Following its limited and electrifying try-out run at The Lyric Theatre in 2023, Paul-Taylor Mills and Bill Kenwright Ltd present the brand-new musical, come ballet, come gig, now back in London for a full reign, as one of the most talked about monarchs in history has finally found her (rightful) palatial home…at The Other Palace, to be exact
Fusing 18th-century France with a multi-genre pop score, Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist, retells the events that sparked a revolution. The reign of Marie Antoinette was blighted by scandal and gossip but after she is implicated in a plot to defraud the crown jewelers of a diamond necklace, it is not just her reputation that is at stake, but the reputation of the monarchy, and France itself.
Zizi Strallen reprises her role as Marie Antoinette, along with Renée Lamb as Jeanne.
Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist was originally commissioned by Paul Taylor-Mills and promises to redefine audience expectations of what a musical should be.
