22 July – 6 August

 

Ahead of its West End transfer, be the first to see the official Great British Bake Off: The Musical this summer. Five years in the ‘baking’ , this great big new British musical is worthy of only the firmest handshake – and it’s coming to Cheltenham for it’s showstopping world premiere!

Mark Goucher said “The TV phenomenon Great British Bake Off gets to the heart of the nation, and for a long time I felt that it could work wonderfully well on the stage. We started working on the production a couple of years ago and with this talented creative team and in association with the TV show’s creator I hope we have created a musical comedy that will win over our audiences here at the Everyman Theatre.”

Follow the trials and tribulations of our bakers, find out who will triumph as Star Baker, and who will fall foul of a soggy bottom. Bursting with laughter and packed full of memorable songs, expect to fall in love all over again with the nation’s favourite baking show, in this year’s biggest new musical, suitable for the whole family.

Great British Bake Off: The Musical stars John Owen-Jones (Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera) and Rosemary Ashe (Les Miserables, The phantom of the Opera, The Witches of Eastwick, Mary Poppins) who will lead a company of over 30, including Olivier nominated actors Claire Moore and Charlotte Wakefield. Joining them to bake the house down are Simbi Akande, Michael Cahill, Damian Humbley, Jaye Jacobs, Scott Paige, Aharon Rayner, Jay Saighal and Catriana Sandison –  alongside a live orchestra.

Great British Bake Off: The Musical features 16 wonderful new songs written by ‘one of musical theatre’s most dynamic writing partnerships’, Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary. Mix in eight amateur bakers, add two presenters, two iconic judges and the result is the ultimate musical comedy sensation!

Bakers, you have two hours! On Your Marks, get set… SING!
