In November 2020, Taco Bell announced that it would be discontinuing its Mexican Pizza and the news was not taken lightly but it is returning after two years, along with Mexican Pizza: The Musical. This musical is exclusively premiering on TikTok near the end of May and it will feature two Grammy award-winning songwriters, Doja Cat and Dolly Parton.
Taco Bell describes the musical project as "a satirical musical about the 'harrowing' story of those who fought to bring back the Mexican Pizza," complete with original music.
Considering that the disappearance of the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza sparked a petition with over 100,000 signatures, this musical is sure to reach an audience of passionate fans who will resonate with "the true story of the Internet losing its mind."
