Waitress

‘Waitress’ Review – Victoria Theatre Association – Bruised But Not Broken

June 26, 2019 By Russell Florence, Jr.

Life can often be terribly messy and completely blissful at the same time. Case in point: Jenna Hunterson, an expectant mother and pie baking extraordinaire at the center of the heartfelt joy and compelling drama within Waitress, the 2016 Tony Award-nominated musical receiving an outstanding local premiere courtesy of the Victoria Theatre Association’s Premier Health Broadway Series at the Schuster Center.

Featuring firm direction by Diane Paulus, a terrifically introspective and humorous pop-infused score by Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, and a witty, relevant book by Jessie Nelson based on the 2007 film of the same name by the late Adrienne Shelly, Waitress finds hard-working, meek and unassuming Jenna (an excellent Christine Dwyer) at a critical crossroads. Stuck in a loveless marriage with her abusive husband Earl (Jeremy Woodard, a believably one-dimensional jerk), she receives overdue respect and passionate romance in the arms of her handsome gynecologist Dr. Pomatter (a delightfully charming and neurotic Steven Good). But is her affair, her pursuit of happiness, really worth it, especially with a little one on the way? Actually, Jenna doesn’t want a kid, readily admitting to Dr. Pomatter that her pregnancy is not a party. Even so, the birth of her child, the eventual true love of her life, holds the key to realizing her existence has only just begun.

Dwyer, a stunning Elphaba in the 2012 Dayton engagement of “Wicked,” returns with understated finesse, warmly tapping into the therapeutic nature of Jenna’s penchant for pies (her mother was also a pro in the kitchen, an element deserving deeper exploration) and providing a superb transformation late in the show climaxing with the emotional ballad She Used to Be Mine coupled with Jenna’s decision to finally take matters into her own hands. In addition to the aforementioned Good, she receives wonderful support from the sassy, motherly Melody A. Betts and kooky, naïve Ephie Aardema as Jenna’s thoughtful co-workers Becky and Dawn, respectively. Betts, a vocal powerhouse, notably provides a knockout rendition of the soulful I Didn’t Plan It. Jovial standout Jeremy Morse is a hoot as Dawn’s overexcited beau Ogie, a plum comedic role he also portrayed on Broadway. Ryan G. Dunkin commands attention as Cal, head cook and Jenna’s boss.

Paulus’ first-rate artistic team includes choreographer Lorin Latarro (filling many transitions with expressive fluidity), scenic designer Scott Pask, costumer Suttirat Anne Larlarb, lighting designer Ken Billington, sound designer Jonathan Deans, music director Robert Cookman, and conductor/pianist Lilli Wosk.

Without a doubt, this national tour of Waitress, on par with the original Broadway production, brings Dayton’s 2018-2019 season to a winning close.

Waitress continues through Sunday, June 30 at the Schuster Center, Second and Main Streets, Dayton. Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday-Friday; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday; and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Act One: 75 minutes; Act Two: 65 minutes. Tickets are $26-$115. For tickets or more information, call Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or visit ticketcenterstage.com.

Victoria Announces 2018-2019 Season

February 28, 2018 By Russell Florence, Jr.

Six entertaining musicals headline the Victoria Theatre Association’s 2018-2019 Premier Health Broadway Series at the Schuster Center.

The slate features Andrew Lloyd Webber’s spirited School of Rock – The Musical, the tender Finding Neverland, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic romance The King and I (based on Lincoln Center Theater’s gorgeous 2015 Tony Award-winning revival), Emilio and Gloria Estefan’s exuberant On Your Feet!, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg‘s Tony Award-winning megahit Les Misérables, and Grammy and Tony nominee Sara Bareilles’ sentimental hit Waitress. In particular, School of Rock, Finding Neverland and Waitress are based on their respective films.

The Projects Unlimited Star Attractions features The Wizard of Oz, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical based on the holiday TV classic, John Kander and Fred Ebb’s scintillating and sexy Chicago, and Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez’s Tony Award-winning irreverent hoot The Book of Mormon.
“It’s a fabulous lineup of shows,” said Ken Neufeld, VTA President and CEO set to retire in August. “Our 2018-2019 Premier Health Broadway Series will bring a variety of shows that will be enjoyable for all ages. From classic musicals Les Misérables and The King and I, to the latest from Broadway including School of Rock, the touching Finding Neverland, On Your Feet!, featuring the infectious music of Gloria Estefan, and Waitress, the new musical with words and music written by Sara Bareilles. Our Projects Unlimited Star Attraction Series brings The Wizard of Oz, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical, Chicago, and the much-anticipated return of The Book of Mormon.”

The Morris Furniture Company Family Series features The Ugly Duckling, The Phantom Tollbooth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Diary of a Worm, A Spider & A Fly, and The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System. There are also sensory-friendly performances available of The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favourites and The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System.
“The 2018-2019 Morris Furniture Company Family Series include shows the whole family can enjoy,” Neufeld added. “We appreciate how these shows bring the whole family together for live theatre at the historic Victoria Theatre.”

The insightful National Geographic Live! Series, showcasing renown scientists, explorers and photographers, consists of Ellen Stofan: A Planet To Call Home, Mark Synnott: Life on the Vertical, and Florian Schulz: Into the Arctic Kingdom.

Neufeld also announced news of the forthcoming Arts Annex, which will be located at the corner of Second and Ludlow Streets across the street from the Schuster Center. Slated to open this fall, the performing arts facility will offer a black box theatre, reception area, studios, and more. The complex will also serve as the new home for Dare to Defy Productions and Playground Theatre, two troupes previously housed inside the Mathile Theatre of the Schuster Center in recent years. The Arts Annex, promoting “big ideas in small spaces,” is still looking for financial support. Interested patrons should contact the VTA directly.

An array of VTA season ticket holders, donors, sponsors, and friends were present for the Feb. 27 announcement, held at the Victoria Theatre and perhaps one of the most engaging and heartfelt announcement ceremonies in recent memory. In fact, multiple VTA campaign videos highlighted the joy of experiencing theater for the first time by way of the company’s programming. Notable reflections were offered by Betty Gould, VTA Group Sales Manager, and Fischer Barnett, a sophomore at Stivers School for the Arts seen on the Victoria stage in the Muse Machine productions of Hairspray and Hello, Dolly! In addition, Arica Jackson of the current national tour of Waitress provided a soulful rendition of I Didn’t Plan It, and Lexie Dorsett Sharp, an Ohio native and member of the current national tour of School of Rock, offered a video “shout out.”

Season subscriptions range from $245-$594. New Season Ticket Holders will be seated once current Season Ticket Holders’ renewals are fulfilled. Single tickets will go on sale at a later date. Renewal packets for all current Premier Health Broadway Series Season Ticket Holders will mail the morning of Feb. 28. The deadline for current Season Ticket Holders to request changes to Broadway Season Ticket packages is March 13. The deadline to renew 2018-2019 Broadway Season Ticket packages is March 16.  Season Ticket sales for the Morris Furniture Company Family Series and National Geographic Live Series begin later in the spring. For more information, call Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or visit ticketcenterstage.com.
