"From Broadway to Big Screen: 'Waitress: The Musical' Delivers a Memorable Experience"

"Waitress: The Musical," directed by Diane Paulus and Brett Sullivan, is a film adaptation of the Broadway hit that showcases Sara Bareilles's enduring score. While the live capture highlights the musical's themes of liberation, empowerment, and pie, it also exposes flaws in the depiction of power imbalances. Starring Bareilles in the lead role of Jenna, the film follows her journey of escaping an abusive relationship through baking pies. Although some aspects played better on stage, Bareilles's performance anchors the movie and makes it an enjoyable experience.
