Jenna Hunterson is trapped by an abusive husband, a man who can’t love, and coming to work is the best part of her day. Inventing new pies, baking and serving her worries away. However, when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, she finds her life turning (pineapple) upside down (pie). Can Jenna continue to bake her worries away? Or will her bad ideas catch up with her? * * * *Waitress* tickets are currently booking until 28 March 2020 at [**London's Adelphi Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/3/adelphi-theatre.aspx).
