About Cake: The Marie Antoinette Playlist
Ballet, music and all the vibes of your favourite gig, Cake combines the splendour of 18th-century France with a pop score that spans multiple genres. It takes us back to an intriguing time in history, to a story that sparked a revolution, and is told through a completely new lens.
Before she married King Louis, Marie Antoinette’s reputation was already tarnished by savage rumours. But when Marie finds herself involved in a crown jewel heist, not only does the future of the monarchy and the soul of France hang in the balance, but also her honour.
