'Top Chef' to Become a Broadway Musical?

"Cats." "The Lion King." "Top Chef?"

While you might not be able to picture the Bravo reality show in marquee lights, restaurateur (and Top Chef judge) Tom Colicchio reportedly thinks the program is a natural fit for the Great White Way.

Bravo's program director, Andy Cohen, told New York magazine, "He thinks he has a great idea about doing something like that." Perhaps thinking about the hazards involved with fire and sharp knives onstage, Cohen wasn't initially sold. "I told him, 'I'm not so sure,' but he's trying to convince me!"

The magazine rounded up some reactions from former cast members, who were largely game for the idea of a Broadway production.

Marcel Vigneron had our favorite response: "Totally, of course, I'd love to do it. I'm a pretty decent dancer, I'm not gonna lie. Actually, I was cutting a rug for six hours last night. Yeah, I could definitely handle the freestyle hip-hop scenes."

Following in the footsteps of the revered Iron Chef, and riding the crest of the reality trend still sweeping U.S. networks in the mid-2000s, the Bravo network's reality series Top Chef pits 15 chefs against one other in an on-camera competition of food preparation to vie for the title of premier culinary maestro.
