The London company of Waitress is wishing the New York production a happy birthday today as it enters its fourth year on Broadway, having opened at the Brooks Atkinson Theater on 24 April 2016. The hit show was the first ever Broadway musical in history to have four women in the four top creative team spots.

On its Broadway opening, Waitress was nominated for four Outer Critics’ Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical; two Drama League Award Nominations, including Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical; six Drama Desk Nominations, including Outstanding Musical; and four Tony Award Nominations, including Best Musical.

The London production of Waitress had its official opening night at the Adelphi Theatre on 7 March where the Tony-nominated musical is now booking to 19 October.

Brought to life by a ground breaking, female-led creative team, the hit show features an original score by 7-time Grammy® nominee Sara Bareilles (Love Song, Brave), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam) and direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (Pippin, Finding Neverland) and choreography by Lorin Latarro.

The production is currently touring the US and will have its Australian premiere in 2020 at the Sydney Lyric Theatre.
