Broadway Rose Theatre Company is presenting two major musicals this summer, starting with the contemporary production 'Waitress.' Directed by Lyn Cramer, this innovative piece features a female-centric narrative that blends realistic character struggles with elements of magical realism. Set in Joe's Diner in the American South, it follows protagonist Jenna, a talented pie-maker, as she navigates a challenging life with an abusive husband and personal dreams. The musical's opening, featuring the memorable line "Sugar - butter - flour," sets a tone of whimsical storytelling intertwined with Jenna's emotional struggles, offering viewers a unique theatrical experience.
Earl, obviously, is not the kind of guy you want to have a baby with. But as Jenna quips to her friends while waiting for the results of a pregnancy test, "I do stupid things when I drink - like sleep with my husband."
This is clear from the very beginning of Waitress, as the sounds of sweet, clear voices are heard around the stage. "Sugar - butter - flour," they sing as the curtain opens on the quaint Joe's Diner.
