Waitress at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio
Waitress, the heartwarming Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, is coming to the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio for a limited four-performance run from April 9 through April 11, 2027. Based on the beloved 2007 film written by Adrienne Shelly, the musical tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a small-town waitress and extraordinary pie baker trapped in a loveless marriage, who discovers the courage to chart her own path through an unexpected pregnancy, a pie-baking contest, and a complicated new romance.
Bareilles's score is one of the most acclaimed of the 2010s Broadway era, featuring songs like "She Used to Be Mine," "What Bakes the Cake," "Bad Idea," "When He Sees Me," "Opening Up," and "Everything Changes." The music blends pop sensibility with theatrical storytelling in a way that feels intimate and authentic, giving Jenna's journey an emotional immediacy that has made audiences laugh, cry, and crave pie in equal measure. The book by Jessie Nelson captures the film's quirky charm and feminist spirit, and Diane Paulus's direction brings warmth and energy to every scene.
The Majestic Theatre (2,311 seats, 224 East Houston Street) is a 1929 National Historic Landmark in downtown San Antonio, steps from the River Walk and the Alamo. With only four performances over three days, this is one of the shortest engagements in the 2026–2027 Broadway in San Antonio season — tickets will move fast.
BigStub has verified resale tickets for every performance with no hidden fees, a buyer guarantee, and over 20 years of trusted service. Browse the listings above for great seats.
Waitress was groundbreaking as the first Broadway musical with an all-female creative team: Bareilles wrote the music, Nelson wrote the book, Paulus directed, and Lorin Latarro choreographed. The show ran for 1,544 performances on Broadway before closing in January 2020 and has since toured extensively. For San Antonio audiences, this April engagement brings one of Broadway's most beloved recent musicals to one of Texas's most beautiful theaters.
The show's themes of self-discovery, female empowerment, and the courage to leave a bad situation resonate with audiences of all backgrounds, and Bareilles's music has a warmth and accessibility that makes Waitress one of the most reliably crowd-pleasing shows on the touring circuit.
"She Used to Be Mine," the show's emotional centerpiece, has become one of the most streamed and covered Broadway songs of the past decade. Bareilles herself performed the role of Jenna on Broadway in 2017 and 2018, and the song's raw honesty about self-worth, identity, and the gap between who you are and who you wanted to be has made it an anthem for anyone who has ever felt stuck. Hearing it performed live in the intimate setting of the Majestic Theatre — a venue whose 2,311 seats and atmospheric design create a warmth that perfectly matches the show's tone — is an experience that hits differently than any recording.
The 2026–2027 Broadway in San Antonio season also includes Mrs. Doubtfire, Sound of Music, Beetlejuice, Buena Vista Social Club, Phantom of the Opera, Hell's Kitchen, Great Gatsby, Wicked, and Death Becomes Her. With only four performances, Waitress is the most limited engagement of the entire season. Don't wait — grab your slice of this sweet, funny, and deeply moving musical while you can.

Waitress: Broadway's Sweetest Musical
Waitress opened on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on April 24, 2016, and quickly became one of the most beloved musicals of its era. Based on Adrienne Shelly's 2007 indie film of the same name, the musical was groundbreaking as the first Broadway show with an all-female creative team in the four top positions: Sara Bareilles (music and lyrics), Jessie Nelson (book), Diane Paulus (direction), and Lorin Latarro (choreography). The show ran for 1,544 performances before closing in January 2020 and has since been licensed for productions around the world.
The story follows Jenna, a waitress and gifted pie baker in a small Southern town, who is trapped in an abusive marriage and discovers she is pregnant. As she navigates the pregnancy, an affair with her new doctor, and a pie-baking contest that could change her future, Jenna learns to value herself and find the strength to build the life she deserves. Her friends and fellow waitresses Becky and Dawn provide comic relief and emotional support, and the diner's eccentric owner Joe offers the wisdom and encouragement that Jenna needs at the moments she needs it most.
Bareilles's score is a masterwork of contemporary pop songwriting adapted for the theater. "Opening Up" sets the tone with its bustling, optimistic energy. "What Bakes the Cake" and "Bad Idea" are funny, catchy, and dramatically effective. "When He Sees Me" is a showstopping comic number about the terror of first dates. And "She Used to Be Mine," Jenna's Act Two ballad, is one of the most emotionally devastating songs written for the Broadway stage in the past two decades — a raw, honest meditation on identity, regret, and self-forgiveness that has been streamed hundreds of millions of times and covered by artists from Kelly Clarkson to Pentatonix.
The Majestic Theatre in San Antonio (2,311 seats, 224 East Houston Street) provides an intimate and beautiful setting for a show built on warmth, humor, and emotional honesty. The 1929 atmospheric theater's ornate design and excellent acoustics will showcase Bareilles's score beautifully, and the downtown location puts the show steps from the River Walk for pre-show dining.
The April 9–11, 2027 run is just four performances — the most limited engagement in the Broadway in San Antonio season. BigStub has verified resale tickets for every show with no hidden fees and a buyer guarantee. If you love Broadway, you love pie, or you just need a show that will make you laugh, cry, and leave feeling better about the world, Waitress delivers.
