Waitress the Musical Now Available on DVD and Blu-Ray

Bleecker Street Media's home entertainment division, Decal, handles the release of both the digital and physical distributions of the musical following the film's limited cinema release last month through Fathom Events. Pre-orders for the DVD & Blu-Ray are now live.

The distribution rights for "Waitress: the Musical" were sold to Bleecker Street Media early last year, who then collaborated with Fathom to bring the musical to cinemas across the US for an extended engagement.

In addition to the physical release, Waitress will be released digitally later this month in the U.S. through popular streaming vendors such as Amazon Prime Video. Bleecker handles the digital distribution.

Decal, an entertainment distribution company and the distribution arm of Bleecker Street and NEON films will release Waitress on DVD & Blu-Ray on February 6th, 2024. The film will also debut on streaming services through Decal towards the end of January.

The DVD will have an MSRP of $24.99, with the Blu-Ray retailing for $27.99. Both releases will be manufactured on demand and are classified region-free. The Blu-Ray will be released in the BD-R format, which will play in nearly all leading Blu-ray players, except for Microsoft Xbox One which does not currently support BD-R playback.

Both releases will feature a Dolby Digital 5.1 track with an aspect ratio of 1.85. The runtime for both the DVD and Blu-Ray is 144 minutes. No special features have been announced for either release.

The musical was captured live through a partnership between "Waitress Broadway Inc." in association with STEAM Motion & Sound, known for their other filmed productions - The Prince of Egypt, Newsies, The Phantom of the Opera, Kinky Boots, and many more. Upcoming releases from STEAM include Bonnie and Clyde the Musical starring Jeremy Jordan and Aladdin: The Broadway Musical.

Waitress: Filmed Live on Broadway brings the Tony-nominated, Broadway phenomenon to the big screen. Featuring composer-lyricist Sara Bareilles as Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna fights to reclaim a long-forgotten part of herself.

Through the support of her fellow waitresses and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take a long-abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, the family we choose, and the beauty of a well-baked pie.

The musical opened on Broadway in April 2016, received Grammy nominations, and had a successful run until January 2020. After the Broadway shutdown due to the pandemic, it was revived at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in September 2021, with Bareilles taking on the lead role. The filmed version of the musical was produced during this limited engagement and will be showcased at the Tribeca Film Festival."
