If only life were as easy as pie… Broadway’s smash-hit musical WAITRESS is baking its way to Melbourne!


Everyone deserves a slice of happiness!


Broadway’s smash-hit musical WAITRESS is baking its way to Australia for the very first time! Inspired by Adrienne Shelly’s beloved film and brought to life by a trailblazing creative team, including a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson, an original, uplifting score by Grammy® winner Sara Bareilles (Love Song, Brave) and direction by Tony® winner Diane Paulus, WAITRESS is the irresistible hit about resilience, friendship and hope.


Starring acclaimed powerhouse Natalie Bassingthwaighte as Jenna alongside show-stopping Gabriyel Thomas as Becky, theatre favourite Mackenzie Dunn as Dawn, charismatic stage and screen star Rob Mills as Dr Pomatter and legend of Australian entertainment John Waters as Joe.


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. WAITRESS has captivated audiences around the world and is “a slice of 5-star musical pie” – The Times
