Waitress at the Hollywood Pantages, April 2027

Waitress is the hit Broadway musical about Jenna, a small-town pie maker who bakes her way toward a fresh start. From April 20 to 25, 2027, the 10th anniversary tour stops at the Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. If you keep a running list of things to do in Los Angeles that go beyond the usual, a night of pie, heartache and big laughs deserves a spot on it.

When: April 20 to 25, 2027 (opening night Tuesday, April 20 at 7:30 PM) Where: Pantages Theatre, Hollywood Presented by: Broadway in Hollywood

What to expect

Jenna dreams of a way out of her small town and a rocky marriage. She pours herself into her pies, and the presenter says the desserts mirror her topsy-turvy life, with names like "The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie" and "Betrayed By My Eggs Pie." A baking contest in a nearby county, plus a satisfying encounter with someone new, shows her a chance to change course, if she can find the nerve.

The score comes from Grammy winner Sara Bareilles, the singer behind "Brave" and "Love Song." The book is by Jessie Nelson, with original direction by Diane Paulus and original choreography by Lorin Latarro. Samantha Lane Scruggs plays Jenna Hunterson in the tour company. The show runs 2 hours and 30 minutes including intermission, so plan a full evening.

Tickets and practical info

Broadway in Hollywood lists this engagement with a note that tickets are available only with a MINI Package. Check the official page for current options, along with first-performance and VIP packages, and accessible performances. No price is published on the listing, so confirm costs with the box office rather than a reseller. Everyone entering the theatre, regardless of age, needs a ticket. Showtimes after opening night vary, and the posted window ends with an evening performance on Sunday, April 25.

Getting there

The Pantages sits a short walk from the Hollywood/Vine Metro B Line station, which spares you the parking hunt on a show night. If you drive, read the venue's parking page ahead of time and leave extra time before curtain. Dinner nearby on Hollywood Boulevard or Vine Street makes an easy pre-show plan.
