In your brands, ready, sing!The Great British Baking Show becomes a musical!
The hit series of English-language truth festivals, called The Great British Bake Off overseas, will be adapted into a musical this summer.
Scheduled for its UK premiere at Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre, the exhibition, aptly named Great British Bake Off: The Musical, “will stick to the trials and tribulations of our bakers, all with their own stories to tell and as unique to others as their glorious baked creations,” according to its official description.
The musical comes from Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary, the London-based musical theatre writing society, the acclaimed adaptations of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 133/4, Treasure Island, Little Red Riding Hood and Chicken Little. Brunger will write the book, Cleary the score, and the two collaborate on the lyrics.
Rachel Kavanaugh, an established British director, will direct.
