Waitress – Stage musical

Rent or buy

The Broadway musical Waitress is now available to rent and buy across a variety of streaming platforms for the many UK fans of the show. Based on the film of the same name, it follows a young waitress in a diner who dreams of leaving her job and forging a life of her own.

Filmed at New York’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2021, where the show made its home temporarily post-pandemic, the cast was led by the hit musical’s creator Sara Bareilles as Jenna, alongside Drew Gehling as Dr Pomatter, Charity Angél Dawson as Becky, Caitlin Houlahan as Dawn. Waitress has a book by Jessie Nelson, direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus and choreography by Lorin Latarro.

It had its UK premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in 2019, the sold-out run prematurely truncated when lockdowns closed theatres although there was a tour in 2021, visiting locations nationwide.

This is not the movie but a film of the Broadway stage musical. It was first shown in UK cinemas earlier this year and is now available more widely across a variety of streaming platforms as well as DVDs and Blu-Rays. It is not yet available in the US.

Available to rent in HD for £3.49 or buy for £11.99. Rentals include 30 days to start watching this video and 48 hours to finish once started.
