Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist is back to The Other Palace

The show will play from 13 September to 10 November

Following electrifying try-out performances at The Lyric Theatre last year, Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul-Taylor Mills present the brand-new musical, come gig, come ballet, now 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: The Marie Antoinette Playlist, 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.

Reprising their roles will be West End star Zizi Strallen (Mary Poppins; Strictly Ballroom) as Marie Antoinette, and the original Catherine of Aragon in the award-winning musical SIX, Renée Lamb (Be More Chill; SIX) as Jeanne joined by Millie O’Connell as Nicole, Travis Ross as Cardinal, Lila Eccles as Ensemble / Cover Marie, Zara MacIntosh as Ensemble / Cover Jeanne
Emma Robotham-Hunt as Ensemble / Cover Nicole, Tarik Frimpong as Ensemble / Cover Cardinal, Sunny Lee as Ensemble / Swing and Manu Saraswat as Ensemble / Swing.

Cake has a book by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Tasha Taylor Johnson, music and lyrics by Jack McManus and Tasha Taylor-Johnson. Bronagh Lagan directed the show based on the original staging by Drew McOnie with additional choreography by Christopher Tendai, set and costume design by Sami Fendall, and lighting design by Joshie Harriette.
Casting by Will Burton, the show is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills
