A new musical heading to Norwich on its debut tour has been tipped for huge success.
Cake will be at the Norwich Theatre Playhouse from April 25 to 29 and it transports audiences to 18th-century France.
Its multi-genre pop soundtrack brings the story of Marie Antoinette bang up to date, in a fun, feisty tale of diamonds, gossip, monarchy and reputation.
The cast includes Zizi Strallen in the title role, who played Mary Poppins on the West End, and Renée Lamb (Six, Fantastically Great Women) as Jeanne.

Stephen Crocker, chief executive and creative director of Norwich Theatre, said: "Norwich Theatre Playhouse has a reputation for being the place to see a show early before it becomes the next big thing.
"The beloved and award-winning musical Six had its world premiere at the venue before making its way to the West End and Broadway.
"My Son’s a Queer had its only regional date here before moving to the West End and we believe that Cake has the potential to be the next hit show."
