Homebaked - The Musical. In Episode Two of 'Red Ladder Unwrapped' listen to Boff Whalley and Rod Dixon revealing all about this brilliant new musical currently in rehearsals!
Out of hard times, something magical can rise. Head to the Royal Court this autumn to enjoy a story of hard work, hope and pies (mainly pies to be honest). They didn’t just want the loaf, they wanted the whole bakery. They didn’t just want the bakery, they wanted the whole street!
This is a Liverpool story that needs to be celebrated. Red Ladder have partnered up with Liverpool’s Royal Court to tell it with bags of music and belly laughs along the way. World Premiere September 2021.
Written by (and composed by) Boff Whalley Directed by Rod Dixon Tickets here: liverpoolsroyalcourt.com/whats-on/homebaked-the-musical/
