The new musical, based on the 1988 romantic comedy film, will play in Ogunquit Playhouse’s 25,000-square-foot, open-air Leary Pavilion.

Three working-class girls navigate the complex expectations of life, love, and family in a small-town pizza joint serving everyone from townies to the privileged country club set. And what's in that secret sauce, you ask? The hits of the ‘80s and ‘90s, from Cyndi Lauper to Robert Palmer!

The creative team includes director Casey Hushion (Broadway’s Mean Girls and The Prom), book writer Sandy Rustin, choreographer Liz Ramos, musical arranger, orchestrator and music supervisor Carmel Dean, and musical director Kristin Stowell.
