A magical night.
Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York
I loved it! The performance was unbelievable! The service was excellent, from the guards to the women who guided us to our places, everyone was very nice. It was a magical night for me, I got to see Jordin Sparks as Jenna and she did an amazing job. It has been an unforgettable night for me. There's nothing to dislike, it was outstanding!

Understudy rose to the occasion
Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York
Show was even better than expected. It wasn't on my top see list, but my son really wanted to see it so we were glad we got to see it before it left Broadway. We were VERY disappointed that we had the understudy. One of the reasons we made sure to get to the show before it closed was to see Katharine McPhee. But, we were VERY pleasantly surprised at how amazing the understudy performed. She even received a standing ovation.

No McPhee

Great show but obviously though McPhee would have played the role better than her understudy for the performance we went to.

Great Play/Great Playhouse
Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York
The play was awesome. The cast was incredible and the singing was amazing. The Brooks Atkinson was quaint and our seats in the Mezzanine were still fantastic. We had a great time!! My fiancée even met Katharine McPhee outside the theatre!!

So good! The cast was so exceptionally talented and performed one of the best shows I have ever seen! Furthermore, the workers were very efficient at their jobs in ushering and scanning tickets. Really enjoyed the experience :)

Exquisitely Emotional!!!
Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York
I was touched and moved in so many ways throughout the entire performance. The set, the music, the choreography, the way the band played right on stage was so awesome, and how they moved from one scene to the next was amazing. Truly a spectacular show!! So sorry it had to close on Broadway. But so blessed to have seen it at all. Happy Trails WAITRESS!

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as "The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie" and "Betrayed By My Eggs Pie." When a baking contest in a nearby county - and a satisfying encounter with someone new - shows Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
Brought to life by a groundbreaking, all-female creative team, this Tony Award-nominated hit features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles ("Love Song," "Brave"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam) and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Pippin, Finding Neverland).
