The music and lyrics are by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, whose contemporary pop-inspired score includes showstoppers like She Used to Be Mine that have become favourites well beyond the theatre world.

Where is Waitress performed in Bradford?

In April 2026, Waitress is performed at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, a large city-centre venue known for hosting major touring musicals, with a wide range of seating from stalls close to the stage up to higher balcony levels.

What are the performance times in Bradford?

During the Bradford run, evening performances are generally at 7:30 pm from Monday to Saturday, with additional matinee shows on selected days such as Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, giving you options to fit your schedule.

Is Carrie Hope Fletcher appearing in the Bradford dates?

The 2026 tour lists the Bradford Alhambra engagement as one of the venues where Carrie Hope Fletcher is set to star as Jenna, although all casting is always subject to change if illness or other circumstances arise.

Is Waitress suitable for children and families?

Waitress includes adult themes such as domestic abuse, infidelity, pregnancy, and some strong language and sexual references, so the Bradford performances carry an age guidance of around 13 and over, meaning it is best suited for teens and adults rather than young children.

How long does the performance last?

The show usually runs for about two and a half hours including an interval, so you should allow a full evening and plan travel and parking so you arrive in good time and are not rushed at the end of the night.

How can I get cheaper tickets for Waitress in Bradford?

To find cheaper tickets, look at weekday performances rather than Saturdays, consider upper circle or balcony seats which are usually more affordable than the front stalls, check for restricted-view seats clearly marked at lower prices, and try to book well in advance before the lowest-price sections sell out.

Are there discounts or special offers available for Bradford?

You may be able to save with group discounts if you are booking for several people, advance-booking or early-bird deals, occasional midweek or off-peak promotions, and last-minute offers on remaining seats, so it is worth checking different dates and being flexible about where you sit in the theatre.
