In the reality of this production, it originated in an actual pie shop in Tooting. The Arts Club that first produced it has a mission that involves collaborating with local businesses. There's a local pie shop, so on some level, it makes sense that they would choose a musical with a pie shop so central to its plot as the production for that collaboration.
That production was wildly successful, so when it transferred, they recreated the whole experience, pie shop and all. |
