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 run-in 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. Featuring music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles, this hit musical is a little slice of Broadway heaven.

The stunning all-Gershwin, tap-dancing extravaganza, riotously entertaining, and Tony Award-winning Best Musical. New York banker Bobby Child is sent to Nevada to foreclose on a rundown theater when he falls for spunky Polly Baker, the owner’s daughter. Her instant dislike of the city slicker challenges Bobby – through cunning, razzmatazz, and mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theater. This high-stepping musical includes a treasure trove of George and Ira Gershwin’s most beloved songs including “I Got Rhythm,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

In the perpetual twilight of a Nordic summer, lovers waltz in and out of each other’s lives with possibility, second chances, and endless surprises.
