This is not Harrison’s first foray into the West End.
The 33-year-old appeared in Step 9 (of 12) at Trafalgar Studios and more recently took the lead role of Michael in The End Of The Pier at the Park theatre.
He joins The Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts who was also announced as a new cast member earlier this month.
Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Roberts will play Dawn, one of three waitresses in the production.
Former X Factor contestant Lucie Jones is also part of the new cast. She will play Jenna, another of the waitresses.
Sara Bareilles’ Waitress opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End earlier this year.
