Following a 2023 U.K. tour and five performances in the West End last September, Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist will play a limited engagement at London's The Other Palace in the fall.

Directed by Bronagh Lagan, based on the original staging by Drew McOnie, performances are scheduled for September 13–November 10.

Reprising their roles will be Zizi Strallen (Mary Poppins, Strictly Ballroom) as Marie Antoinette and Renée Lamb (Be More Chill; Six) as Jeanne with further casting to be announced.

Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist, featuring a book by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Tasha Taylor Johnson and music and lyrics by Jack McManus and Taylor Johnson, 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 jewelers of a diamond necklace, it is not just her reputation at stake, but the monarchy and France itself.

The production also has choreography by Christopher Tendai, set and costume design by Sami Fendall, lighting design by Joshie Harriette, and casting by Will Burton. 

Cake was originally commissioned by Paul Taylor-Mills, who says in a statement, “I’m delighted we are bringing Cake to The Other Palace for a full run, as this brand-new genre busting musical continues to evolve following on from its try-out last year. Completing our 2024 programme of new musicals and developing work, from Cruel Intentions the Musical at the start of the year to Babies currently receiving rave reviews, and Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World over the summer, the London Premiere of The Lightning Thief, this will literally be the icing on the Cake!"

Bill Kenwright Ltd and Taylor-Mills produce.
