As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog, fans took to TikTok to craft a musical from scratch base on the 2007 Pixar film Ratatouille which is about a rat who loves to cook. Emily Jacobson, who wrote the original “Remy the Ratatouille” song for TikTok and Daniel Mertzlufft whose arrangement of that song helped kickstart the musical phenomenon are being given writing credit. The same goes for Blake Rouse who wrote two of the more popular songs on TikTok “Ratatouille Tango” and “The Rat’s Way of Life.”
In a recent interview Rouse told Rolling Stone magazine, “It started as a joke. And then people sort of started saying, ‘Hey, check this out. This could be the song, this could be the dance numbers, these could be costumes.’ People started to become invested in this TikTok musical theater baby everyone’s collectively taking care of.”
The event is being coordinated by Tony Award Winning theatrical production company Seaview and the music will be performed by a 20-piece Broadway Sinfonietta orchestra. Jeremy O. Harris, Michael Breslin, and Patrick Foley will serve as Executive Producers.
Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical will stream on Friday at 7 p.m. ET for 72 hours. The $5 tickets are on sale exclusively on TodayTix.com, with proceeds benefiting the Actors Fund, which supports entertainment industry workers. With Broadway theaters having been shut down for 9 months, this Actors Fund is now more important than ever!
