CAKE returns to The Other Palace
Following electrifying try-out performances at the Lyric Theatre last year, CAKE: THE MARIE ANTOINETTE PLAYLIST, the brand-new musical, come gig, come ballet, is coming back for a full reign. This time, one of the most prolific monarchs in history has found her (rightful) home at a palace… The Other Palace, to be exact.
Combining a multi-genre pop score with 18th century France, Cake retells a story that sparked a revolution.
Marie Antoinette’s reign was blighted by gossip and scandal. But when she is implicated in a crime to defraud the crown jewellers of a diamond necklace, it is not just her reputation at stake, but the monarchy and France itself.
The musical features a book co-written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, and promises to re-define our expectations of what a musical can be. Tickets are on sale now and can be bought here.
