WAITRESS and THE BOOK OF MORMON to Return to Broadway in Chicago
Returning engagements of the hit musicals will play the James M. Nederlander Theatre and Cadillac Palace Theatre this October.
Broadway In Chicago will present the return of two musicals this fall, as Waitress and The Book of Mormon take the stage for limited engagements. The productions will play the James M. Nederlander Theatre and the Cadillac Palace Theatre.
WAITRESS
October 13 – October 18, 2026
James M. Nederlander Theatre, 24 W. Randolph St.
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 — 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.
Brought to life by a groundbreaking creative team, this hilarious hit Broadway musical features original music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), original choreography by Lorin Latarro (Mrs. Doubtfire, Chess) and original direction by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (1776, Jagged Little Pill, Pippin).
THE BOOK OF MORMON
October 23 – November 1, 2026
Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph St.
