An interwoven love story, this modern musical takes a devastatingly honest look at one couple’s journey falling in and out of love. Through clever storytelling and sharp lyrics, Jason Robert Brown’s cult favorite gives us a raw and intimate window into two souls and two perspectives of one relationship. Jamie, a moth drawn to Cathy’s flame, finds instant success as an author. Cathy, head over heels for Jamie, burns out as a discouraged actor. Joy and heartbreak go hand in hand as one races towards the future and the other reaches back to the past.

Sara Bareilles’s pop-rock musical is filled with scrumptious pie — so much pie — and is one of the most famous musicals from the past decade. It’s a story of friendship, chosen family, and embracing love from unexpected places. Jenna dreams of leaving behind a life she didn’t imagine for herself, and the announcement of a baking contest could be her ticket out. Supported by her best friends, Jenna chooses to open her heart to the messier parts of life, which certainly don’t come with a recipe.
