According to foreign media reports, on Sunday night local time, the TikTok musical "Food Story (Rataouille)" will be staged again on this short video platform. On Jan. 1, TikTok staged the musical for the first time and has raised more than $1 million for the Actors Fund.
Over the past few months, composers, fans, set designers, costume designers and choreographers have come together to create this virtual show. In December, Seaview Productions announced that it would be working with TikTok on the show. The original producer of the animation, Disney/Pixar, blessed it, and the musical also attracted Broadway moguls to perform crowdsourced songs. Wayne Brady plays Django, Andrew Barth Feldman as Linguini, Ashley Park as Colette, Andre de Shields as Antonio Ego, Adam Lambert as Emile, and Tituss Burgess as Remy. In addition, the Broadway Sinfonietta Orchestra scored the play.
The show will be streamed live on TikTok at 8 p.m. EDT, and TikTok said viewers can donate to The Actors Fund through in-app donation stickers.
