About the Broadway and West End hit Waitress
Waitress set itself apart before even opening by having the first all-female-led creative team which includes a book by Jessie Nelson, direction by Tony Award-winner Dianne Paulus, choreography by Lorin Latarro and, of course, music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles. Waitress is based on the film of the same name written by Adrienne Shelly. The show opened on Broadway at the Brook Atkinson Theatre in April 2016 and opened in the West End (in previews) on 8 February 2019.
Waitress tickets starring Sara Bareilles are still available!
