Gift Someone You Love ‘Waitress’ Tickets this Christmas
Due to popular demand, additional performances for the Sydney season of Broadway’s smash-hit musical Waitress have been released on pre-sale with general public sales from Friday 5 December. Tickets to this heartwarming production, which will play at Sydney Lyric Theatre from 1 August 2026, would make a great Christmas gift. Tickets for the Melbourne season will go on pre-sale next Monday.
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) choreography by Lorin Latarro, 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.
“I’m thrilled to bring this original and inspiring production to Australia,” said producer John Frost for Crossroads Live. “Waitress became a massive hit on Broadway where it played for almost four years, and was a huge success in the West End and across the world. Waitress has become a ‘must see’ musical, with its memorable music by Sara Bareilles and universal themes of hope and resilience. Get your tickets now to enjoy this life-affirming and exciting show.”
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.
