Pixar’s charming film about a rat with a love for cooking has been turned into a musical on TikTok. Ratatouille: The TikTok musical stars Titus Burgess as Remy the rat, Adam Lambert as his rodent buddy Emile, Andrew Barth Feldman as Alfredo Linguini (the young chef Remy controls via tugging on his hair from under his hat), Ashley Park as Colette, another chef, and André De Shields as the stern critic Anton Ego. As out there as a Ratatouille TikTok musical sounds, it’s raised over $1 million for The Actors Fund, THR report.
In a statement, The Actors Fund president and CEO Joseph P. Benincasa said: "I am thrilled that we’ve begun the New Year with this seismic event that is clearly providing so much joy. Our gratitude goes to the producers, creators, performers and everyone in the TikTok community who came together so quickly to make it all happen so wonderfully.”
Per the BBC, the musical started with a video posted to TikTok by Emily Jacobson, featuring a song about Remy. From there, others began to get involved – culminating in the complete musical, which even has its own Playbill.
