A Day With Waitress Leading Man Drew Gehling

In Waitress, the Broadway musical created by Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson, Drew Gehling plays the charming Dr. Pomatter opposite Jessie Mueller's Jenna. To get into character for each performance, Gehling has an extensive pre-show ritual that takes him from sign-in to his dressing room to the opening number. Join TheaterMania as we tail him all the way from his first marshmallow through the last seconds before curtain-up.

I had the chance to see him performing with Sara last September and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. This man is pure talent.

[@TravelwithTasha393]

I feel so bad for the Broadway community right now. Most of them haven’t worked in over a year. By the time they are able to get back to work it will be almost two years!! Can’t wait to go back to the theatre 🎭

[@malloryfallon6394]
