I adore this idea and the pink looks great! Hopefully we get a picture of Betsy in the pink... https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Photo-Coverage-WAITRESS-Unveils-Pink-Costumes-for-Breast-Cancer-Awareness-Month-20170927

Correct. Those clues are related to the announcement of Mraz joining the show, which is coming tomorrow.

May I ask why? Simply curious, and an educational opportunity. Feel free to PM me if that is preferable.

Wow, you're right. They absolutely look like nurses.

It is a complicated subject - a great way to educate, truly, but here's a rundown of why pinkwashing is frowned upon by many: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/susan-g-komen-pink-ribbon-facade/

Two women in my life are living with breast cancer. They don't frown upon the symbolism of pink in its various forms, and neither do I. "Thank You" Waitress Ladies!

I personally love them! While it doesn't work for all shows (unrelated, but since a portion of the show is covered in pink anyway, can Barnaby and Cornelius get pink suits too?), it looks lovely here. I love how they're supporting this, it's pretty unique

While I applaud any method that raises awareness, Waitress missed the mark in September. That is Ovarian cancer month and a cancer that has no screening for early detection. Because of no screening and detection in later stages, women need to be made aware of this silent killer. Since both are related to women's health, teal in September and pink in October would have been the way to go.


The only review of a show that matters is your own.

I don't know if it's still easily available but check out the documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. It's not fantastic (the interviews are kind of poorly edited and repetitive) but it sums up the problem and brings up some interesting points that I'd never considered like how calling people who have survived breast cancer fighters implies that those who passed away weren't fighting hard enough or lack some strength of will or moral character.
