Critical response [edit]

The show garnered more often than not mixed-to-positive reviews in both runs. Frank Rizzo, reviewing the Boston production for Variety, wrote: "...making Earl and then relentlessly horrible makes Jenna'due south inability to go out him not just indecisive only something more worrisome... Meanwhile, there's picayune evidence for the proficient doctor being Jenna'due south lost soulmate, despite his loving bedside style... Mueller's performance transcends the show's imperfections. She'due south funny, frisky and likable. She sings Bareilles' songs beautifully... director Diane Paulus fills the production with clever touches – a scalloped pie-crust proscenium, a fluid and easygoing flow and a natural truthfulness in the performances."[93]

For the Broadway production, many critics found Bareilles' score and Mueller'south performance to be the highlights of the show. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times gave a mixed review of the evidence, merely called Mueller'due south operation "a high point of the Broadway season".[94] Time Out New York gave the production four stars and said, "Waitress has an first-class ratio of sweetness to tart; supporting characters who provide crustiness (Dakin Matthews'south grumbly shop owner) and flakiness (Christopher Fitzgerald'southward loony admirer of another waitress); and cooked-to-perfection staging past Diane Paulus. The whole dish is—please forgive me—love at first bite."[95] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said, "...the cloth is anchored at every footstep by Bareilles' melodious popular score and Mueller's supremely natural performance equally Jenna. While the stock characters that surround her may exist familiar, they're a winsome bunch played by sterling performers".[96]
