Set in a restaurant kitchen, Cookin’ is a hilarious non-verbal percussion show featuring four crazy Korean chefs who are working against the clock to prepare a complete wedding banquet. With an overheated Maitre D’ intent on keeping the foursome on schedule, Cookin’ slices, dices, chops and beats a delightfully spellbinding blend of martial arts, drumming and dance that will leave audiences hungry for more! Originally developed in Korea by PMC Production Co. Ltd., Cookin’ applies the traditional rhythms of Samulnori – a form of Korean music – to a fast-paced kitchen percussion show combining comedy, rhythm and non-verbal performance that culminate into a dynamic and delicious evening of performance. The typical instruments of Samulnori have all been replaced with utensils commonly found in the kitchen including knives, cutting boards, pots, pans, chopsticks and woks. In the last five years, Cookin’ has delighted over two million people worldwide, having performed in more than 25 countries throughout Europe, Asia and North America. In Korea alone, more than one million people have attended performances of COOKIN’, making it the longest-running show in the history of Korean Performing Arts. Cookin’ is presented by PMC Production Co. Ltd., Seung Whan Song, Kwang Ho Lee, The Broadway Asia Company, Simone Genatt Haft and Marc Routh. The play opened Off-Broadway to rave reviews in March 2004. COOKIN’ features scenic design by Dong Woo Park, costume design by Hee Joo Kim, lighting design by Hak Young Kim and sound design by Jai Hyun Park.
