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.

    It was just ok

    by Leslie on 11/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    I wish i could say I loved the show but it was missing something. The music was good. The singing incredible. It had its funny moments. But it wasn't as amazing as i was expecting. I did enjoy the second half better than the first.

    Amazing!!!!

    by Runl on 11/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    I have seen this show before and it such a wonderful show! So sad to see it close! If you haven't seen it, you need to before it is gone! The entire cast, both times, did an amazing job! As you can imagine, Katherine McPhee, was extraordinary! I was so happy that I got to see her in this role.

    Amazing

    by Roselle on 11/29/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary since he knows I really love musicals. Even he, a person who doesn't really do musicals, was impressed with the whole experience. Katherine McPhee is a doll, the rest of the cast was awesome, and the set was beautifully done and choreographed.

    Adorable show

    by S. H. on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    I just loved this show. Jordin Sparks was fantastic as was the rest of the cast. It is so touching and emotional and also very funny in parts. You leave the theater with a big smile on your face.

    Fun times

    by Marge on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    We really enjoyed the show. Jordin Sparks was fantastic! We were disappointed that Al Roker wasn’t in it that night, as it said he would perform on Saturday night, 11/24. The show is funny and the singing was great. Not much dancing. The sets were very good.

    Great show

    by DianeB on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Waitress was the best show I have seen in a while. It was energetic and the music was incredible. I was lucky to have experienced Jordan Sparks in her last performance. Incredible.

    Great show! Prefer paper tickets

    by KMom on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Awesome show - funny, touching, great music, enjoyable! Mobile-only tickets were a challenge since my iphone didn't have the ios sufficient to load the ticketmaster app. Had to use my daughter's iphone to bring up the tickets.

    by J. M. on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Jordin Sparks is great and the rest of the cast as well. Funny, sad, thought provoking all in one show. Would definitely recommend. You won’t be disappointed! Great, small theatre so most seats good.

    5* show but uncomfortable experience

    by TeeCee on 11/27/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    As far as Waitress goes, it is a brilliant show, one of the best I've ever seen. The whole cast was fantastic, and to catch Jordin Sparks on her last night was a privilege. You must see it. As far as the theatre goes, I think people should be told when they are being wedged into seats. My husband is 6ft tall and spent the enter time with his legs pushed over to the side. I'm 5ft 4 and my knees were wedged up against a wall. It is not a theatre for anyone over about 4ft 10 I reckon! Drinks are crazy expensive ($18 for one measure of gin!) but having said all that it was one of the highlights of our trip to NYC.

    Charity event made it extra special!

    by L. W. on 11/26/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    We didn't realize it when we bought the tickets, but we happen to go on a "Broadway Gives Back" day where the shows were doing special promotions to raise funds for their charitable causes. At Waitress, Jordin Sparks took pictures with people for $10 each to raise funds for the cause! My teen was absolutely thrilled! It was a great bonus on top of a fabulous show.

    Funny Musical

    by Slynn on 11/26/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    The waitress was funny throughout the entire show. The music was great and the cast was amazing. The storyline was empowering and inspiring. Jordan Sparks voice is amazing. I also really liked one of the characters named Olgie he was hilarious his scenes stole the show. I would highly recommend seeing the waitress before it closes.

    I can't believe this is ending. I saw it twice. It is fantastic. The story line and music is entertaining. I would recommend this for any adult to see.

    Not good

    by Bobbie on 11/26/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Very slow for an hour but before intermission great song and dance man was very entertaining. Our seats were horrible in terms of comfort and one of our friends who is 6’4 had to stand thus we left at intermission. Weeks before the show they were selling tickets at $10 per seat should have known the play was in trouble.
