Happening as part of Manchester Jewish Museum’s Synagogue Nights, Becoming Nigella is a heart-warming new stage musical inspired by Nigella Lawson.

When Anna’s estranged mother passes away, she inherits Nigella Lawson’s seminal cookbook How to Eat. She is surprised to find the book is accompanied by the spirit of Nigella Lawson, who pushes Anna into learning the joys of food.

With lots of laughter and a few tears, Becoming Nigella is a joyous celebration of cooking (and failing) and the food we eat.
