Based on the 2007 film written by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress opened on Broadway in 2016 and in the West End at the Adelphi Theatre in 2019. It has since performed around the world and won multiple awards across the US and UK. This heartwarming, uplifting musical tells the story of a small-town pie-maker stuck in a loveless marriage. A baking contest might offer Jenna a ticket to a new life, if she can find the courage and strength to take it.

It features music and lyrics by Grammy award-winning, singer-songwriter sensation Sara Bareilles, with a book by Jessie Nelson, direction by Tony-award winner Diane Paulus and choreography by Lorin Latarro.

This production stars Carrie Hope Fletcher as Jenna, Sandra Marvin as Becky, Evelyn Hoskins as Dawn, Les Dennis as Old Joe, Dan Partridge as Dr Pomatter, Mark Anderson as Ogie, Mark Willshire as Earl and Dan O’Brien as Cal.

Waitress will open at the New Wimbledon Theatre from Saturday 28 March 2026.
