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."

Great show! Enjoyed a perfect day with my girls. Husband even liked it
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!
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.
Super funny, and the music and vocals (we saw Jordin sparks as lead) are amazing! Loved it!!
Attended show 11.9/19 and it far exceeded what I expected. Extremely funny yet touching story line. Would see it again in a heartbeat.
This show surpassed expectations. It was heartfelt and hysterical at the same time. The cast was in point and the role changes were perfect!! Love it
The event couldn’t have gone better than it did! It was absolutely fabulous, and an experience I will never forget! The story, the cast, and the songs were all remarkable. My daughter and I had the biggest smiles on our faces the entire time! Truly fantastic.
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!
Very funny. I would see it again !! Get tickets before it ends!!!
Enjoyed a great evening with my daughter. She knew all about this musical before we got there. It was her dream to see that show and she was not disappointed. And I was pleasantly surprised! Unforgettable evening for both of us!
Awesome! That was my last night in NYC at this show made it absolutely fantastic! Recommended!
Fabulous evening out for my daughter and I. Jordan Sparks was fantastic!
Great storey, great vocals. I loved it! So many wonderful characters, so so so so so funny! Highly recommend!
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.
The show was great! Jordan Sparks can sing! We had front Row mezzanine seats and the view was amazing! Found discount coupon code for 50% off.
Music is amazing, all the feels. Plus the entire theater smells like pie!
So entertaining! Good story line! Great singing!!
Waitress was heartfelt, empowering, happy and sad and totally worth seeing!! Jordin Sparks and Al Roker were incredible! Can't say enough good things about this play--just go see it before it's gone!
The actors, songs, and storyline come together into a enjoyable two hours. You will love it!
