In an unexpected move, Dolly Parton and Doja Cat will star in a TikTok musical about Taco Bell‘s Mexican Pizza.
Airing live on on May 26 via TikTok, “Mexican Pizza: The Musical” is a fast food ode to the Taco Bell menu item that will return to stores this month.
The musical idea started when Doja Cat rapped “I will end you if you ever dare to go discontinued” “This ain’t even Mexican food,” about Mexican Pizza, which was taken off Taco Bell’s menu in 2020. And the concept was born from TikTok comedian Victor Kunda who started parodying what a rehearsal for a professional production of “Mexican Pizza: The Musical by Doja Cat” might look like.
Penned by screenwriter Hannah Friedman with Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, the duo who won a Grammy for their first TikTok production, “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical.” We sat down and composed a musical for Mexican Pizza,” said Barlow on TikTok, dismissing rumors that this digital performance was a joke. “And every song is a banger, if I do say so myself.”
Details on Parton’s role in the musical are also scarce though the Country music legend announced her involvement with an Instagram post of a “personal and confidential” script.
Throughout this past year, Taco Bell has tapped Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and, now, Parton (who was just added named to the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction class, along with Eminem, Lionel Richie, the Eurythmics and more) to promote its Chalupa Supremes and Cheesy Gordita Crunches to the youths.
