Yes, you read that right: a musical about breakfast. And why not? Who hasn’t wanted to break into song about oatmeal? Or yogurt. It’s 9:15 a.m. and I’m eating a Pop-Tart as I type this. And singing about it. See what I mean?

Late last summer-into-fall, I worked on a web series produced by Disney for Kellogg’s and Milk called CeReality. The 100-episode series followed the morning chaos of five families. Each family had a different concept – one spoofed horror films, another was a soap-opera parody, etc., and one was a musical. Yes, a family that would spontaneously break into songs about breakfast. It was all tongue-in-cheek and a blast to work on. I worked with lyricist Amy Forstadt to come up with 10 songs, in different genres: country, disco, ’80s pop, electronica, punk and more. For this one, we channeled as much Journey and Night Ranger as we could stomach and came up with a reverb-drenched rock ballad, called “Two Hearts, Two Spoons.”

Cary Okmin executive-produced for Disney, and Barry Samson and his tireless crew at Toybox Entertainment produced the entire series. Full cast and crew are listed here.
