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 — show 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 creative team, this hilarious hit Broadway
musical features original music and lyrics by Grammy® Award winner Sara Bareilles
("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam),
original choreography by Lorin Latarro (Mrs. Doubtfire, Chess) and original direction by
Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (1776, Jagged Little Pill, Pippin).
Tickets start at $48.50.
