"This tightly structured revue features a bright, bouncy score by Harry Mayronne, who also plays the piano throughout the show with his usual brilliance. His rich tones and steady pace drive the program. The book and lyrics by Ricky Graham are filled with his delicious form of wit and wordplay that elevate it all beyond camp to the most knowing satire."

The musical comedy all about
working in the service industry
Originally presented as "The Black & White Blues"
at Le Chat Noir in New Orleans, LA (2002).
Produced off-Broadway run in 2006,
and in Dover, Delaware in 2008 and 2012
The show just celebrated it’s ten-year anniversary and is
one of New Orleans’ longest-running shows!
“Only a select few shows, however, have attained such
legendary success that led to years-long runs or perennial revivals.
“One Mo’ Time.” “Nobody Likes a Smartass.” “… And the Ball and All.”
To that list we can add “Waiting Around: The Restaurant Musical...”
