Geordie TV star Chelsea Halfpenny was given a very warm welcome by her home audience on Tuesday night, as she took to the stage in Waitress at Newcastle Theatre Royal.
The former Emmerdale cast member starred as pie-making prodigy Jenna, in the musical adaption of Adrienne Shelly’s cult American indie flick of the same name.
The show, which features a catchy country-rock soundtrack by singer-song writer Sara Bareilles, follows the Southern waitress as she seeks to escape her abusive marriage, find happiness and cook up a storm.
