Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist - The Lowry - Theatre Vlog & Review 2 Including The Curtain Call

In this vlog I go back to the Lowry for a second helping of Cake the musical. Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist is currently showing in the Quays Theatre at the lowry. I went to see the show on a Friday evening and this time I went with my husband, we weren't sat together thou as I bought my ticked at the last minute and he had bought his ticket earlier in the week. Lawrence was sat in the stalls row D seat 14 and I was sat in the stalls tier row A seat 36. We paid £15 each for our tickets using the Manchester theatre offer where you can get best available seats for £15. The evening show started at 8pm and the run time was just 70mins with no interval.

This 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 venturing on a UK tour from March 2023, starting at the Mayflower Studios, Southampton.

Cake: The Marie Antoinette playlist has an award-winning creative team including Olivier winner’s Drew McOnie (In the Heights; Jesus Chris Superstar) and Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Emilia – The Globe)

Cake combines a multi-genre pop score with 18th century France to retell a story that sparked a revolution. When Marie Antoinette married King Louis, her reputation was already tarnished by gossip. 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 (Heathers & In the Heights) and promises to re-define our expectations of what a musical can be.

Casting will include, fresh from her magical run as Mary Poppins on the West End, Zizi Strallen (she/her) stars as Marie Antoinette, with Renée Lamb (she/her), Catherine of Aragon from the original cast of SIX, starring as Jeanne.

The cast is completed by B Terry (they/them) as Nicole, Travis Ross (he/him) as Cardinal with Ope Sowande (he/him) and Megan Bryony Gibbs (she/her) as the ensemble and Lukas Hunt (he/him) and Amie Hibbert (she/her) as swings.
