Waitress

Spend your Sunday evening at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre with Waitress, a contemporary musical that brings together heartfelt storytelling, humor, memorable characters, and music by acclaimed singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. The performance is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 6:30 PM PT, offering audiences a chance to close out the weekend with an engaging live theater experience.

Inspired by the 2007 film, Waitress follows Jenna, a talented pie maker and waitress whose creativity provides an outlet for the challenges and emotions of her everyday life. Working at a small-town diner, Jenna begins to question whether the life she has built is the one she truly wants. As new circumstances and relationships enter her world, she finds herself considering the possibilities that come with making a change.

The musical explores themes of friendship, love, independence, resilience, and self-discovery while balancing emotional moments with plenty of humor. Sara Bareilles’ original score plays an important role in telling Jenna’s story, with songs that capture the characters’ hopes, frustrations, relationships, and dreams. Live performances, choreography, dialogue, and staging come together to create a production that feels both intimate and energetic.

The Orpheum Theatre provides a classic San Francisco setting for the performance, giving theatergoers the opportunity to experience Waitress in a traditional theatrical environment. The 6:30 PM start time makes this evening performance a natural choice for a Sunday night outing, whether you are attending with friends, family, or fellow musical theater fans.
