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

The music and lyrics are by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, with a book by Jessie Nelson and direction by Diane Paulus, creating a female-led creative team whose modern pop-influenced score and emotionally honest storytelling have made the show a much-loved hit internationally.

Where is Waitress performed in Dublin?

In May 2026, Waitress is performed at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, a large modern venue in Dublin’s Docklands area known for hosting major international tours, with a spacious auditorium and a wide range of seating from stalls near the stage to higher tiers.

Who is starring in the Dublin dates?

The Dublin dates on the 2026 tour are advertised as starring Carrie Hope Fletcher as Jenna, giving audiences the chance to see a well-known West End performer in the lead role during this week of performances, although casting always remains subject to change if needed.

What are the performance times in Dublin?

During the Dublin run, evening performances are scheduled for 7:30 pm from Tuesday to Saturday, with additional matinee shows at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so you can choose between afternoon and evening performances to suit your plans.

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 matinees) and plan your travel so you can arrive in good time and are not rushed when leaving the theatre.

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 Dublin?

To get cheaper tickets, look at midweek performances rather than Saturday evening, consider matinee shows, choose seats further back or to 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.

Are there discounts or special offers available?

You may save money with early-booking or presale offers, group discounts if you are booking several seats together, and occasional off-peak or midweek promotions, so it is a good idea to compare different dates and performance times and to keep an eye out for any announced deals on remaining seats so you can avoid overpaying.
