The Kitchen Musical

When I first saw the ad on NTV7...i was like, ‘Hmm, is this some kind of musical drama?’ And then the cast…okay, first we got Stephen Rahman Hughes and then….its Christian Bautista! And I went…

‘OMG!!!!!! It’s Christian Bautista!!!’

Yup, I’m a big fan of him, though he’s not that popular in Malaysia. But I know he’s a big sensation in Indonesia. As for Phillipines, no need to mention his stardom in his own country, right? Mind you, he’s the number 1 balladeer in Phillipines.

Okay, back to ‘The Kitchen Musical’. Fusing both Glee-style musical elements and culinary themes, it is a music-dance-drama revolving around the story of a rich girl who goes to work at a restaurant after graduating from famed Paris culinary school Le Cordon Bleu.

The show, through music, song and dance, will follow the trials and tribulations of Maddie as she begins a journey of self-discovery. She goes to work at her father's restaurant, The Avilon, and learns that she cannot always get her way by being Daddy's girl.

The Kitchen Musical is set to dazzle TV viewers across Asia in October, with broadcasts in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and 12 other countries.
