Sugar, sugar
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
My hands pluck the things I know that I'll need
I take the sugar and butter from the pantry
I add the flour to begin what I am hoping to start
And then it's down with the recipe
And bake from the heart
Sugar
And butter
And flour
And mother
What's inside?
Everyone wants to know what's inside
And I always tell them but I
Feel more than words can say
You wanna know what's inside?
Simply question, so then what's the answer?
My whole life is in here
In this kitchen baking
What a mess I'm making

Opening Up
by Jessie Mueller, Eric Anderson, Keala Settle, Kimiko Glenn and Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble
Jenna! What's the special pie today?
Uh, deep shit blueberry bacon
Deep shit?
Ye- uh, dish! Deep dish. Sorry, Cal!
C'mon, girl
The day starts like the rest we've seen
Another carbon copy of an old routine
Days keep coming
One out, one in
They keep coming
And make the coffee strong enough to chew!
I don't know what I wish I had
But there's no time now for thinking things like that
We've got too much to do
Too much to do
All these same things
We're always
Opening up
Letting the day in
Over a cup
We'll say "hello, how ya been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
Every day brings
"Hello, how ya been?"
"Thank you, come again!"
Some things never change
I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But I been 'round the block and just came back again
A small town like ours ain't much
But sometimes home is where your ass ends up
Order up!
Ordered up is how the day will find me
Everything in its place and time
And I like the way most of the days look exactly the same
Order up!
Check the clock
Tick, tick tock
Don't stop!
Serve with a smile!
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath when you need to be reminded that with days like these
We can only do the best we can
'Til we do it again
Come on, move it now!
Opening up
Letting the day in
Opening up
Some things never change
"Hello, how ya been?"
"Thank you, come again!"
Some things never change

The Negative
by Keala Settle, Jessie Mueller and Kimiko Glenn
[ Featuring Jessie Mueller, Kimiko Glenn ]
Jenna, time to pee on a stick
Wh-? I don't wanna know
Come on honey, you've waited long enough
Get to it and do it
Wh- okay, girls! Enough
You know what we mean
I hope you drank enough this morning
Come on, sweetie, it's better to know
We'll be right here with you, so
It's no or it's yes
But either way you gotta take the test
A squat and a squeeze
A prayer and a please
It's nothing
A stick and a line
Just one of 'em, if I'm lucky
A pot and a piss
Here we go, sis
And we'll keep our focus on
The negative!
Read the instructions
English!
Do not insert the test stick into your vagina
Wow, thank you, Dawn!
How's I ever get myself in this mess?
One drunk night in that stupid red dress
Oh, I love that red dress! The way it sparkles, it looks like an ice skating outfit
Stay with us, Dawn
Maybe his machinery is broken somehow?
What if his boys don't swim?! I mean, wow, miraculous luck
Yeah, miraculous
To get away with an unprotected f-
Funny how one night can ruin your whole life
Don't go there yet, we don't know what the test says
I'm already panicked
Just calm down, goddammit
Maybe it'll all be fine
Maybe there'll be just one line
Come on, negative
I thought you don't sleep much with you husband much anymore?
Well, I - he got me drunk, I do stupid things when I drink, like sleep with my husband
Honey, we've all made that mistake
Focus on the negative
This will all be alright
It was only one night
Someone send me a sign
One line, one line
That means the test is ready
This is it
Shit

What Baking Can Do
by Jessie Mueller
Make it work
Make it easy
Make it clever, craft it into pieces
Make it sweet
Crimp the edges
Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
Even doubt
Can be delicious
And it washes off of all the dirty dishes
When it's done
I can smile
It's on someone else's plate for a while
I'll place it on display
And then I'll slice and serve my worries away
I can fix this
I can twist it into sugar, butter covered pieces
Never mind what's underneath it
I have done it before
I'll bake me a door to help me get through
I learned that from you
Mama, it's amazing what baking can do
Make it up
And surprise them
Tell them all my secrets but disguise them
So they dance on the tongue
Of the very people that they're secrets from
Make it soon
Make it better
Though, better never lasts forever
I'll make it small so it fits . . . .
Even this . . .
Even now . . .
Even as the walls come tumbling down
Even as I can't stop remembering how
Every door we ever made, we never once walked out
Something I never got the chance to ask her about
So with flour on my hands
I'll show them all how
Goddamn happy I am
Sugar, butter, flour
Don't let me down!
Let's see the next amazing thing baking does now
Make it easy
Make it clever, craft it into pieces
Make it sweet
Crimp the edges
Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
Even doubt
Can be delicious
And it washes off of all the dirty dishes
When it's done
I can smile
It's on someone else's plate for a while
I'll place it on display
And then I'll slice and serve my worries away
I can fix this
I can twist it into sugar, butter covered pieces
Never mind what's underneath it
I have done it before
I'll bake me a door to help me get through
I learned that from you
Mama, it's amazing what baking can do

Tell them all my secrets but disguise them

Even as the walls come tumbling down
Even as I can't stop remembering how
Every door we ever made, we never once walked out
Something I never got the chance to ask her about

I'll show them all how
Goddamn happy I am
Sugar, butter, flour
Don't let me down!

When He Sees Me
by Kimiko Glenn, Keala Settle, Jesse Mueller and Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what? (What?)
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
With a stranger who might talk too fast
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
He can ask me questions about myself
He might sit too close
Or call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before the cream
But what scares me the most
What scares me the most
Is what if when he sees me
What if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that (how do you live with that?)
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So that when he sees me, I want him too
Dawn, don't you think you're being a little, I mean maybe just a tad
I'm not defensive!
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating why
A certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
Sorry girls, but he could be criminal
Some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from an institution
Somewhere where they don't have girls
He could have masterminded some way to find me
He could be color blind
How untrustworthy is that?
He could be less than kind
Or even worse, he could be very nice, have lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
What do I do with that?
Oh, God
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again

It Only Takes a Taste
by Drew Gehling
[ Featuring Jessie Mueller ]
[Dr. Pomatter:]
You know what's kinda funny? Just seeing you, sitting here, all by yourself in your uniform
You remind me of a girl I once knew
Gah, by now she's well in middle age
Probably 41, 42
[Jenna:]
Huh, thank you?
[Dr. Pomatter:]
What? Oh my god no no no no
She was a waitress at a shop I used to frequent quite a lot
Nice teeth and small hands and snuck me goodies I couldn't afford then
She was sweet too
Reminds me of you
[Jenna:]
Hmm... oh, well, nobody ever really notices me that way, so...
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Somebody did, right?
[Jenna:]
Hmm?
[Dr. Pomatter:]
No because you have the, the baby, you'd...
She'd make the pies fresh every day
Like you, I guess but I must say
If pies were books yours would be Shakespeare's letters
You remind me of her, but better
It only takes a taste
When it's something special
It only takes a taste
When ya know it's good
Sometimes one bite is more than enough
To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of
[Jenna:]
That reminds me of a thing we would say
Me and my momma in the kitchen when we'd bake
She'd say Jenna, you can tell the whole story with a taste
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Yeah! no that's exactly what I mean
I swear that as those flavours mixed and melted I could hear the sirens sing
It was truly something special - one taste and I want the whole thing
I must say
It felt like I was carried away
Intoxicated, made me escape the room I was in
I can't help but wonder how your hands must have felt
Creating such a masterful thing
[Jenna:]
Just one bite
Caused all that wondering
[Dr. Pomatter:]
It only takes a taste
[Both:]
It only takes a taste when you know it's good
Sometimes one bite is more than enough
To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

You Will Still Be Mine
by Nick Cordero
[ Featuring Jessie Mueller ]
[Earl:]
Remember my clean shave
Back in our old days
We were just kids
I had my six string
And you had your own thing
Though I don't remember what it is
I wrote you love songs
And you liked that sad one
So I played it all the time
What was that one line
Something 'bout sunshine
I sang it every night
Where the sun don't shine
No, that can't be it
When the sun won't shine
What was it baby?
[Jenna:]
Till the sun don't shine
You will still be mine
[Earl:]
That's right
Man what a whirlwind
So much has happened
And mostly to me
We've come such a long way
No turning back now babe
You're my family
Now promise me
To the end of time
These are ties that bind
Sing it, honey
[Jenna:]
Till the sun don't shine
[Both:]
You will still be mine
[Earl:]
Mine
Mine
Mine

A Soft Place to Land
by Jessie Mueller
[ Featuring Keala Settle, Kimiko Glenn ]
[Jenna:]
Sugar
Sugar, butter, flour
Sometimes I still see her
My mother, the dreamer
She'd say, "nothing's impossible, child"
[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
A dream needs believing
To taste like the real thing
Like some stranger you recognize
[Becky & Dawn:]
So pure
[Jenna:]
So pure, so electric
[Becky & Dawn:]
So electric
So sure
[Jenna:]
So sure, so connected
[Becky & Dawn:]
So connected
[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
To those little believers inside
May we all be so lucky
But dreams are elusive
The kind we've gotten used to is
[Jenna:]
Nothing I can feel
[Dawn:]
Nothing I can hold
[Becky:]
Nothing I can have
[Jenna:]
Nothing that I know
[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
Dreams come and they go
[Jenna:]
But hold them and keep them
[Becky & Dawn:]
But hold them and keep them
[Jenna:]
And know that you need them
[Becky & Dawn:]
And know that you need them
[Jenna:]
When your breaking point's all that
[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
You have
A dream is a soft place to land
May we all be so lucky

Never Ever Getting Rid of Me
by Christopher Fitzgerald, Kimiko Glenn and Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble
[ Featuring Kimiko Glenn, Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble ]
Please just take the mixed bouquet and leave, just leave
Dawn
I will never let you let me leave
I promise I'm not lying
Go ahead ask anybody who has seen me trying
I'm not going, if it seems like I did
I'm probably waiting outside
Such a stubborn man you'll likely never meet another
When we have our family dinner you can ask my mother
She's the best, you'll learn more about her on our family history test
I'm gonna do this right
Show you I'm not moving
Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow
Oh, I'm gonna love you so
You'll learn what I already know
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
You can try, oh, but I
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
Ready for your check?
Not quite, pie for everybody
What?!
I grew up an only child in the suburb of the city
Spent my days alone my only friend was a stray kitty called Sardine
I thought it was hilarious to call a cat a kind of fish
She played hard to get hissing while she scratched me
What she was trying to say was "Ogie come and catch me"
I learned quickly, that perseverance stood between a cat and her new best friend, me
Oh, I'm gonna do this right
Show you I'm not moving
Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow
Oh, I'm gonna love you so
You'll learn what I already know
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
When you say never
You can try, oh, but I
I love you means blah blah blah yip yap yap yap now get back to work!
I can try, but I
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me

Bad Idea
by Jessie Mueller, Original Broadway Cast of Waitress and Drew Gehling
[ Featuring Original Broadway Cast of Waitress, Drew Gehling ]
It's a bad idea, me and you
I know, I totally agree
It's a bad idea, me and you
I've never known anything so true
It's a terrible idea, me and you
You have a wife
You have a husband
You're my doctor
You've got a baby coming
It's a bad idea, me and you
Let's just keep kissing 'til we come to
Heart, stop racing
Let's face it, making mistakes like this will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind, stop running
It's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea, wasn't it though?
It's a bad idea, me and you
It's a bad idea, me and you
Hold me close while I think this through
Yeah, it's a very poor idea, me and you
Heart, stop racing
Let's face it, making mistakes like this will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind, stop running
It's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea, wasn't it though?
I know it's right for me
It's the only thing I've ever done
What if I never see myself ever be anything more
Than what I've already become?
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
Just one
Heart, keep racing
Let's make mistakes
Let us say "so what?" and make worse what was already pretty bad
This secret is safe
No reason to throw it away when there's love to be had
Hold me tight as I tell myself that you might make sense
And make good what has been just so bad
Let's see this through
It's a pretty good bad idea
Me and you

I Didnt Plan It
by Keala Settle
Go ahead
Throw your rocks at me
From your little glass house
And then take off running
You're no better than me
We've both made mistakes intentionally
And I won't do what you keep doing
Sit in judgment of a house I ruined
I don't claim to be proud
But my head wont be hung in shame
I didn't plan it
But the light turned red, and I ran it
And I'm still standing
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here
I understand it
A story written by my own hand
It's life biting right at your heels
I didn't plan it
But it's finally something to feel
Oh
Look around you
Ain't no saints here baby
We're all just looking for a little less crazy
And sometimes it's a hard left turn
Down a road you'd never thought you'd see
Don't you think dealing blame is a hazard
I'm not the only one whose dark side has her
I didn't plan it
Taking back what's been taken for granted
'Cause I can't stand it
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free
I needed saving
And a good mistake needed making
Maybe you need the same thing
I didn't plan it
Taking back what's been taken for granted
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free
I didn't plan it
But it's finally something to feel
Something to feel
Throw your rocks at me
From your little glass house
And then take off running
You're no better than me
We've both made mistakes intentionally
And I won't do what you keep doing
Sit in judgment of a house I ruined
I don't claim to be proud
But my head wont be hung in shame

But the light turned red, and I ran it
And I'm still standing
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here

Good, 'cause I want more of what I had

Feels so good

To be bad
To be bad

In the dark dark chocolate pie?
[Both:]
Take this bad idea and walk this wire

Throw your spark into oil and fire
[Dawn & Ogie:]
Chance won't come every single day
So don't throw it away
[All:]
Don't throw it away
[Dawn & Becky:]
We might burn but we might get saved
I don't feel much fire at all these days
[All:]
Feels so good to
Feels so good to be

You Matter to Me
by Drew Gehling
[ Featuring Jessie Mueller ]
[Dr. Pomatter:]
I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes
They've seen things you never quite say, but I hear
Come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you
And I'll stay there as long as you'll let me
Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me
[Jenna:]
It's addictive the minute you let yourself think
The things that I say just might matter to someone
All of this time I've been keeping my mind on the running away
And for the first time, I think I'd consider the stay
Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me
Dear baby
I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight
They don't pull away, they don't look at your face
And they don't try to kiss you
All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness to it
I hope you become addicted, baby
I hope you become addicted to sayin' things
And having them matter to someone
[Both:]
You matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
[Jenna:]
I promise you do
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Come out of hiding I'm right here beside you
[Jenna:]
You, you matter too
[Dr. Pomatter:]
As long as you'll have me
[Jenna:]
I promise you do
[Dr. Pomatter:]
I do, promise you do
[Jenna:]
You matter to me
[Dr. Pomatter:]
You matter to me
[Both:]
You'll see
You matter to me

I Love You Like a Table
by Christopher Fitzgerald
[ Featuring Kimiko Glenn ]
[Ogie:]
Your white dress sparks words spontaneous
I'll sing from mountaintops
I am in love (love love)
And I don't care who knows it
Lucky me
I was ordi-nary
But with your love, you see
I am a po-o-o-o-o-oem writer
I will express this if I'm able
I love you like a table
My legs were carved for you
I love you like a table
[All:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Ogie:]
I'm wood and you're glue
Cover me with stuff
[All:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Ogie:]
And I will hold it up
Strong and stable
I love you like a table
[Dawn:]
I love you too
And I wanted to try and surprise you
I've written 29 new drafts of vows that didn't rhyme
30 was a
[Dawn & Girls:]

Promise to as best we can
Say I do and tell you that when I see you
I'll want to again

Dear Baby

Your crib was bought with the money I was gonna use to buy us a new life.
The Springfield Pie Contest is starting next week and you and I will not be in attendance.

She Used to Be Mine
by Jessie Mueller
It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken, and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine
And it's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
You're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For that girl that I knew
Who was reckless just enough
Who gets hurt
But who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Getting stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone, but used to be mine
Oh, used to be mine
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken, and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine
And it's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
You're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For that girl that I knew
Who was reckless just enough

But who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Getting stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her

To bring back the fire in her eyes

Everything Changes
by Jessie Mueller, Keala Settle, Kimiko Glenn and Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble
Today's a day, like any other
But I am changed, I am a mother
Oh, in an instant
And who I was has disappeared
It doesn't matter, now you're here
So innocent
I was lost
For you to find
And now I'm yours, and you are mine
Two tiny hands, a pair of eyes
An unsung melody is mine for safekeeping
And I will guard it with my life
I'd hang the moon for it to shine on her sleeping
Starting here and starting now
I can feel the heart of how
Everything changes
I didn't know, but now I see
Sometimes what is, is meant to be
You saved me
My blurry lines, my messy life
Come into focus and in time, maybe
I can heal and I can breathe
'Cause I can feel myself believe
Everything changes
Oh, my heart's at the wheel now
And all my mistakes
They make sense when I turn them around
Everything changes
What I thought was so permanent fades
In the blink of an eye, there's a new life in front of my face
And I know in due time
Every right thing will find its right place
So I swear I'll remember to say
We were both born today
'Cause everything changed
Everything changes

Opening Up (Finale)
by Waitress Original Broadway Company
The day starts like the rest I've seen
And all the carbon copy of where I've already been.
Days keep coming one on one, and they keep coming.
Don't know what I wish I had,
But there's no time now,
For thinking things like that.
I've got too much to do (too much to do)
We've got too much to do, too much to do.
Opening up, letting the day in.
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around, seeing the same things.
It's comforting how some things never change.
Never change, never change. Do they?
I wouldn't call this place a happy end,
But I've been 'round the block and just came back again.
Could be worse, so make it work, no place is perfect.
Hey, no good in the outside world,
Because I feel too much and find it usually hurts.
I like the way most of the days look exactly the same.
Opening up, everyday starts
Over a cup, served with, "Hello, how ya been?"
Welcoming in, whatever the day brings
More of the same things.
Check the clock, tick, tick, tock
Don't stop, serve with a smile, hurry up.
Fill the coffee cup, and then in a while,
Take a breath, when you need to be reminded
That days like these, we can only do the best we can.
And do it all again.
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter.
Opening up, letting the day in.
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around, seeing the same things.
It's comforting how some things never change.
Never change, never change and never change
And all the carbon copy of where I've already been.
Days keep coming one on one, and they keep coming.
Don't know what I wish I had,
But there's no time now,
For thinking things like that.
I've got too much to do (too much to do)
We've got too much to do, too much to do.
Opening up, letting the day in.
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around, seeing the same things.
It's comforting how some things never change.
Never change, never change. Do they?

The musical is based on the 2007 indie film Waitress. The film was produced on a budget of just $1.5 million, earning over $23 million in global box office receipts. The film starred Keri Russell and was written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. The film follows Jenna, a waitress and pie chef living in a small town in the American South, who unexpectedly becomes pregnant and feels trapped in an unhappy marriage. Looking for a way out, she sees a pie contest and its grand prize as her chance.
Following the 2013 Tony Awards, producers Barry and Fran Weissler announced that a musical version of the film was in the works, with Paula Vogel writing the book, Sara Bareilles writing the music and lyrics, and direction by Diane Paulus. The Weisslers purchased the stage rights to the film shortly after its release in 2007. Paula Vogel withdrew from the project in January 2014.
On December 11, 2014, the musical was officially confirmed, and it was announced that the show would receive its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as part of their 2015-2016 season, with Jessie Nelson now writing the book.
Waitress has a rare all-women production team, with Diane Paulus as director, Sara Bareilles as composer and lyricist, Jessie Nelson as book adaptor and Lorin Latarro as choreographer. The Clinton Foundation honored the show's all female team by launching the #CeilingBreaker campaign and distributing free tickets.
