The Broadway hit musical Waitress, based on the film of the same name, continues its run at the Walton Arts Center this weekend. There are a few chances to see it. Here’s our review of the show.

There’s a celebration of jazz happening on the Fayetteville square this weekend. The Fayetteville Jazz Festival is happening at the Guisinger Music House. Friday night, there’s a performance by Doug Stone Quartet. Here’s more info.

There’s a comedy show at Nomad’s. The venue will host another installment of their Southtown Comedy Night, featuring jokes by JT Habersaat and Jay Chanoine.

Music wise, it’s looking like a nice night to sit outside, eat some BBQ, and watch some tunes. For that, you could check out locals Statehouse Electric at Wright’s BBQ. Check them out here.
