Singer and songwriter Sara Bareilles is the musical talent behind this winning theatrical production that is still running both on Broadway and in London’s West End theater district. It tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and supernaturally talented pie-maker who is also pregnant and stuck in a bad marriage. Her salvation comes by way of a pie contest. Bareilles wrote the score of the musical and released her own version of the songs, which became a big hit back in 2015. The show runs for eight performances in six days through Dec. 22 at the Center for the Performing Arts.
