Reviewed by JuliaAerides

Status - Ongoing
Genre - Drama, Musical

The Kitchen Musical revolves around Maddi Avilon whom upon graduation from a reputable culinary school in Paris obtained a job as a sous chef at a famous restaurant owned by her father - a position that took her friend Daniel Ray many years to reach. This proves to be a source of discontent among her co-workers as she struggles to showcase her creativity under the tyranical head chef, Alex Marcus

In Episode 1, Maddi believes that The Avilon's menu is due for an overhaul. However she has to content with Alex's absolute command that allowed no deviation from his recipes and orders. This greatly disheartens Maddi. Nonetheless, The Avilon is visited by Hue Masters, an infamous food critic whose comments might make or break their reputation. How will Alex and his team work together to create a display of perfection that will satisfy Masters.

I was totally blown away by episode 1. If you think that this is a cheap imitation of Glee, you're wrong. The Kitchen Musical is its own. A mixture of food and music~ wonderful. We are treated a stunning display of drama interlaced with popular soundtracks such as Unwell by Matchbox and For your Entertainment by Adam Lambert among others.



The cast was a great mix of talented people and their chemistry was undeniable. This is truly a series worth watching and I will expect a great deal from now on. The Kitchen Musical premiers on Malaysia starting 4th of October at Ntv7, 8.30pm every Tuesday.
