Currently playing its third year on Broadway, Waitress will begin performances at the West End’s Adelphi Theatre in February, officially opening on 7 March.
The show recently announced plans for its first “Cast Album Karaoke” nights in London, which will see theatre lovers offered the opportunity to perform songs from the show on the West End stage, accompanied by musical director Katharine Woolley.
Waitress tells the story, an expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and turbulent marriage – and whose dreams may just be about to come true.
