Waitress

Step into a world of friendship, ambition, love, and second chances when Waitress comes to San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 7:30 PM PT. This beloved musical combines an engaging story, memorable characters, heartfelt moments, and an irresistible score for an evening of live theater that celebrates finding the courage to imagine something more.

Inspired by the 2007 film, Waitress follows Jenna, a talented pie maker and waitress who dreams of a life beyond the limitations of her everyday circumstances. Her creativity finds expression through the pies she makes, each one reflecting her hopes, frustrations, and experiences. As Jenna navigates relationships, friendship, work, and unexpected possibilities, she begins to discover that changing her life may require taking a chance on herself.

The musical is especially known for its original songs by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, whose music gives the production its distinctive emotional character. From upbeat numbers filled with personality to more intimate songs that explore vulnerability and hope, the score helps bring the story’s characters and relationships to life on stage.

At the center of the experience is the warmth of live musical theater: expressive performances, choreography, staging, storytelling, and music coming together in real time. Audiences can expect a production that balances humor with emotional depth while exploring themes of friendship, resilience, independence, and the possibility of a fresh start.

The performance takes place at the historic Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, offering a classic theatrical setting for an evening of Broadway-style entertainment. With the curtain scheduled to rise at 7:30 PM PT, attendees can make plans to arrive early, find their seats, and enjoy the atmosphere before the performance begins.
