Broadway at the Hobby Center Brings Two Musicals to Enjoy in January

The BOOK OF MORMON:  January 15-20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mischer Neurosciences Broadway at the Hobby Center for brief run at The Hobby Center

THE BOOK OF MORMON, a  9-time Tony Award®-winning BEST MUSICAL, is an outrageous musical comedy that follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word.

It’s been deemed as the “best musical of the century” by The New York Times with a “Grade A: the funniest musical of all time” remark by Entertainment Weekly.

Now with standing room only productions in Australia, London, on Broadway, and across North America, THE BOOK OF MORMON has truly become an international sensation. Contains explicit language.

WAITRESS:   January 29-February 3 to appear at the Mischer Neurosciences Broadway at the Hobby Center as part of National Tour

Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, this irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy® nominee Sara Bareilles (“Brave,” “Love Song”), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), choreography by Lorin Latarro (Les Dangereuse Liasons, Waiting for Godot) and direction by Tony Award®-winner Diane Paulus (Hair, Pippin, Finding Neverland).

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 encounter with someone new — shows 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.
