Following its successful run on Broadway, the show brought its all-female creative team to the UK — a West End musical first — when performances began at the Adelphi Theatre in February 2019.

Waitress tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage.A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness. But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life. This American musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.Dates :BELFASTRehearsals Tuesday 1st March 2022 in BelfastPerformances From Tuesday 1st – Saturday 5th March 2022DUBLINRehearsals Tuesday 7th June in DublinPerformances Tuesday 7th – Saturday 18th June 2022Please do NOT suggest children for other venues at this stage – we will release dates ofauditions for other venues nearer the time.
