Meet the production team behind the Phoenix Players' show The Great British Bake-Off Musical on at Harrogate Theatre
The celebrities we see on our TV screens are only there because of those who work behind the scenes. The same is true in the Harrogate Phoenix Players’ production of The Great British Bake-Off Musical, which is based on the popular TV show.
The zany presenters, expert judges and eight contestants rely throughout the show on a small but dedicated support team.
They are the ensemble, chorus, front-line dancers, backstage crew, onstage crew and props department all rolled into one.
“It’s a tough job but they do it brilliantly and without them, it would be chaos in the famous Bake-Off tent,” said a spokesperson for the company.
Appearing as cameramen, handymen and women and make-up artists, all armed to the teeth with drills, screwdrivers, blushers and brushes, they make sure that the Bake-Off benches are correctly placed and the anxious contestants have all their cooking utensils right where and when they are needed.
“The Harrogate Phoenix Players are pleased to welcome both established members and new faces to this exceptional group of talented people. It’s just like the real thing – no one gets to shine in front of the cameras without the unsung heroes who make it all happen,” said the spokesperson..
The Great British Bake-Off Musical runs at Harrogate Theatre from Wednesday March 18 until Saturday March 21, daily at 7.30pm and a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm.

The Harrogate Phoenix Players are delighted to be sponsored by Mama Doreen’s Emporium and are proud to support Martin House Hospice.
