The Cherry on top!

The Oliviers have come around thick and fast this year, and the competition is tight. Waitress' very own Gavin Creel and SIX's Alexia McIntosh announced this year's nominations ahead of next month's ceremony.

With &Juliet and Fiddler on the Roof leading this year's nominations, with seventeen nominations between them, our sweet tooth kicked in when Waitress respectively scooped up two of the nominations. 

Each night, Waitress whips up a delicious treat of a musical for their audience members, and it's now received two nods from the Olivier Awards. With Sara Bareilles' Music and Lyrics earning the nomination for Best Original Score, Bareilles also glazed the cherry on top by receiving the nod for Best New Musical. 

Be sure to tune in on Sunday 5th April to find out if Waitress is served up the title Best New Musical. 

What is waitress about?

Suffocated by both the small Southern town where she lives, and her controlling husband Earl, Jenna longs for escape. Her only solace comes from working in the local diner, where she can practice her passion for baking. Jenna's crumbly pastries and crinkly crusts are renowned the town over, and by a stroke of luck, they might just offer her an escape route! A pie-baking contest is announced in a

nearby town, with a potentially life-changing cash prize for first place. Jenna realises this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity and is determined to grab it with both hands!
