Waitress celebrated its official opening night at the Adelphi Theatre on 7 March and the Tony-nominated musical, brought to life by a ground breaking, female-led creative team and featuring an original score by
Sara Bareilles, has received widespread acclaim from critics and public alike.
Waitress premiered on Broadway in March 2016 and has since become the longest running show in the history of the
Brooks Atkinson Theater. The production is also currently touring the US and Canada and has announced an Australian premiere in 2020 at the Sydney Lyric Theatre with further productions to open in Holland next year and Japan in 2021.
Sara Bareilles became an international star following the release of her debut album Little Voice, featuring Love Song, in 2007 which reached number 1 in more than 20 countries across the world. Since then she has gone on to release a New York Times best-selling book, Sounds Like Me - My Life (so far) in Song, five studio albums and has earned 7 Grammy nominations including Best Musical Theater Album for
Waitress. The show's hit ballad, She Used To Be Mine, has inspired countless covers by all sexes and ages across the world, performed by well-known theatrical stars and musicians to young viral sensations, receiving millions of views to date. She has just been announced for a second Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for 'This One's For You' together with
Josh Groban. Other accolades include the Women's Entrepreneurship Day
Pioneer Awards for her success in Music and her championing of women everywhere at the
United Nations and a 2018 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role in Jesus Christ Superstar Live!
