Katharine McPhee was spotted arriving at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York City on Friday, ready to perform in the musical Waitress. The 35-year-old American Idol alum wore a striking red coat and carried a crossbody bag, keeping her face free of makeup for a fresh look.
McPhee made her Broadway debut in 2018 as Jenna in the production, which follows a waitress who discovers she is pregnant with her abusive husband's baby and sees a pie contest as her way out. She rejoined the show on November 25 and is set to perform in its final show on Sunday.
The actress and singer first starred as Jenna during her original run from April to August last year, and later originated the leading role on London's West End in March. The musical, with music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles, was nominated for four Tony Awards in 2016, including Best Original Score and Best Musical.
