StarKid!! (Free Musicals Online)

There have been a few threads in the past about Starkid in the past, but I'll ditto this one.

I've always thought Starkid was kinda hit or miss. A Very Potter Musical has it's sophomoric charm, and Twisted was surprisingly moving, but shows like The Trail to Oregon and Ani just seemed kind of thrown together.

Now I really think they've hit their stride with The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and Black Friday. They're funnier, better written, and have Jeff Blim writing some incredible music. I'm really excited to see what they do in the future.

Again... there has been a few Starkid topics but now is as good a time as any to make conversation about this once again.

The thing with Ani and Trail to Oregon was that they were two shows running in the same theatre on opposite weeks. So one week it was Ani and the next is was Trail back and forth for a summer so they could not use a set for either show that was to difficult to break down or put up in a day. of the two, Trail is a FAR better show however. In fact.... Ani might actually be the WORST show they have made and is the one show I can find nothing actually redeemable about, but Trail has some funny moments and the fact that they took name suggestions from their audience at every show and then used those names for the whole performance including working the names into the songs was kind of great. Somewhere there is a listing of ever name that was used over the run of the show and it had some gems.

I found myself highly disappointed in Black Friday. I am all for something a bit more dark but I mean this musical goes too dark too fast and has very few bright spots to lift it up. Some funny moments through out ("SANTA!" and a few great performances (Dylan and Robert are gifts that should be treasured in everything they do) but other than that it was just a downer of a show. However, I LOVE the ending and how it leaves you guessing and theorizing. I can't wait until they announce the next show in the series. Perhaps when I will appreciate Black Friday more.

In Black Friday, General McNamara says that PEIP stands for Paranormal, Extraterrestrial, and Inter-Dimensional Phenomena. TGWDLM is Extraterrestrial, Black Friday is Inter-Dimensional, so Nerdy Prudes Must Die is probably gonna wrap up the trilogy with paranormal. The title sounds like a send-up to 80s slasher movies, and I'm so ready for that.
