TikTok phenomenon “Ratatouille: The Musical” – the “Ratatousical”, if you will – is finally getting its moment in the spotlight on Broadway. The viral collaborative music production has been taken over by TikTok and is now being brought together in a special one-time streaming event for The Actors Fund. Playbill, presented by Seaview Productions, described the event as a “filmed concert presentation. ”
The live show follows a month-long collaboration that took place on TikTok. Inspired by a short song about « Remy the Ratatouille » by TikToker Emily Jacobson (@e_jaccs) released in August, « Ratatouille: the Musical » brought together composers, singers, choreographers, arrangers and designers from across the app by composer Daniel Mertzlufft’s musical theater arrangement of Jacobson’s song went viral.
$ 5 tickets are currently available on TodayTix, where the show will be held on Jan.. January is streamed at 7 p.m.. m. ET. On the TodayTix page for the show, the event can be purchased and viewed on demand for 72 hours. Until then, you can stay up to date with the live countdown for the event at Ratatousical. com showing art from a conceptual playbill for the show created by Jess Siswick.
It is currently unclear which of the original songs that are part of the « Ratatousical » canon will make it into the event, but there is no shortage of options. From RJ Christian’s « Anyone Can Cook », a ballad for Chef Gustaeu, to Blake Rouse’s « Tango for Colette and Linguini », the possibilities are endless. Playbill reported that more details about the event, including the cast, creative team, and production details, will be announced at a later date.
« It was magical to see the TikTok community create and adopt the #RatatouilleMusical, » Lizzy Hale, senior content manager at TikTok US, told Playbill. « From @e_jaccs ‘original’ Ode to Remy ‘to @shoeboxmusicals’ stage sets, the platform’s infinite creativity and the wider community that gathers around it has inspired and fueled a new forum for theater lovers to express, participate, and engage enjoy the show. ”
Some of the key players in the « ratatousical » effort have already confirmed the event on TikTok.
