As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Waitress will end its Broadway run at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020. When the show says goodbye to Broadway, it will have played 33 previews and 1544 performances.

In the time since it opened, Waitress has celebrated several important milestones. At the end of June 2019, Waitress became the longest running show in the history of the Brooks Atkinson Theater. In addition to the Broadway production, Waitress is now playing in London's West End at the Adelphi Theatre and on a North American tour, and is planning to open in Australia and Holland in 2020, and Japan in 2021.

Before we say goodbye to Waitress, we're studying up on the current 2019 cast!
