Following its successful run with American Psycho, See You Sunday is preparing to bring the West End’s most wholesome hit to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
If your personality type is “comfort-watching amateur bakers cry over tempered chocolate”, your 2026 social calendar has just cleared up. The Great British Bake Off Musical—the West End sensation that proved you can actually turn a technical challenge into a showstopper—is officially making its Australian debut.
The production marks a sharp, sugary turn for See You Sunday, the powerhouse team behind the recent sell-out Melbourne season of American Psycho – The Musical. It’s a deliberate “vibes shift”, according to producer Mark Taylor.
“We wanted to take the show in an unexpected direction after the success of American Psycho,” says Taylor. “This show is pure joy. It’s funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically feel-good. And yes, expect a few soggy bottoms along the way.”
What to Expect in the Tent
Opening its run in Melbourne before heading to Sydney and Brisbane, the musical captures the high-stakes, low-stress magic of the global TV phenomenon. Expect:
- Original Score: A soundtrack that jumps from the tension of a “technical” to the euphoria of a “Star Baker” reveal.
- The Characters: A group of eclectic contestants kneading their way through self-discovery, complete with judges and hosts that feel winkingly familiar.
- The Aesthetic: Think lashings of buttercream, vibrant set design, and the kind of immersive community spirit that made the show a lockdown staple.
While the London critics called it “the epitome of feel-good fun,” local audiences are mostly eager to see how the tent’s signature warmth translates to the Australian stage. Following a string of dark, gritty theatre hits in the local scene, a “theatrical treat” centring on friendship and sponge cake feels like the palate cleanser we actually need.
The Details
While we’re still waiting on the official word for casting and specific dates, the hype is already proofing.
