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.

    Humor of a serious topic

    by CC on 11/5/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    The audience and I enjoyed the humor and singing about a topic that is viewed quite more serious now than when this was first written. It managed to get its point across to the masses but not in heavy handed way.

    Don’t wait to see Waitress!

    by Armcinn on 11/4/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    This show was great! There are so many shows to see in NYC. But this was recommend To me so I decided to go. Best decision! It was both funny and serious at times. The music was great too. Seeing Jordan Sparks and Al Roper in this one was an added treat. Speaking of treats, they sell delicious pies in an adorable glass jar. I highly recommend that you go see this show and get a pie while you’re at it. You won’t regret it.

    Pleasantly surprised with this play - Jordin Sparks ROCKED

    by Deb on 10/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    The Theatre itself was beautiful - not a bad seat in the house. Loved having "Pie in a Jar" before the play and during intermission. Very Clever! The talent on stage could not have been better - We have seen many plays and have been disappointed with several. However, this play did not disappoint! We LOVED it!

    What a surprise!

    by Glenn S. on 10/30/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    This play was surprisingly one of the best I've ever seen. In fact my wife and teenage daughters agree as well. I didn't know much about the show going in, nor did I even know it was based on a hokey movie from 2007 (which I watched as soon as I got home from the show!). Anyway, this is one of the many great shows that are closing soon so if you have an opportunity I suggest moving this to the top of your list. The story is about 3 women who work in a diner together and for the sake of not writing a spoiler I'll just say that this play has it all so expect the following: laughing so hard you may cry, getting emotional to perhaps tears, and walking out feeling great about how the story comes together at the end. The play we saw starred Jordin Sparks, the winner of season 7 of American Idol and she was fantastic in both her acting and singing. In fact, all the characters were so good you felt immersed in the story from the minute the play started. As I noted I really didn't expect much going in but walked out amazed.

    Waitress serves delight!

    by Myra Aa-E on 10/29/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Jordan Sparks was wonderful, supported by a talented cast. The actors playing Obie (tap-dancing, Revolutionary hilarity) and Joe (soulful singing with humor) were exceptional. The little girl who played her daughter just sparkled. Jordin Sparks showed her concern for her audience by signing autographs after the show, even though she was on “voice rest”...amazing!

    ABSOLUTE JOY AND FANTASTIC!

    by Brad on 10/29/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    My wife and I loved the original movie and hoped we would enjoy the theater. The cast surpassed our expectations. Every one was delightful, extremely strong performances and Jordin Sparks surprised us with her incredible acting skills. The singing was impressive. The supporting cast was equally up to the task. I urge anyone, looking to spend a delightful time, go see this play. With all of the big name events currently running, this production is just as powerful and fantastic.
