'Top Chef' headjudge Tom Colicchio wants Bravo's Emmy-winning reality series to get the Broadway treatment, according to a recent article in NY Magazine. Andy Cohen revealed at opening night of Broadway's THE NORMAL HEART: "Tom Colicchio has been pestering me to do Top Chef, The Musical! He thinks he has a great idea about doing something like that ... I told him I'm not so sure, but he's trying to convince me!"
Infamous season two contestant Marcel responded to the idea with: "Totally, of course, I'd love to do it. I'm a pretty decent dancer, I'm not gonna lie. Actually, I was cutting a rug for six hours last night. Yeah, I could definitely handle the freestyle hip-hop scenes." But can he sing too? "I totally sing in the shower, but it should probably be Milli Vanilli-style, where I can just dance and lip-synch."

Top Chef is an American reality competition show that airs on the cable television network Bravo, in which chefs compete against each other in culinary challenges. They are judged by a panel of professional chefs and other notables from the food and wine industry with one or more contestants eliminated in each episode. The show is produced by Magical Elves Productions, the same company that created Project Runway.
The show has produced two spin-offs: Top Chef: Masters, featuring established, award-winning chefs, and Top Chef: Just Desserts, featuring pastry chefs. Two more spin-offs are planned: Top Chef Junior, featuring contestants in their early teens, and Top Chef Canada, produced by Food Network (Canada).Videos
