Hi all! I'm searching for one ticket for the premiere screening of Waitress at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 12th! I just learned that Sara Bareilles will be performing that evening, and now I'm kicking myself for not jumping on tickets sooner - it's all sold out now. I'm a Sara superfan and would love to take a ticket off your hands at face value if you can no longer use it! Feel free to DM me!!

If for any reason, someone has another single ticket they’re trying to sell I’m also looking!!

I just asked a friend who has extra festival tickets and his laughing cackle left a ringing in my right ear when I mentioned someone needs a single ticket at face value.

The premiere sold out in about 90 minutes, which was actually a lot slower than I was expecting.

Also looking for that night! I did read that the venue will be selling cancellation/rush tickets.

Rush is definitely my backup! I'm just a little scared of how early people will line up...

Same, but since it's a Monday I'm cautiously optimistic.

So, the TSX app to listen to the viewing in Times Square is allowing anyone to listen to the film, no matter where you are. It says you have to be in Times Square, but it works anyway.

Not familiar with this site, but I like the discussion of how the filming enhances the material.

The Sara Bareilles ‘Waitress’ Movie Makes You Wish You Saw the ‘Waitress’ Musical

“Waitress: The Musical: The Movie” is an admirable effort to bring Broadway to the masses. But there are so many missed opportunities for making it really sing.

This is such a mind-boggling review. It feels syntactically like it was written by a chatbot and the entire thing is about how the writer cannot fathom the idea of a filmed capture of a live performance.

Depends how quickly it finds a distributor. It could be a month, a few months, etc. Hulu picked up Brooke Shields’ documentary after it screened at Sundance and had it on their streaming platform in like 2 months.
