Sara Bareilles, a Grammy-nominated (now Tony-nominated as well) singer-songwriter of whom I really love was the lyricist for this cool new Broadway play called Waitress and I have just learned a couple of weeks back that the story is actually based on a film. What a treat! Of course, we did check it out!
We've seen the movie a couple of weeks back starring the lovely Keri Russell as the lead pie connoisseur, Jenna Hunterson and Nathan Fillion as the doctor debonair, Jim Pomatter and what do I say, I just loved it! I learned that it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2007 and as an indie sucker that I am, I cannot help but admire the simplicity and complexity (the ironies) of the whole package.

It was a whimsical journey of a lady which ended up with a self discovery sprinkled with a sweet bundle of joy and cream whipped on top. Not the best but certainly entertaining as the characters were portrayed really well. You just cannot help but feel with them.
What's Inside: Songs from Waitress (album) has been my jam for so long I even had a separate blogpost for She Used To Be Mine which is one of my favourites off the soundtrack penned by none other than the musical genius herself, Sara Bareilles. I have also read her autobiography recently (a book review of which I am yet to post) and I just feel her on so many levels. I was even humming the songs from the musical having known them first before seeing the actual film. The casts have their versions but check out the songs here (as sung by Sara).
How I really wish to see the full Broadway performances but these playlists will do for now.
