Curtain goes up on the Great British Bake-Off musical at the Harrogate Theatre
Ready, Get Set, Bake! The temperature is rising for the Harrogate Phoenix Players as they put the finishing touches to the Harrogate premiere of The Great British Bake-Off Musical.
The colourful theatrical adaptation brings all the charm, warmth and drama of the of the TV show to the stage.
There are the crazy presenters, Jim and Kim, rivalling any comedy duo; judges Pam Lee and Phil Hollinghurst, who bear more than a passing resemblance to Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, a TV crew of singers and dancers and, of course, eight hopeful bakers.
" It is the personal stories of these contestants that will have the audience laughing, crying and investing in the hopes and aspirations of each character,” said a spokesperson for the company.
"This show has it all; love, loss, jealousy and joy.”
Directed and choreographed by Angela Edwards, celebrating her fifth show with the Phoenix Players, each episode in the famous tent brings wit, pathos and some cracking one-liners while new musical directors, Mark Newberry and Wil Jones, lead the cast through a musical cornucopia featuring every genre from ballad to rap.
To complete the baking theme, show sponsors Mama Doreen's will be selling their akes during the interval.
The Great British Bake-Off Musical runs from Wenesday March 18 until Saturday March 21, daily at 7.30pm plus a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
