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.

Hilarious, entertaining, packed with talent, some tugs at your heartstrings. Definitely recommend.
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.
Such a great show and amazing cast ! Jordin Sparks voice topped the brown golden crust on the pie. ❤️
The play was great, the cast was AWESOME. Jordan Sparks is an amazing singer and Sl Roker did a fantastic job..The Brooks Atkinson theatre was in the best location from restaurants and hotels we were able to walk.
Waitress was a truly remarkable Broadway musical of the highest order and quality. The acting was inspiring and the storyline was great to follow. The songs were well produced and the full production was well directed.
It was a great show. My daughter & I loved it. Would definitely go see it again before it closes January 5th!
Went to the show with 3 girlfriends and we all just loved it! Jordan Sparks was absolutely terrific and we loved Al Roker. Everyone else was great, too.
Really great show. Amazing singers. I’d watch it over and over
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.
The perfect mix of funny, witty, romantic, engaging and theatrical. Songs were stuck in our heads after leaving they were so catchy and well performed. I absolutely loved this musical.
Jordon sparks was terrific as well as the entire crew! Lots of energy, emotion, and laughter to entertain the audience. Highly recommended!
Entire cast was phenomenal! Jordin Sparks was perfect! I cried when she sang She used to be mine.. Just a wonderful show!
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!
From the minute I stepped into the theater and smell the aroma of the delicious pie I knew the show was going to be a winner! Every single cast member was perfect for their part! Jordin Sparks blew me away with her triple talent… Singing dancing and acting! I highly recommend this show !!! you will come away smiling and full of joy! Sara Bareilles didn’t amazing job with the music!
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.
Jordan Sparks was fantastic. The whole show was was wonderful. Good music, meaningful drama and some of the biggest laughs I have ever had!!
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!
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.
A great show. Jordan Sparks and the cast was wonderful. It shouldn't close.
Show was great. Had a wonderfully time ,laughed till my stomach hurt.
