Tickets are now on sale for the Australian premiere of Broadway's smash-hit musical
WAITRESS, which will light up the Sydney Lyric Theatre from 1 August 2026. Visit
WaitresstheMusical.com.au to buy tickets.

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film, and brought to life by a trailblazing female-led
creative team, including a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson, an original,
uplifting score by Grammy® winner Sara Bareilles (Love Song, Brave) and direction by Tony®
winner Diane Paulus, WAITRESS is the irresistible Broadway hit about resilience, friendship
and hope that has captured hearts worldwide.

This heartwarming and empowering musical tells the story of Jenna, a small-town waitress
and expert pie maker who longs to escape her rocky marriage and start again. When a
baking contest, an unexpected new romance and the support of her fellow waitresses offer
her a taste of change, Jenna discovers that the secret ingredient to happiness might be
closer than she ever imagined.

"Get your tickets now for the Australian premiere of this original and inspiring production,"
said producer John Frost for Crossroads Live. "WAITRESS became a huge hit on Broadway
where it played for almost four years, receiving four Tony nominations and six Drama Desk
nominations, as well as many other awards and nominations. It had a return season on
Broadway, played the West End from 2019, toured the US three times, and was a huge hit in
many countries across the world. WAITRESS has become a 'must see' musical, with its
memorable music by Sara Bareilles and universal themes of hope and resilience."

"Treat yourself to a slice of 5 Star musical pie" - The Times
"Sweet, sassy, passionate & delightful!" - New York Magazine
"Simply delightful! A glorious reminder that life is messy and wondrous!" - The Washington Post

WAITRESS made history on Broadway with the four top creative spots in a show being filled
by women – Sara Bareilles (music and lyrics), Jessie Nelson (book), Lorin Latarro
(choreography) and Diane Paulus (direction). It opened on Broadway in April 2016 at the
Brooks Atkinson Theatre, where it ran until January 2020. WAITRESS was originally produced
by Barry & Fran Weissler and Norton and Elayne Herrick.

Sweet, sassy and soul-stirring, WAITRESS is "a little slice of heaven" (Entertainment Weekly)
and "made from the finest ingredients" (Time Out). It's a feel-good celebration of second
chances, and the magic of a well-made pie.

If only life were as easy as pie…
