Original Broadway Cast of Waitress
“Opening Up” introduces Jenna’s life at the diner, including her coworkers, her boss, and the general monotony of her life. Directly following “What’s Inside”, this song situates the audience with all that waitresses face rather than just Jenna’s situation, thus setting up the songs that explore Bec...
[CAL, spoken]
Jenna! What's the special pie today?
[JENNA, spoken]
Uh, deep shit blueberry bacon.
[CAL, spoken]
Deep shit?
[JENNA, spoken]
Ye- uh, dish! Deep dish. Sorry, Cal!
[CAL, spoken]
C'mon, girl.
[JENNA]
The day starts like the rest we've seen
Another carbon copy of an old routine
[BECKY]
Days keep coming
[DAWN]
One out, one in
[BECKY, DAWN & JENNA]
They keep coming
[CAL, spoken]
And make the coffee strong enough to chew!
[JENNA]
I don't know what I wish I had
But there's no time now for thinking things like that
We've got too much to do
[BECKY & DAWN]
Too much to do
[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
All these same things
We're always
Opening up
Letting the day in
Over a cup
We'll say "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
Every day brings
"Hello, how ya been?"
"Thank you, come again!"
Some things never change
[BECKY]
I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But I been 'round the block and just came back again
A small town like ours ain't much
But sometimes home is where your ass ends up
[CAL]
Order up!
[DAWN]
Ordered up is how the day will find me
Everything in its place and time
And I like the way most of the days look exactly the same
[CAL]
Order up!
[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
Check the clock
Tick, tick, tock
[CAL]
Don't stop!
Serve with a smile!
[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath when you need
To be reminded that with days like these
We can only do the best we can
'Til we do it again
[CAL]
Come on, move it now!
[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
Opening up
Letting the day in
Opening up
Some things never change
"Hello, how ya been?"
"Thank you, come again!"
Some things never change
