“The sets, like the jokes, are flat. This is low-level entertainment for the undemanding, that never rises to the level of a technical hit, let alone a showstopper.”

“Rachel Kavanaugh’s slick, colourful production has such a sure sense of the show’s entertainment value and limitations that I relented, and succumbed to its good-natured zest.”

“Fans won’t be disappointed ... [but] trying to squeeze the back stories of eight contestants into a single narrative causes quite a tangle towards the end.”

“It is ... an extraordinarily bloated show, with very little plot and about 10 songs too many... the show has a commercial veneer that is at odds with its scrappy, home-baked vibe. It is too knowing, yet at the same time too uncertain about its purpose – and ultimately, a bit too vanilla.”

“Brilliantly written and phenomenally acted, this feelgood show is the perfect recipe for a good night out...When it comes to star bakes, this show wins them all – all five of them.”

“It’s worth noting that if you’ve never watched an episode of Bake Off, then many of the skits, in-jokes and double entendres are likely to be lost on you, but then, this big hug of a musical has clearly been written for the fans. Great British Bake Off: The Musical is a fantastic evening of escapism, much like the show it’s based on, you can get away from all the drama for a while, and just indulge in this sweet sugar rush of pure joy.”
