2019s Adelphi Theatre until at least the fall. They sell pie in the lobby and they pipe in freshly baked pie smell, which is lovely. They don\u2019t have vegan pie though, which is b.s. The official merchandise stall in the lobby does not sell programmes – they are available from the podium by the entrance (so crowded, so dumb) and the pie man in the back. It\u2019s a pretty terrible setup. The bathrooms are downstairs house right, so you have to like bolt out of the stalls to get all the way to the lobby and down. The staff left much to be desired. Also, during previews they had not yet set up barricades at stage door and it was a bonafide disaster of a mosh pit. According to my emails with the theatre, they\u2019ve amended this situation, but I bet it is still a disaster. So the theatre staff and setup leaves much to be desired but the show is perfection. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
