About

Please note that Al Roker will not perform on Saturday 2pm Matinees or Sunday 7pm Evenings, or on Saturday November 23 8pm evening. He will perform in both shows (2pm & 7pm) on Sunday November 24.

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).

"Waitress is a little slice of heaven!" says Entertainment Weekly, and is "sweet, sassy and passionate," according to New York Magazine. Don't miss this uplifting and hilarious musical.

    Amazing show

    by nat de Montréal on 1/5/20Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    We loved Waitress- the story of the power of friendship, believing in yourself, shedding past strife, and believing in the possibility of a happier future. The musical showcased strong vocal performances and simple set designs that didn’t detract the audience from the story and characters. Lovely time!

    This is a masterpiece!

    by S. I. on 1/4/20Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    The musical was great, each and every actor on the cast played perfectly their role. The musical was funny, touching and deals with everyday issue. Loved the girl empowerment (though it was predicted). It was really good!

    Outstanding

    by Nelle on 12/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    What a great show! My 30-Something children loved it, and so did I. Incredible performances that injected humor, understanding, betrayal, and unrequited love. I am sad to see it leaving Broadway!

    The Best!!

    by Newbie Theatergoer on 12/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    I've only seen about half a dozen shows on Broadway, but this one was EASILY the best one in terms of greatness based on the actors' performances (vs. special effects, lighting, show name cache, etc.) Katherine McPhee's voice, in particular, was amazing, and the dialogue was hilariously entertaining. Get there before it closes if you can!!!

    So surprised

    by Travel mama on 12/25/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    We were anticipating the show for weeks, expecting to see Katherine McPhee as Jenna, but her understudy was cast as Jenna the evening we had booked the show with no notification until we were seated. The show was wonderful, BUT, we were still SO disappointed to not see Katherine perform.

    Fantastic

    by Rachel on 12/22/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Waitress is the most beautiful show. The cast is phenomenal, the songs are beautifully written, and the story is heartwarming. It’s a show that will make you laugh, but it will also make you cry. Go visit the diner before January 5th! You won’t regret it.

    Perfect

    by z on 12/22/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Waitress has been my favorite show I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to around 10 touring productions of various shows of differing quality. This has by far been the best show. The actors had the audience laughing throughout the whole show and later crying. Stephanie Torns is immaculate. Not a single butchered note. Some characters were too played up to get laughs, but it was still an incredibly amazing show.

    Awesome show

    by Runl on 12/20/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    This was the third time i saw it. Two of those in the last 3 weeks, with Katherine McPhee starring. This show is such a great show and wonderfully performed by the entire cast! If you get a chance to see it before it closes, you definitely should!

    Phenomenal

    by Westchester NY on 12/20/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Katharine McPhee was superb. One of my favorite shows. Topping off the night was seeing Sarah Barellis and Jason Mraz host the kareoke after the show. Incredible talent and incredible fun evening. Sorry to see it close.
