Overview

Synopsis

The Great British Bake Off Musical is a wholesome, feel-good production based on the popular British TV show of the same name. The story takes place over one season in the tent and follows eight contestants, two hosts, and two judges as they battle their way through the ups and downs of filmed competition. Throughout the show, we meet two very familiar judges, Pam Lee and Phil Hollinghurst, as well as a brigade of the stereotypical, but very thought-out competitors we have come to expect in the tent every season. The musical is an ensemble piece and follows the contestant’s, host’s, and judge’s journies through original songs and a charming book. A perfect blend of new and nostalgic, The Great British Bake Off Musical is sure to warm the hearts of audience members, whether they love to bake or not!
