OGUNQUIT, Maine — "Waitress: The Musical" has been attracting audiences to Broadway and beyond since 2016 and this month. You can see the musical for yourself at the Ogunquit Playhouse.
The show follows a young waitress named Jenna who is looking for a way out of her less than pleasant marriage and small town and, features music written by Grammy winner, Sara Bareilles.
Desi Oakley plays the role of Jenna. Oakley originated the first national tour of the musical and is taking on the role again.
"It feels different this time around, but familiar. The world has changed, things have changed and my Jenna is different," Oakley said. "Part of my job originating the first national tour was to emulate what was happening on Broadway and so, with care and sort of execution that felt a bit more technical is how we approached that in the past. This feels like we are in Ogunquit, we know that we're pumped to be here. We hope that you're pumped that we're here."
The TikTok sensations "Cost N Mayor" choreographed the show. This is the first full-length musical the pair has been apart of. The cast said they enjoyed working with the couple and were blown away by their talent.
