MUSICAL CHEF

Programs

It has been performed in 101 cities in 30 countries around the world, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. It is also known to many under the title Bibap, which premiered in 2011. The musical CHEF is an updated version of this work. With the participation of Choi Chul-ki, who directed Nanta and planned Jump, and Jeon Jun-beom, who directed Jump, the production is complete.
The musical CHEF is a showdown between two chefs who think their dishes are the best. There are four episodes featuring sushi, pizza, chicken noodles, and bibimbap. Along with the two main chefs, each episode features a cute chef, a sexy chef, and a rookie chef to spice things up. The cooking process is presented through b-boying and slapstick comedy, creating a scene as impressive as any Michelin Guide restaurant. Audience participation is also encouraged. They are even invited on stage to improvise at the request of the actors. Of course, the final decision of the culinary showdown is up to the audience. One of the highlights is the heart-pounding beatboxing. You might think it's a pre-recorded sound effect, but it's 100% live, a living experience. When you leave the theatre, you can't help but wander around Chungmuro in search of good food.
