About the Show

The York Theatre Company presents the New York premiere of this musical that starts off in 1957 Illinois as four female friends enter a Betty Crocker cooking contest with life-altering results.

Little do these women know that the contest is a recipe for disaster, one that will set off a chain reaction that will change their lives forever. When they reunite ten years later, they are very different people in a very different world—but can they still be as close as they once were? In an age when the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, they'll discover that the way to a woman's heart is through her best friends.

Funny, Entertaining, Charming, Terrific performers, Relevant

See it if you lived through the 50s-60s, and/or have an interest in the birth of feminism; enjoy a terrific all-female production from "soup to nuts"

Don't see it if you have zero interest in women's issues, can't appreciate fun, lightweight but engaging musical theater with a live band & great singers

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Great singing

See it if 4 talented women whose friendship centers around the weekly cooking club, who find their strengths and growth during a 10-yr. separation.

Don't see it if Do not like dated shows centering upon women's friendships, separations from each other and their growth. Read more

Nostalgic, Entertaining, Great acting, Great staging, Great singing

See it if A picture postcard of women's lives in the 1950's and the late 1960's. Wonderful costumes, hairdos and set design !

Don't see it if You are looking for a deep and or serious show. This is most definitely NOT that ! If you don't enjoy sashaying down memory lane !

Great set design, Funny, Heartwarming, Clever, Thought-provoking

See it if you want a progressive, issues-based show that's peppy, colorful, & fun (especially wrenching if you're still recovering from the election).

Don't see it if you're expecting a more serious treatment of women's empowerment and race relations, or truly three-dimensional characters and plot.

Clever, Funny, Delightful

See it if you'll enjoy a fun and perceptive view of women's available life choices in the 50s & 60s. Great cast, great band, great time!

Don't see it if you don't want women to have choices. All choices are respected, but you have to want to root for all women. Hey, even the band is all women

Chic show, Happy, Great staging, Historically interesting, Estrogen heavy

See it if you want to see something about the early days of feminism that's not preachy or boring.

Don't see it if Too much estrogen on stage makes you itch. Read more

Clever, Delightful, Great singing, Fun

See it if Want good time at a very enjoyable light show. Particularly good if you remember the 1950s at all.

Don't see it if Want serious theater.

Great singing, Entertaining, Thought-provoking, Delightful, Funny

See it if If you enjoy fun, light drama musicals and enjoy the music era of the 50s and 60s.

Don't see it if Don't enjoy musicals, want intense drama, want a man's point of view or hate women's liberation. Read more
