The hit Broadway musical has its West End premiere at the Adelphi Theatre.

I have to confess to craving a slice of humble-pie after watching Waitress, the latest big Broadway musical import, set in a Southern diner specialising in home-made pies.

Waitress opened on Broadway in the same 2015/16 season as Hamilton - so, hardly surprisingly, lost out in the Tony Awards race, including for best musical and best original score.

Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson's 2015 musical adaptation of Adrienne Shelly's film, about a small-town waitress who processes her feelings via her skillful baking, brings its sugar and spice concoction to the West End.

YOU’LL never look at a pie in the same way after watching US stage smash Waitress.

We can all attest to the rejuvenating qualities of a nice piece of pie, can’t we? When life is getting you down, the sugar rush provided by a generous slice can just melt those troubles away — OK, just me then.

The time has come, Waitress, the Broadway Musical has arrived in London. After attending a launch a few months back with composer Sara Bareilles, It was lovely to see her back in London to help get the show off the ground – especially as she has just finished another stint playing the lead character Jenna on the Broadway production of Waitress only days ago.

The Broadway musical 'Waitress' is set for it's West End debut - with many of the show's original casts members making the journey.
