What a showstopper! How The Great British Bake off became a musical

Stage | The Guardian: The first notes of The Great British Bake Off theme tune strike up and I have a pavlova-ian response: a slight stomach rumble, then I settle in for an hour of warmth and delight. Alas, I only get five minutes or so, for even though the pastel benches and stand mixers are present, they’re in a rehearsal room in south London, not a tent in the home counties. Here the cast of Great British Bake Off: The Musical, are doing a quick run through of the opening numbers before lunch. It’s a morsel, and I want more.
