Further casting has been confirmed for the new tour of Waitress. 

Featuring songs from composer-lyricist Sara Bareilles, and a book by Jessie Nelson, the musical follows Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker in a small town and a loveless marriage.

When a baking contest offers her a chance at escape, Jenna fights to reclaim a long-forgotten part of herself. With support from her fellow waitresses and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to pursue her dreams. It is based on a film of the same name by Adrienne Shelly.

The show has enjoyed runs worldwide, including on Broadway, in the West End, and on previous tours.

Multi-WhatsOnStage Award winner Carrie Hope Fletcher will take on the lead role of Jenna for a limited run when the musical travels across the UK next year, joined by Evelyn Hoskins, reprising her role as Dawn, with Sandra Marvin also returning as Becky. Les Dennis will join the tour as Joe.

Fletcher is scheduled to appear in Wimbledon, Brighton, Bradford, Woking, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Cardiff and Southend. Marvin will be appearing until 29 June.
