Korean Musical: Bibap

Bibap (which is an acronym of "Bibimbab", Korean mixed-rice) is a musical performance which was introduced in summer, 2011. The performance consists of 8 chefs, 2 main chefs, the sexy chef, the cute chef, the iron chef, 2 beat boxing chefs and one break dancer. The structure of the story is: a battle between the 2 main chefs as they prepare Japanese Sushi, Italian Pizza, Chinese chicken noodles and finally their own Bibambab.
The ingredients of this musical are beat-boxing, break dance, musical, comedy and getting the audience involved with the show. The performance can be compared to the Korean traditional dish itself which is a mixture of various vegetable, meat, egg, chili sauce and omni-present rice.

The performance lasts for 70 minutes straight without any break for the performers which makes this musical amazing. In between the audience also gets to participate (are also given gifts). The selected audience also gets to taste the food, Bibimbab which makes the show very unique.
