Frequently Asked Questions

When is Waitress playing in Eastbourne in 2026?

Waitress is at the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, from Monday 14 September to Saturday 19 September 2026, for a one-week stop on the 2026 UK and Ireland tour.

What is Waitress about?

Waitress follows Jenna, a small-town waitress and expert pie-maker stuck in an unhappy and controlling marriage, who discovers she is pregnant and dreams of a better life, seeing a lucrative pie contest and a growing connection with her new doctor as possible ways to 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 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 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 turn the show into a much-loved hit in New York, London, and on tour.

Where is Waitress performed in Eastbourne?

In September 2026, Waitress is performed at the Congress Theatre, part of Eastbourne Theatres, a large modern venue near the seafront that hosts major touring musicals and offers a range of seating from stalls near the stage to circle and balcony seats with wide views.

Who is starring in the Eastbourne dates?

For the Eastbourne week, the tour information states that casting for the role of Jenna is still to be announced, so unlike some earlier venues where Carrie Hope Fletcher is confirmed, the specific lead casting for Congress Theatre is to be confirmed nearer the time.

What are the performance times in Eastbourne?

During the Congress Theatre run, evening performances are scheduled from Monday to Saturday, typically at 7:30 pm, with at least one matinee performance 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 usually 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 Eastbourne?

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 lower price bands are still available when you select 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 via Eastbourne Theatres and official ticket partners, so it helps to compare different dates and performance times and avoid marked-up resale listings so you do not overpay for your tickets.
