Full cast announced for CAKE: THE MARIE ANTOINETTE PLAYLIST at The Other Palace
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, CAKE: The Marie Antoinette Playlist, 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 from 13 September for a strictly limited season.
Joining the previously announced West End stars Zizi Strallen as Marie Antoinette and Renée Lamb as Jeanne, the royal court is now complete with star of SIX The Musical and The Cher Show, Millie O’Connell, joining the cast as Nicole, and fresh from the Kit Kat Club, reprising his role of the Cardinal, having previously played it during Cake’s 2023 UK tour, is Travis Ross.
The company is completed by Lila Eccles (Cinderella), Tarik Frimpong (The Drifters Girl), Sunny Lee (Hillsong Carols), Zara MacIntosh (& Juliet), Emma Robotham-Hunt (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) and Manu Sarswat (London stage debut) in the ensemble.
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: The Marie Antoinette Playlist has a book by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Tasha Taylor Johnson, and music and lyrics by Jack McManus and Tasha Taylor-Johnson, with direction by Bronagh Lagan based on the original staging by Drew McOnie, additional choreography by Christopher Tendai, set and costume design by Sami Fendall, lighting by Joshie Harriette and casting by Will Burton.
