This is the first international musical television drama series produced in Singapore for the regional and international markets, airing on AXN Asia, MetroTV in Indonesia, nTV7 in Malaysia, and Studio 23 in the Philippines.
The show, through music, song and dance, will follow the trials and tribulations of Maddie as she begins a journey of self-discovery following her graduation from a culinary school in Paris. 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 idea of a musical television series that hones in on Asia's passion for food has never been done before. We wanted to create a fresh and original concept for the global audience that is still well identifiable within the region," adds CheeK, the creator and writer of The Kitchen Musical who is also the executive vice president and creative director of The Group Entertainment.
The television series had the complete commitment of the international cast and crew, who based themselves in Singapore throughout the shoot. The cast was put through four weeks of intense acting and dancing rehearsals, as well as a kitchen boot camp. Each installment of the series will showcase re-arranged and re-recorded popular hit songs brought to life by specially-choreographed dance sequences.
With intercontinental creative personalities sharing the same vision as The Group Entertainment -- Gerard Salonga, internationally-acclaimed conductor and musical director from the Philippines, arranged the music featured in the show; Jason Coleman, Australia's top choreographer, added sizzling moves to the series; and Massimiliano Della Maggesa of the MTJ brand, renowned make-up extraordinaire, provided his creative flair - the show is set to be a visual masterpiece that will tempt the senses.
The Kitchen Musical will be transferred to the stage in the third quarter of 2012 by the Singapore Repertory Theatre. It has signed a deal with US company Electus to produce the content and distribute it across a variety of platforms in the US and around the world.
The Kitchen Musical is sponsored by Anchor Butter, Nestlé All Purpose Cream and Nestlé D'Lite Cream and is in partnership with Republic Polytechnic, Fiji Water, Zwiesel Asia Pacific and Schnap Studio. (PR)
