“A little slice of heaven” – Entertainment Weekly

At Joe’s Pie Diner, Jenna is a small-town waitress who puts her passion into incredible pie-baking. When she finds herself pregnant in a dead-end relationship with her no-good husband and falling fast for her quirky new OB/GYN, she realizes she must address her life, and find her true self in a world that has been passing her by.
 
When a pie-making contest is announced in a nearby county, she sees the opportunity for a fresh start. But forging a path isn’t as simple as mixing the ingredients for one of her signature pies. With the support of her fellow waitresses, and one curmudgeonly regular, Jenna finds the strength to pursue a long-abandoned dream. Hilarious and heartfelt, with gorgeous original music and lyrics by Grammy Award-winning Sara Bareilles, this Broadway hit musical serves up more than delicious pie.
