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.

    Very enjoyable and great staging

    by Mo on 11/13/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    Though the plot is a bit weak, the music was great and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Not for young kids - 16 years old is about as young as I would go.

    Jordan Sparks was great! Enjoyable show with great music. Not fully sure why Al Roker is there, but the rest of the cast was great!

    Amazing talent

    by Lovemusicals on 11/12/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    The show was fantastic and cast brought their A game. My only concern is the woman’s bathroom issue. The line was so long that a lot of people missed the opening number. Maybe even the second scene. That should be corrected since I’m thinking this isn’t the first time this has happened.

    Go see this show!

    by Waitress fan on 11/11/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    It’s charming, it’s funny, it’s sad, it’s endearing. This is such a fun ride of a show! I’m a Sara Bareilles fan anyway, and her music in this show is so right on. The actors are also right on. If you haven’t seen this show, then make plans today to go see it before it closes for good!

    Laugh Out Loud

    by Kimberly B on 11/10/19Brooks Atkinson Theatre - New York

    I absolutely loved the show Waitress. I title my review, Laugh Out Loud, because I did that on several occasions as did the rest of the audience, however, there were other emotions involved as well. I have to admit, I was skeptical going in because I thought, how can there be a great show about this subject matter but they nailed it. The cast was perfect in every way. I would totally see this show again and highly recommend it.
