A farce by Douglas E. Hughes and Marcia Kash, Too Many Cooks is set in 1932 at "Chateau Bubbalowe", a restaurant opening in Niagara Falls, Canada. Irving Bubbalowe and his daughter, Honey, have put all of their savings into this restaurant, including hiring the famous singing chef, François LaPloufe for their opening night. Except François never shows up. And it turns out that a local supplier, Mickey, had double-crossed Alfonse Feghetti, a Chicago mobster, and is using Chateau Bubbalowe to store his stolen shipment of whiskey. Add in a replacement chef with too many accents, an overzealous Mountie, and an immigrations investigator, and it's becomes clear that this is a recipe for trouble.Has nothing to do with the short film Too Many Cooks.This show exhibits the following tropes: | |

Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: Ultimately used by Irving to get the gangsters to give up on shooting him, Frank, and Honey. | |

| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_26bccc6e | comment |
Ash Face: The oven blows up partway through the show. Irving uses this to claim that Honey is actually, "Fatima", a Sufi Muslim from... Saskatchewan. | |

| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: When it's revealed that François LaPloufe is sought by immigration because he's a filthy Bolshevik who's tried to start unions in the past, the two gangsters spit in disgust. | |

Easy Amnesia | |
| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Easy Amnesia: Largely averted. Mickey suffers from amnesia throughout the second act. Not only can't he remember who he is, but he's repeatedly told his name and to go to Niagara Falls to hide and each time, he's surprised and responds, "Huh... I always wanted to go there." | |

| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_8a986cc7 | comment |
The Great Depression: One of the reasons Irving feels his restaurant has a chance is that so many places have closed up over the Crash. | |

| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_a2f6e439 | comment |
The Living Dead: At the end of the first act, the dead Mickey gets up and walks off stage before the lights go down. It's because he's not actually dead. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Too Many Cooks (Theatre) / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Mickey is introduced singing along with a record of an opera aria. François LaPloufe is the famous "singing chef". When LaPloufe is a no-show, they instead bill Mickey as the "singing chef" that they've been advertising. | |

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: Played with. Alfonse is definitely on the top of his world, but he's also lonely, having put all of his efforts into work. | |
