Joey McIntyre currently plays the role of Dr. Pomatter through April 7.

Shoshana Bean joins the company as Jenna, beginning on March 18, and playing through May 12, 2019.

Jeremy Jordan first appeared on Broadway in the musical Rock of Ages, before playing the starring role of Tony in Broadway's revival of West Side Story. He played Clyde in Bonnie & Clyde opposite Laura Osnes and Jack Kelly in Newsies. Jordan had a recurring role in season two of NBC's hit series Smash, and most recently in The CW drama Supergirl. Jeremy also starred in the film adaptation of The Last 5 Years, opposite Oscar and Tony nominee, Anna Kendrick. He most recently appeared on Broadway in American Son, which was filmed for Netflix.

Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a Waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as "?The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie" and "Betrayed By My Eggs Pie." When a baking contest in a nearby county - and a satisfying run-in with someone new - show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.


Waitress opened April 24, 2016 at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street). Based upon the 2007 motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress is the first Broadway musical in history to have four women in the four top creative team spots, with a book by Jessie Nelson, a score by six-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, choreography by Lorin Latarro and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus.
