[NEohioPAL] REVIEW:"Waitress" @ Playhouse Square

[Laura Kennelly]

Review of "Waitress" by Laura Kennelly

“If music food pie be the food of love, play on” [alt-Shakespeare]. That
could be the motif for “Waitress,” the first 2017-2018 Playhouse Square
Broadway series production. Pie features prominently in this musical
directed by Tony-Award winner Diane Paulus and featuring songs by Sara
Bareilles and book by Jessie Nelson. It’s based on the 2007 film “Waitress”
by Adrienne Shelly.


This finely-crafted show in the Connor Palace opens the national tour of
the Broadway hit that’s still playing in NYC. We may be in Cleveland, but
we might as well be in New York as far as cast, sets, and performances go.
“Waitress” revels in a slickly presented and sassy mix, blending song,
great sets, recipes for imaginary pies, dancing, and sex into a sprightly
musical event.
