Broadway's Waitress is set to welcome William Popp (Sleep No More) in his Broadway debut when he takes over the role of Earl on September 23. Original cast member Nick Cordero leaves the cast to take on a starring role in the upcoming Broadway production of A Bronx Tale.
Inspired by Adrienne Shelley's 2007 motion picture, Waitress marks the Broadway debut of Grammy-nominated songwriter Sarah Bareilles, who composed the show's score, and noted screenwriter and director Jessie Nelson, who penned the book. It opened April 24 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre and received 2016 Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for its score and production, as well as for Mueller's performance.
The current company is headed by Tony winner Jessie Mueller, alongside Keala Settle, Christopher Fitzgerald, Jenna Ushkowitz, Drew Gehling, Dakin Matthews, Eric Anderson, Charity Angél Dawson, Jeremy Morse, Stephanie Torns, Thay Floyd, Molly Hager, Aisha Jackson, Ragan Pharris, Ryan Vasquez, Max Kumangai, and Henry Gottfried.
In addition to starring in off-Broadway’s Sleep No More, William Popp has appeared on television shows including Person of Interest, Blue Bloods, and The Americans.
