This book is fantastic. The recipes look amazing, the art is adorable and the theater references are pun-tastic!
If you need a holiday gift idea for anyone in your life that loves theater, this cookbook is a no-brainer. Theoharis really poured her heart into this project, and it shows in each and every recipe. It's so much fun to flip through! I've already purchased an additional copy for my mom.
If you love Broadway, run-don't-walk to get a copy of this book, then invite over your best friends, tell them to dress up as characters from their favorite musical, and throw a dinner party they'll never forget! I particularly enjoy the surprising addition of party ideas, which is a nice call-out to Theoharis' popular blog, The Geeky Hostess.

This book has three of my favorite things: broadway, food, and puns. The recipes aren’t going to win any awards, but they are simple and approachable. There’s even a recipe for pasta with meatless balls that I’d be willing to try next time I am in the mood for RENT.

I love everything about this book! The recipes and tips are wonderful and the recipe photos are beautiful, but what I absolutely love most is the writing! This book is full of puns and humor and references to all of the plays I've seen and some I haven't seen. If you're a true theater nerd, (like me) you'll love this book!

A Must Have for Broadway Theater and Food Lovers!
The drink recipes in the summer book announcement enabled me to properly watch The Hamilton on Disney+. Now the full book is very satisfying. Meaningful captions, useful tips and wonderful photos. The musicals are smartly matched with creative recipes. The photo is the desert treat Honey Honey recipe inspired from Mama Mia!

My friend bought me this as a gift! Some of my favorite things! (Points if you know what show THAT line is from!) It’s the perfect gift for any broadway/foodie fan - literally a treat!!! 🎭 My hubs made Chicago’s Ragu last night and it was so good! Next up is Sound of Music inspired Schnitzl! 🎼

What a fun concept -- recipes inspired by Broadway musicals. Could use a few more photos of recipes. Wasn't inspired enough to bookmark and try any of the recipes, though.

I haven't made any of the recipes in this book yet, but the text of this book is very funny and clever for Broadway lovers. Lots of funny puns and amusing recipes titles. Can't wait to try some out!

Interesting recipes with easily attainable ingredients, and a “My Shot” with variations for each main character from Hamilton! Lots of theater geek fun to be had here!
