Frequently Asked Questions

When is Waitress playing in Leicester in 2026?

Waitress is at Curve Leicester from Monday 20 July to Saturday 25 July 2026, for a one-week run on the 2026 UK and Ireland tour.

What is Waitress about?

Waitress follows Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of some happiness in her life, but is stuck in an unhappy and controlling marriage; when she discovers she is pregnant and a hot new doctor arrives in town, a lucrative pie contest and the support of her friends Becky and Dawn give her hope that she might change her future.

What themes does the musical explore?

The musical explores domestic abuse, low self-esteem, friendship, motherhood, infidelity, and the courage it takes to change your life, using Jenna’s imaginative pies, humour, and the bond between the three waitresses as a warm and moving way to show how she processes her feelings and slowly finds the strength to stand up for herself.

Has Waitress received any major awards or nominations?

Waitress has received several major nominations, including four Tony Award nominations on Broadway, and the West End production has been nominated for two Olivier Awards for Best New Musical and for Sara Bareilles’s music and lyrics in the Best Original Score or New Orchestrations category.

Who created the music and who is on the creative team?

The music and lyrics are by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, with a book by Jessie Nelson and direction by Diane Paulus, forming a female-led creative team whose contemporary pop-influenced score and emotionally honest storytelling helped the show become a hit in New York, London, and now on this anniversary tour.

Where is Waitress performed in Leicester?

In July 2026, Waitress is performed at Curve on Rutland Street in Leicester, a modern city-centre theatre with a large main auditorium that regularly hosts major touring musicals and offers a range of seating from stalls near the stage to higher-level seats with broad views.

Who is starring in the Leicester dates?

For the Leicester run, the official tour information shows that casting for the role of Jenna is still to be announced, so unlike earlier venues where Carrie Hope Fletcher is confirmed, Curve’s week currently lists the lead casting as to be confirmed closer to the time.

What are the performance times in Leicester?

During the Curve engagement, evening performances are scheduled at 7:30 pm from Monday to Saturday, with additional matinee performances on at least one midweek day and on Saturday afternoon, giving you a choice between an evening out and an earlier daytime show.

How long does the performance of Waitress usually last?

The performance typically lasts around two and a half hours including an interval, so you should allow a full evening (or afternoon for a matinee) and plan your travel and parking so you can arrive in good time and leave the theatre without rushing afterwards.

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 Curve advises discretion for parents bringing children under 13 and the show is generally recommended for teenagers and adults rather than younger children.

How can I get cheaper tickets for Waitress in Leicester?

To get cheaper tickets, look at early-week performances instead of Friday and Saturday nights, consider matinee shows, choose seats further back or at the sides rather than premium central stalls, and try to book early before the lowest price bands sell out so you have more budget-friendly options to pick from.

Are there discounts or special offers available?

You may be able to save money with early-booking deals, group discounts if you buy several seats together, and occasional off-peak or midweek promotions, so it helps to compare different dates and performance times, use reputable ticket outlets, and avoid marked-up resale listings so you do not overpay for your tickets.
