I was struck by how high the prices are for Waitress now that Sara Bareilles is back. The "regular" orchestra tickets are $229, but premium are $552 on weekdays and $600 on weekends. I think this is only the fourth show to break the $500 mark for premiums or the $200 mark for regular seats (Hamilton, Hello Dolly and Springsteen being the others), but unfortunately, it's just a matter of time before this pricing becomes common for the hits.
I was kind of interested in seeing Bareilles, but I'm probably going to sit this one out given the pricing.
