According to a press release:

 

"Waitress: The Musical" brings the Tony-nominated, Broadway phenomenon to the big screen. Featuring composer-lyricist Sara Bareilles as Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage.

Through the support of her fellow waitresses and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take a long-abandoned dream off the shelf. 'Waitress' celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, the family we choose and the beauty of a well-baked pie.
