Wynnewood Performer’s Food Allergy ParodyWill Knock Your Hypoallergenic Socks Off!
“W
hen I was diagnosed with mul
ti-ple food allergies, I had a choice:
mourn my restricted diet in pri-vate,
or write a music video about it set to
the music of
 Les Misérables,
” says Wynnewood
resident Michael Bihovsky. His creative juices
started flowing, and “One Grain More” wasborn. A musical theater composer and per-former, Bihovsky called upon some of his
most talented friends, and together they made
it into a short film, parodying the song “One
Day More” from
 Les Mis.
“One Grain More” tells the story of Jean
Valjean, Marius, Cosette, and Epipen, as they
prepare allergy-friendly dishes for a party,
and are soon overwhelmed by the challenges
and general weirdness of various food sub-stitutes.The video, filmed in several Wynnewoodlocations, was released on YouTube on July18. Within six days it had already received
more than 10,000 views, having been shared
by sources ranging from health food orga-nizations to the former executive producer
of
 Les Mis
on Broadway. “With the prevalence
of food allergies these days, people are get-ting a good laugh whether they are allergy
 
Michael Bihovsky searches for acceptableallergy-free food substitutes in his humorousnew musical parody “One Grain More,”available on YouTube.
