This is the best musical I’ve ever seen. Brilliant singing with sarah bareilles and also the other cast. Very Funny in parts and other stories apart from the main one about the main waitress. I was anxious about going with the coronavirus scare but my mood was lifted by the show and I’m so glad I went.

Visited the Adelphi Theatre last night to see Waitress, the musical. Starred Sara Bareilles in a limited run as Jenna, what a fantastic performance from her, and the rest of the ensemble. Such a mix of emotions generated by the story, and Sara's powerful words and music. It was so pleasing to hear the audience react to the performance, thank you to the whole cast, the band and everybody involved in this production.

Absolutely loved it. Cried and laughed the whole way through. This is my second time in one year seeing it but couldn’t not see Sara play the lead. Loved it even more the second time. Highly recommend this show!

I did enjoy this show very much as the very best was made out of a strange plot. I got raised eyebrows at home describing the main drift of the story from family but it all worked very well.

Didn’t know too much about this show, mainly went by the very good reviews. A group of 7 of us spent the weekend in London and took a chance on ‘Waitress’ - we certainly weren’t disappointed. It was an excellent show, superb singing, acting, dancing and, despite an dark side it was an uplifting story. Highly recommend it.

Don’t think i’ve ever been to a show with such an ovation in the middle of the performance. The buzz and atmosphere was fabulous & is explained by the teriffic performances of all those on stage last night, lead by the brilliant Sarah Bareilles and Gavin Creel. A most enjoyable evening. Recommend this musical highly.

Such a great evening's entertainment! Didnt know what to expect as I purposefully didn't preview songs etc. The music was refreshingly different from other musicals with amazing piano grounding the lyrics. Contemporary ensemble movement was not at all out of place and made the overall feel very modern. Character relationships were really strong and there were fabulously funny comedic scenes. With vocals that seemed natural each song shifted expectations. Heartfelt performances from a small but hugely impressive ensemble cast and musicians! Woukd happily see it again (and again!)

Can't review the the show as it was cancelled, which as a whole was very disappointing. I feel the management dealt with the cancellation badly (we were told when we were all sat down ready to view the show) having let everyone take advantage of the bar etc (they knew what they were doing)! I don't believe we will be refunded for travel - just the ticket (still awaiting my refund)! Epic fail.
