Waitress

November 23-28, 2021

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 all-female 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 ("Les Liaisons Dangereuses," "Waiting For Godot"), recreated by tour choreographer Abbey O’Brien and original direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus ("Hair," "Pippin"), recreated by tour director Susanna Wolk. 

“'Waitress' is a little slice of heaven!” says Entertainment Weekly, and is “sweet, sassy and passionate,” according to New York Magazine. 

"It's an empowering musical of the highest order!" raves the Chicago Tribune. Don't miss this uplifting and hilarious musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.

The Prom

December 28, 2021 - January 2, 2022

Everyone’s invited to the joyous Broadway hit that New York Magazine hails as “smart and big-hearted” while The New York Times declares it “makes you believe in musical comedy again!” "The Prom" is a musical comedy about big Broadway stars on a mission to change the world and the love they discover that unites them all. 

Variety raves, “It’s so full of happiness that you think your heart is about to burst.” And The Hollywood Reporter cheers, “It’s comic gold!” 

"The Prom" features direction and choreography by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw ("Mean Girls," "The Book of Mormon"), a book by Tony Award winner Bob Martin ("The Drowsy Chaperone") and Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin ("Aladdin"), music by Tony Award nominee Matthew Sklar ("Elf") and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin.

Everyone deserves a chance to celebrate!
