And the orchestration that accompanied Jenna’s song reminiscing about her mother left behind a lovely feeling of nostalgia and childlike hope.
“Everything Changes” literally feels like a lullaby soothing you to sleep, or at least soothing the anxiety of Jenna’s interactions with her toxic husband, Earl. Many of the three-part harmonies sung by Jisel Soleil Ayon, Dominique Kent, and Gabriella Marzetta (as the trio of waitress friends Jenna, Becky, and Dawn) moved me to tears. The harmonies and orchestrations put together by Bareilles and The Waitress Band are absolutely divine. You hear a certain run or chord progression and think: “This is a Sara Bareilles song.”Īnd her sound works so well with the storytelling of this particular show. The songs of Waitress have the power to move people to tears, laughter, and dancing in their seats.īareilles has such an interesting sound, in that there are a lot of folk elements ( a la Jewel and Fleetwood Mac), and yet there is a cadence to her songs that is all her own. The tunes and lyrics were composed by Grammy-winner Sara Bareilles, and with every note one can understand why she’s carried home so many awards. Why did we all have such a smashing good time? Well, let us start with the music. But in all seriousness, my theater companion and I had such a good time that other audience members told us our enjoyment made them enjoy the show even more.
