The Tony nominated musical ‘Waitress,’ making its premiere in San Antonio at the Majestic Theatre for eight performances January 8 through January 13, 2019, has cast two young area actresses to take on the role of “Lulu” during its San Antonio engagement. (Broadway in San Antonio, 2018)

Annie Crain, 5, of Cuero, Texas and Georgia Hallmark 4, of Helotes, have been named in the role of “Lulu,” the daughter of the production’s main character. The character is described as “a sweet and carefree 4-to-5-year-old who appears in the show’s final scene.” Crain is in kindergarten, loves her cat named Bob and outdoor adventures with her three older brothers. Hallmark attends preschool in Helotes, also has three brothers and her hobbies include coloring, soccer, dance and gymnastics.

Both girls were chosen during an audition process held at the Hotel Valencia, November 12. Sixty girls participated in the auditions, which were presided over by members of the ‘Waitress’ company. The character of “Lulu” will be cast locally in each tour market and two girls are chosen to share the role.

Both girls will alternate the role of “Lulu” throughout the run of the show. Exact performance dates for each girl will be determined later, check the Majestic Theatre website for details.

Inspired by Adrienne Shelley’s beloved film, ‘Waitress’ tells the story of Jenna – a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.
