Frequently Asked Questions

When is Waitress playing in Liverpool in 2026?

Waitress is at the Liverpool Empire Theatre from Monday 7 September to Saturday 12 September 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 a hot new doctor arrives in town and she discovers she is pregnant, a lucrative pie contest and the support of her friends Becky and Dawn give her hope that she can 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 strong bond between the three waitresses as a warm and moving way to show how she processes her emotions and gradually finds the strength to stand up for herself.

Has Waitress received any major awards or nominations?

Waitress has earned 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 Tony Award winner Diane Paulus, forming a female-led creative team whose contemporary pop-influenced score and emotionally honest storytelling helped the show become a much-loved hit in New York, London, and on tour.

Where is Waitress performed in Liverpool?

In September 2026, Waitress is performed at the Liverpool Empire Theatre on Lime Street, a large city-centre venue that regularly hosts major touring West End musicals and offers a range of seating from stalls close to the stage to circle and balcony levels with broad views of the auditorium.

Who is starring in the Liverpool dates?

The Liverpool run is advertised as starring Carrie Hope Fletcher as Jenna, giving local audiences the chance to see a popular West End performer in the lead role during this week of performances, although all casting is always subject to change if illness or other circumstances arise.

What are the performance times in Liverpool?

During the Liverpool Empire run, evening performances are at 7:30 pm from Monday to Saturday, with at least one matinee performance, typically on a midweek or Saturday afternoon, so you can choose 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 it is generally recommended for teenagers and adults, with parental guidance advised and it not being ideal for younger children.

How can I get cheaper tickets for Waitress in Liverpool?

To get cheaper tickets, look at early-week performances instead of Friday and Saturday nights, consider any matinee shows if you are flexible on time, choose seats further back or towards the sides rather than premium central stalls, and try to book early so the lowest price bands are still available when you pick your seats.

Are there discounts or special offers available?

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