The American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts is just days away from the first preview of the new Sara Bareilles musical Waitress, starring Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller (Beautiful — The Carole King Musical). Mueller stars as waitress and expert pie maker Jenna, who sees a baking contest as her chance to escape her small town and loveless marriage.

Tony winner Diane Paulus directs the world-premiere musical (based on the motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly), with a book by Jessie Nelson, and choreography by Chase Brock. Take a look at some behind-the-scenes footage of rehearsals, plus a sample of its Grammy-winning composer’s original score.

Waitress runs at the A.R.T. from August 2-September 27.
