In the summer, a new musical comedy inspired from The Great British Bake Off opens.
On July 22, the stage production will be presented at Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre, Gloucestershire.
This musical, entitled Great British Bake Off: the Musical follows the same format as the well-loved baking show.
The event will feature eight amateur bakers competing to impress 2 judges to win the title of champion star baker.
Each baker will share their stories, and face challenges, trials, and failures along the journey.
Great British Bake Off Musical will take the form of the iconic baking show (pictured).
Great British Bake Off: the Musical will include a score composed by the award winning writing duo Jake Brunger & Pippa Clary. It will also showcase West End performers and musicians.
Mark Goucher will produce the show. He is also responsible for Hairspray, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and other touring productions.
According to Mr Goucher, “The TV sensation Great British Bake Off touches the hearts of people and I believed it would work beautifully on stage.”
“We have been working together on the show for a few years. I am proud to say that we created the musical comedy with the support of our creator and this creative team.
It was developed alongside Richard McKerrow (TV series executive producer) and Love Productions (production company).
McKerrow said that “This new Bake-Off Musical is a creative labor of love, which has required several years of meticulous development.”
“But Mark, his wonderful team of musicians producers and writers who were passionately involved in the cause, we hope this musical version captures the heartfelt warmth and funny spirit of the TV show.
It is a treat for the whole family as well as anyone who comes.
“Love the bakers and love the baking!” is a common saying. It’s now time to be a lover of the singers and the songs.
Presenters of the Great British Bake Off TV Series are Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding.
