Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist will be closing early this Autumn.

Combining a multi-genre pop score with 18th Century France to tell the story of Marie Antoinette, the production announced a London run following on from a successful try-out run at the Lyric Theatre last year.

A statement released on behalf of the producers, Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor Mills, read: “Sadly, Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist will conclude its run of performances at the Other Palace on Sunday 29 September. Despite strong initial interest in this exciting new musical, it is not viable for the production to continue beyond this point and complete its planned run. We would like to thank all of the cast, creative team, technical staff and all of those who have helped to develop this new musical to this point. All of the team involved have worked incredibly hard to create an excellent show which we are all incredibly proud of.”

Initially set to run until 10 November, Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist will now play its final performance at The Other Palace on 29 September.
