Full cast announced for CAKE The Marie Antoinette Playlist at Lyric Theatre

Full casting has been announced for the limited West End run of Cake, which plays at the Lyric Theatre from 20-24 September.

Joining the previously announced Zizi Strallen as Marie Antoinette and Renee Lamb as Jeanne, who are both reprising their roles, will be Kandaka Moore (Sylvia) as Nicole and Roger Dipper (A Christmas Carol) as Cardinal, with the ensemble comprising Ope Sowande (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and Elizabeth Fullalove (Starlight Express), also as ‘Jewellers’, with Dance Captain Travis Kerry (Hamilton), and Jane Albertsen (Hamilton).

The brand-new musical, come gig, come ballet, is from some of the most exciting figures in modern British Theatre. Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist will be lighting up the West End for one week only as a taster of what is to come for the exciting production.

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.

Cake was originally commissioned by Paul Taylor-Mills and promises to re-define our expectations of what a musical can be.

The musical has a book by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Tasha Taylor Johnson, with music and lyrics by Jack McManus and Tasha Taylor-Johnson, direction and choreography by Drew McOnie, set and costume design by Sami Fendall, lighting by Joshie Harriette, sound by Andy Sharman, and casting by Will Burton.
