If you're someone who dabbles in theater TikTok, I'd put money down that you've heard whisperings about Ratatouille the Musical.

E! / giphy.com

Basically, it's a collaborative effort between a bunch of Gen Z creatives, and some of the TikToks are, like...TRULY incredible!!!!!!!

The origin story began when TikTok user @e_jaccs posted this lil' a cappella ~ode~ to Remy way back in August:

@e_jaccs
A love ballad #remy #rat #ratatoille #disney #wdw #disneyworld #ratlove #ratlife #rats #Alphets #StanleyCup #CanYouWorkIt
♬ Ode to Remy - Em Jaccs

Users @danieljmertzlufft and @cjaskier then added ensemble vocals and instrumentation and brought the concept of a Ratatouille musical to a whole new level.

But personally, it's the ELABORATE SET DESIGN(!!!!!!!) for me:

@shoeboxmusicals

There are no words.

AND LEST WE FORGET COSTUME DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOORAY FOR BREATHABLE TULLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're even having "auditions," and lemme just say, the level of talent on TikTok is chef's kiss.

I could go on and on about this trend for hours, but really, I just wanted to say how creative and amazing Gen Z'ers are. Like, the fact that they've essentially written, composed, and designed an ENITRE MUSICAL(!!!) on TIKTOK(!!!!!!!) during a PANDEMIC(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) speaks volumes about what they're capable of.

I'm in awe, you guys. The internet can really be a good place sometimes!!!!!!!!!!

And with all that being said, I Ieave you with this one guy's take on what Lin-Manuel Miranda would be like in Ratatouille the Musical. Goodbye!

@rockysroad
Alright @e_jaccs and @danieljmertzlufft here’s my pitch #ratatouillemusical #ratatouille #musicaltheatre #broadway #Animation #linmanuelmiranda
