Just Desserts: A Musical Bake-Off has found its cast for its upcoming Off-Broadway bow, set for AMT Theater beginning January 30, 2026. Opening night will be February 1, with Tom Wallace at the helm. 

The show will star Klea Blackhurst (Everything the Traffic Will Allow) as Mildred, Gina Lamparella (Caroline, or Change) as Jean, Elliott Litherland (The Music Man) as Zack, Tori Jade Lopez (Cinderella) as Emma, JP Sarro (The Lapsed Fan) as Lou, and Lauren Nicole Sherwood (Cabaret) as Brandy. Lani Corson (Jagged Little Pill) and Adam Kaster (The Golden Bride) will be the understudies.

In Just Desserts, we meet a variety of contestants: A determined young woman dreaming of opening her own bakery, a twice-divorced nail technician who wants to fit in with her new boyfriend’s circle of friends, a shy school nurse who is torn between family obligations and a desire to participate, A mysterious man from Brooklyn who arouses suspicion about his past, and the reigning champion who disguises her ruthless drive to win with smiles and pleasantries. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will get their titular just desserts?

The musical is written by Barbara Campbell and Brad Ross

“As the authors of Just Desserts: A Musical Bake-Off, there's nothing more gratifying than seeing our work go from the page to the stage," say Campbell and Ross in a statement. "We're very excited about the great cast that we've assembled!
