"The recipe works: nostalgia, humor, and pop hits baked into one crowd-pleasing package."
Mystic Pizza: A New Musical delivers the beloved story from the iconic hit film driven by a score packed with unforgettable hits from the ’80s and ’90s. Follow best friends Kat, Daisy, and Jojo as they navigate the complexities of friendship and romance—all while slinging slices at a small-town pizza joint.
Bursting with laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt storytelling, and chart-toppers including “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Hold On,” and “Manic Monday,” Mystic Pizza is a joyful celebration of chasing dreams, lifelong bonds, and finding your place in the world.
Critics are hungry for more: Stage Scene LA calls Mystic Pizza a “surefire hit,” featuring “one show-stopping dance sequence after another,” while NJ Stage praises the show as “funny, heartwarming, and nostalgic.”
Mystic Pizza premiered at Ogunquit Playhouse in September of 2021 and received productions at La Mirada Theatre in January of 2024, Riverside Theatre in January of 2025, and Paper Mill Playhouse in February of 2025.
