STAGE TUBE: First Look at KITCHEN MUSICAL
The popularity of both culinary shows and musical series have risen in the past couple of years, and now UK distributor Ben Silverman plans to bring a combination of both genres to the US.
"The Kitchen Musical" will debut in various countries across Asia this October, but Silverman - who brought both The Office and Ugly Betty stateside - plans to pitch it in the United States this fall.
"We think it's a big, broad, accessible idea that's got a bit of everything: a cooking element, a musical, an 'Upstairs/Downstairs' dynamic and a little bit of 'Romeo and Juliet,'" Silverman told Variety.
Silverman also stated that he has an experienced choreographer-director attached to the project, though he's not yet naming who. He thinks "Kitchen" can spawn products such as a cookbook, live tour and stage musical - similar to the FOX series Glee's multi-platform success.
