Event description

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker dreaming of a better life.

Suffocated by both the small Southern town where she lives and her controlling husband Earl, Jenna longs for escape. Her only solace comes from working in the local diner, where she can practice her passion for baking. Jenna’s crumbly pastries and crinkly crusts are renowned the town over, and by a stroke of luck, they might just offer her an escape route!

The sweetest musical treat returns, bringing its delicious confection of peppy songs, romance, and dramedy to the UK on this extra special 10th anniversary tour! Adapted by Jessie Nelson from the beloved 2007 indie film by Adrienne Shelly and with an all-female creative team led by a swelling score from singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, it’s a life-affirming feel-good hit – the perfect thing to chase the cobwebs away.
