Waitress

Spend your Saturday evening at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre with Waitress, a contemporary musical that blends heartfelt storytelling, humor, memorable characters, and an expressive original score. The performance takes place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 7:30 PM PT, offering audiences an opportunity to experience this engaging story of friendship, personal ambition, relationships, and finding the courage to make a change.

Inspired by the 2007 film, Waitress follows Jenna, a talented pie maker and waitress whose creativity provides an outlet for the emotions and challenges of her everyday life. As she navigates work, relationships, friendship, and unexpected possibilities, Jenna begins to consider what she wants from her future and whether she can create a life on her own terms.

The musical’s score was written by Sara Bareilles, whose songs help shape the emotional journey of the characters. The production moves between lively, humorous moments and more intimate scenes, using music and storytelling to explore themes of friendship, independence, hope, and self-discovery. The result is a theatrical experience that combines the warmth of a character-driven story with the energy of a live musical performance.

The Orpheum Theatre provides a historic San Francisco setting for the production, giving audiences a traditional theater environment in which to enjoy the staging, performances, choreography, and music. A Saturday evening performance also offers an opportunity to make the show part of a full night out in the city.
