âIt s important that young artists feel itâs important to choose to develop their work in the way that they think is going to be helpful to them. I don t think it is as helpful for lots of outside people to go, âHere, do it this way, do it this way. Here, you re BIPOC, you can have this, you can have that.â There are going to be people who do well with that, but that, in my experience, wasn t the thing that was helpful. It s going to sound contradictory, but the struggle actually helped me. Even though there were moments during the struggle where I was like, âOh my god, this is the worst thing ever,â I wanted to do it more than the worst thing ever. The thing I would hope is that if they don t want to do it, then they won t. Feeling like you have to do it just to feel something is a kind of poison in you. Sometimes saying no is going to save your soul. You can also say that the struggle is worth it, and that is also valid.â

The Ratatouille TikTok musical will return for an encore performance Sunday night on the platform where it all started. TikTok is hosting another showing of the streaming musical that debuted online New Year’s Day, which has already raised more than $1 million for The Actors Fund.
The musical came together on TikTok over the past few months, with composers, fans, set designers, costumers, and choreographers creating musical numbers for the fictional “show” which is built around the 2007 Disney/Pixar animated film. Then in December Seaview Productions announced it was producing the show in association with TikTok. Disney/Pixar gave its blessing, and the show attracted big Broadway names to perform the crowdsourced songs.
