For awhile we were hearing Laura was doing the workshops for the show and then at some point, Jessie took over. Does anyone know why Laura was replaced? I can't even imagine her playing Jenna now--vocally it's just not her part. So did they just go in a different direction with the show? Was she just no longer interested in the show? I'd love to hear!

As a huge fan of Waitress...I don't know if I could picture this.

The photo is from when Laura and Heidi did The Most Happy Fella for Encores! in 2014.

I think BrodyFosse knew that, and was making a joke

Could have also shown a pic of Laura's waitress turn in THE WEDDING SINGER. :)

The show's book was originally supposed to be written by Paula Vogel. Yes, Indecent Paula Vogel, and I would kill to read that script sometime.

Did the change of Paula go hand in hand with the change of Benanti? Maybe Jessie Nelson had a different vision and Benanti didn’t fit that vision?
