Waitress - The Broadway Hit Musical 2026

FROM AUGUST 2026

SYDNEY LYRIC THEATRE, PYRMONT

The Broadway sensation WAITRESS arrives in Sydney for the very first time. Inspired by Adrienne Shelly’s hit film, this uplifting story is brought to life through a book by Jessie Nelson and an original score by Grammy winner Sara Bareilles, featuring songs like Love Song and Brave. Directed by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus, WAITRESS has won hearts around the world with its celebration of resilience, friendship and finding joy in the everyday.

Follow Jenna, a talented pie maker longing for a fresh start, as a baking contest and unexpected romance offer her a new recipe for happiness. Sweet, sassy and soul-stirring, WAITRESS is a delightful reminder that everyone deserves a second chance.
