For all the transgender and non-bianary StarKids out there, I see you. I love you. I haven’t always been the best or most vocal ally, but I will do better. If there’s an author trying to diminish who you are, that’s bullshit. I’ll be on Twitter all night if you need me.
Alright, everyone. Not sure what time it is for you, but it’s 2am for me so I’m gonna turn in. I didn’t get to respond to everyone, but I’m always here if you need me. Trans StarKids. Non-binary StarKids. I love you. You’re totally awesome.
Sorry it’s taken a while. Been a busy bee. But just finished the picture cut. Now it’s gotta have a sound & color pass. Here’s a look at the project. Black Friday is coming...
Hey everyone. Taking a moment to say that I’m remarkably proud of and grateful for my friends who helped bring this show to life. Check out Royalties on Quibi, if you’d like. Thanks!
I wanna thank everyone for coming to StarKid Homecoming. It was a joy.
The audience was incredible. The performers were astounding.
I feel like a fool for not taking more time to publicly thank
@CoreyLubo
, who pretty much made the whole thing happen. Thanks, Corey!
I LOVE the Little Mermaid, but it always bummed me out that Eric drove the boat into Ursula.
My only question about the remake is: Is Ariel gonna get to drive the boat into Ursula this time?
That and I hope they keep the priest having a boner in the wedding scene.

#StarKidRewind
this week, I’d just like to share that Obi Wan from Ani was my favorite StarKid character to play, by far. It’s the only part I played that after Matt & I wrote it, I said “I’d like to do it.”
Hey StarKid fans. I’ve heard about this new Black Friday movie, and I’m in full support. Some people have pointed out similarities to the SK musical, but I’m 100% sure it’s a coincidence and it’s no problem at all. Lots of talented folks on this new project. It’s gonna be GROOVY!
For those of you that might be curious, Workin’ Boys is gonna be crazy. Matt & I have (probably) too high of aspirations for it, but we’re gonna make it as cool, weird, funny & spooky as we can! Not one to miss.
HOWEVER, for one week only, you can still become a backer on our BackerKit Pre-Order Page!!
Order anything in the next week, and you’ll also receive access to the “Workin’ Boys” film when it comes out!
Hey everyone. You may have heard Quibi launched today. It’s a new streaming service/app/Im-not-100%-sure. But we (me, my brother, Darren, and a bunch of other StarKid people) actually have a new show called ‘Royalties’ that’ll be coming to Quibi in June...
The first 3 episodes coming on June 1, then a new episode out every weekday until all 10 are out on June 10. Quibi’s got that free 14 day trial that’ll get you through the whole thing!
Royalties is a new series Matt & I wrote with Darren for Quibi (though I’m not 100% sure what Quibi is). We didn’t write this ad, but it’s fun & we can’t wait for you to see the show!
Tickets for our new show, "Black Friday," go on sale this week! Kickstarter backers have first crack at the presale on August 16 at 9am PT, followed by the general onsale Saturday, August 17 at 9am PT.
Return to Hatchetfield with us this holiday season!
This is the prototype of our Rumbleroar plush, complete with a StarKid in a space suit riding on the back! (We’re still working on the embroidery detail)
I wanna thank everyone for submitting Hatchetfield theories and fan art. Some amazing stuff. We’ll try to address/feature as much as possible on the stream this Sunday. And for those who want to know more about Melissa, you might be in luck.
Hi. Here’s a very helpful master thread that will lead you to many links you’ll need. Thanks in advance for sharing, reading, giving, reflecting, learning, growing, speaking & acting.
#BlackLivesMatters
We’re getting ready for a Hatchetfield livestream next weekend (as part of the
#StarKidReturns
campaign). If you’ve got any HF theories you’d like us to talk about, or fan art you’d like us to share, please reply here! We might be able to on the stream. Thanks!
NPMD is similar to TGWDLM in tone (definitely more comedy-leaning). It’s self-contained, so you don’t need to have seen any other Hatchetfield to understand what’s going on. But if you have seen the others (including Nightmare Time), there’ll be little treats for you throughout.
Big thanks to the team and all the BackerKit supporters who made this show possible. ‘Nerdy Prudes’ has been in the works for a long time. Thank you for taking another trip to Hatchetfield with us.

Hi! Nick from StarKid here. I just wanted to address the distasteful, unfunny, and hurtful material in Unsung StarKid. This is material that even at the time we felt was unacceptable to include in the actual shows. That fact it was performed in any context is terrible...
We call for an END to systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken. See the demands. Sign the petition.

Just a few hours ago this place was full of wonderful people doing wonderful work that I feel lucky to have been a part of. Sad to close The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals tonight, but excited for everyone to see it on YouTube next month. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
On October 13th, things in Connor Creek are going to get hairy.

Dude, Beast got cursed when he was 11. That enchantress didn’t care he was just a kid. She had no tolerance for his crap. Chip was born a cup.
For those wondering, the ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die’ digital download IS the pro-shot version of the show. And, yes, it has a few small differences from the live show.
Tickets (both live & digital) to the newest Hatchetfield musical, “Nerdy Prudes Must Die,” are on sale now! This show, like all Hatchetfields, would be rated R if it were a movie (language, murder, etc). It’s a teen-slasher-musical-comedy! Get tix here:
A very merry Christmas to you all! Enjoy The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals. Watch it with someone you love. Or watch it alone. Watch it as many time as you want! And stay tuned for more about StarKid’s 2019 plans. It’ll be quite a year.

Ok. Here’s the thing.
TGWDLM is not actually a musical. The characters don’t express feelings through abstracted song sequences. It’s just a story about singing monster people.
Black Friday IS a musical. The singing is an abstraction/tool to tell the story.
I know I’ve got people here that have seen my work on YouTube. Might I suggest you check out & subscribe to another YouTube channel. The Black Lives Matter channel, where I’m currently watching the series ‘What Matters.’ You should watch too.
It's....a....Show Stoppin' Number, a REAL Show Stopper!

@TeamStarKid
Kickstarter reaches hits their stretch goals for
#SK10
they might release actual Workin' Boys STUFF!?!!! But what exactly....I dunno yet. But I need it.
... ‘Royalties’ is about two doofy songwriters who make zany music with zany pop/rock/hip-hop/everything stars, while having all sorts of misadventures. It was created by Darren, written by Matt (my bro) & I, features songs by Darren & bunch of other cool folks...
@therewillbsun
I’d love for others to weigh in, but I’m of the mind that a non-binary character should be played by a non-binary performer. We’d need to expand the StarKid roster, and we should.
After a month off, we’re back with
#SKpindemonium
Pack 4! It features limited edition soft enamel pins of a dynamic duet as well as a deliciously evil villain from Holy Musical B
@man
!
... It was directed by one of my heroes/favorite people ever, Amy Heckerling (who wrote & directed Clueless and way too many awesome movies to list here). The cast features lots of fun, familiar faces (including plenty of StarKids). The crew was incredible...
