Gigglemug

Time to decide once and for all… Cake or biscuit?

Inspired by the 1991 tribunal which determined the true identity of a Jaffa Cake, multi-award winning Gigglemug Theatre present a brand new family-friendly musical comedy that takes the biscuit (or cake…?).

A Jaffa Cake Musical was one of 8 musicals selected to be part of MTFest 2024 where it was staged in workshop form at The Other Palace. The show premiered at the Pleasance Courtyard as part of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe where it sold out its run and received over thirty 4 & 5 star reviews.

A Jaffa Cake Musical featured in The Guardian’s top 12 shows for families, The Stage’s list of best theatre shows to see, WhatsOnStage’s pick of musicals, Theatre Weekly’s top 20 shows & Fringebiscuit’s top 30 shows, as well as The Crush Bar, Musical Theatre Review, The Recs & Corr Blimey‘s pick of the Fringe. We even managed to nab an interview with Playbill which you can read here.
