Bareilles said: “I am so excited to be using my passport in the New Year because I am coming to the West End to play Jenna in Waitress The Musical.
“I am coming to London and I am bringing one of my very best friends, Mr Gavin Creel who you would know from the original cast of the Book Of Mormon.
“We’re going to join the cast of Waitress at the Adelphi Theatre starting January 27th for six weeks only so get your tickets and come and see us down at the diner.”
Waitress tells the story of Jenna a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage.
