For some clear-up, Paul is not the kooky professor, Paul was seen in Black Friday along with Emma who were the two watching Tim while Tom was at the mall. Paul is still the guy who didn’t like musicals, but the professor is someone else
Haha thanks!
"Don't you wish that everyone would just burst out into song and dance just randomly all the time?"
I know it sounds crazy, and not very scary--but it is scary! If you think about the implications...
Promise me you’ll think about the implications!
I didn't think about the implications! Oh my god I didn't think about it!
Feel like I’m missing a good reference here that I’ll learn soon 😂 so excited!
Please, god please, think about the implications!
@@georga2020 hahahahha Im starting to catch on!!
not gonna spoil the show, but Paul & Emma (Jon & Lauren) are the same characters they played at the start & end of Black Friday, the professor is quite a hoot
Thanks for this!! I feel like my brain is having to rewire for this new show 🤣🤣
Just wanted to mention that this was John Matteson’s and Mariah Rose Faith’s first Starkid show. It was Robert Manion’s second, he was in _Twisted_ . The others are original members from Ann Arbor.
Excellent info dear sir!
@@singwithAshley Robert Manion was technically also in Firebringer, as one of the puppeteers controlling Snarl the saber toothed tiger. He was also brought into the group after winning a "write a song for AVPSY" contest, (but neither of the winning songs were actually used in the show.)
He was since fired under rather scandalous circumstances. Don't expect to see him in any new shows.
re: minimalist sets, wait til they make you cry from their little zoom squares
Zoom squares?! No spoilers! But intriguing!!
@@singwithAshleyDon’t worry, it’s not a spoiler - they did a series of shorter script readings(?) set in the same universe over zoom during lockdown, the series is called “Nightmare Time”
@@karabelle221 haha thanks for commenting so I could revisit this after watching nightmare time! You’re right! They did make me cry from little zoom squares!! Honey Queen especially. From both fear AND laughter!
That fact Ashley started with Black Friday has the nice consequence of seeing the hatchetfield trilogy in order of impressiveness
Oh REALLY?! *Giddy fingers*
Btw, in one of Starkid's livestreems they were talking about how in one of their shows, Jeff instead of Paul said "His name is Steve"! And they were all laughing that who the hell is Steve?! And Jeff said he had no idea. He just forgot the name of the main character and said a random name🤣🤣🤣
it was actually nearer the end of the show that this happened i think (spoilers below!)
.
.
it’s during “let him come”, he sang “steve’s a-coming” instead of paul’s a-coming and poor nick lang had to edit it out. you can tell if you really look and listen to that part because his face gets blurry & the audio switches to being more jaime in the mix 😂
That’s hilarious!
@@fizzycolalizzie I will finish reading this comment later! Thank you for the (spoilers below!) I hate spoilers! I didn’t read it!!
@@fizzycolalizzie OOOOOOH so that's why that part always sounded a bit wierd to me lol
Did you hear the word? What's the word? She just posted an new reaction! Who just posted a new reaction? ASHLEY!!!
The star of RUclips! Let her come!
THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!!
Y’all are making me blush ☺️
If you particularly love Mariah, she’s one of the stars of NPMD, and she’s phenomenal!
*giddy fingers*!
I think Mariah voice is one of the first reason why i was so excited for you to cover this show. Fun fact Mariah was supposed to play Lex in Black Friday before she was cast in Mean girl. It's so strange to think about it, she and Angela are so different.
Dream or nightmare ...think about the Implications ! ( it's a joke later in the show)
YES!!!
5:52 one of the impressive things about Starkid is how they make such simple stagecraft super effective.
yaaaaaassssdss
A story so astronomical! Let’s begin, the apotheosis is upon us!💙💙💙
The last remaining story to tell 😳
Astronomical.😂 Whoever wrote this song is a genius.
@@RabbitsFunWorld our lord (in black) and savior Jeff Blim. ...
@@scifigeek14 of course it would be Jeff. 😆 I only hope he knows how much he means to every Thespian in the world. 😁
This show has 8 people in the cast. And that's not even their smallest cast. I think that title goes to Trail to Oregon, with a cast of just 6 people
Can’t wait to see that! Small casts intrigue me!
@@singwithAshley It's not a musical, but Starkid's sister company Tin Can Bros has a one act play with a cast of 5 called The Solve-It Squad Returns and it's pretty good! Not sure if you'd want to check it out though since they only sing at the start and the end.
1) 4:48 IIRC, they wanted Mariah Rose in Black Friday but she got cast in Mean Girls.
2) 5:21 Few people pick up non zombie choreography but it looks very much inspired by the Thriller music video.
LET'S GOOOO!
I'm so excited to see you watch this! I mentioned in a Black Friday comment that I think each musical in the Hatchetfield series has something the songs excel at. Black Friday, to me, had the most heart. You could really connect with each characters emotions. In contrast, I think TGWDLM has the catchiest songs. I feel like you could easily sing along after listening to them once or twice. I'd love to hear your opinion after you've listened to some more of the show, but get ready for a great time!
Since you're watching the next scene right after I'm going to assume you've deduced that Paul is not a professor. Just in case, remember that Paul was in the scene where Emma mentioned having a kooky professor!
Get ready for Jeff. Now get ready again. You're not ready enough.
Yes!! Bahahah . I thought about editing it in but realized it could take away from my “real” reaction so I left it be. It’s funny watching so much at once now. With Black Friday, I wanted to wait for everyone’s comments before moving on. It’s funny knowing how my knowledgeable audience feels 😅
I seriously love the help along though! Together we can reach our Apotheosis! Thanks for singing with me!!
oh yeah!!! time for some jaime love!! she has my fav female voice in all of starkid, i can't wait for you to get to her song!!!
Poor Jaime must have been super sick or super into character in Black Friday. The contrast her voice in each show is insane! Super excited!
@@singwithAshley There's a good chance it was both lol! I'm so glad you know get to see her at some her best now!
Jaime is a boss. ✊
I would die if Damien from Smosh was in a Starkid musical. Or really any Smosh cast members!
Right?! Maybe it was just my wishful thinking? 😂
@@singwithAshley That's so valid, tbh. Damien as Professor Hidgens would kill. I'd also love to see Chanse, Keith, and Amanda in a Starkid production.
@@amberu1625 petition to make it happen? Let’s do it! 🤣
@@singwithAshley I'll sign! 😂
I mean, Angela? Lol but yeah, I'd love Damien in a starkid show
Me: Hitting every button on this page that could lead to these videos coming out as quickly as possible. 😁😁😁😁😁
Don’t hurt your finger!! I’ll get er done! ☑️🤣💙
ALSO I’m planning on Tuesdays and Fridays for release days if that makes you feel better! Don’t want to announce my schedule though and make it mandatory. Because of my infant twins, life sometimes takes turns and I get off my schedule. But I totally get being in this boat! Thanks for singing with me!
3:06 also yessss. Always love to see Jaime love. Her vocal range, and her versatility (different character voices, etc) are both bonkers. (Another) one of my favorites. 👏😂
"I'm ready to go!"
Already a true Starkid fan, making references that you don't even know yet!
For an idea of what it was like when this show was released, as Starkid fans we were totally unfamiliar with Jon and Mariah, and had only known Robert from Twisted, which came out a full five years before this one. This was also the first show without Joe Walker, who you won't meet until you're finished with Hatchetfield. (For the pedants out there, I'm counting the Summer Season as one, because no one was in both shows)
Oh! Good info! Thanks for singing with me! Super excited!
I was absolutely going to comment Joe wasn't in trail to Oregon. Lol. You caught me. 😅
I know your only on tgwdlm but man I can’t wait for nerdy prudes, that was my first hatchetfield show lol, The summoning is a really fun one from it lol!!
I also hope you atleast consider doing the nightmare times!! They add a lot of info for some of the background cast, and has some really good songs (not to mention creepy moments!)
This show has some of my favorite choreography ever, it's so fun! I guess Michael Jackson's Thriller dance originated or at least popularized those zombie claw hands and pop culture has been referencing them ever since -- I can't think of an earlier example than his.
The colorful rectangles in the background remind me of Saul Bass's work. The set and costume design to this show in general always gave me vaguely 1950/60s vibes and I don't know if that's intentional or if I'm just projecting because the story is a throwback to those old monster movies. I mean clearly it's not actually set in that time period but I think there's something kind of retro about the general feel. Black Friday on the other hand reminded me of the 80s but I couldn't tell you why, exactly. Maybe the extreme consumerism lol
On a side note I love your braids!
I think you’re totally on to something! I mention this in a later video! (Already filmed) that some of the dialogue and story line reminds me of earlier in the 1900s like 1940s to 50s! I’ll definitely have to research Saul Bass, I’m not too familiar but I definitely get the classic ‘so terrible it’s funny’ horror thing here! Thought provoking!!
The 80s vibes could definitely be heard in the music. Unsure if I caught any in story line.
Double side note- thanks for the bit about my braids! I was actually self conscious about them before filming! So sweet!🥹
LMAO @ editing you sassing you throughout the video
Perfection, I was so pissed with myself 🤣
@@singwithAshley it was very funny, so it's all good. There's another thing that you were mistaken about but I'll let you find that out on your own because I think that'll be funnier
@@kilian-one-l you’ve caught on to my style 🤣 stumble blindly… follow the light… I’ll get there eventually right?! 😅🤣
You should listen to the studio recording of the soundtrack to Black Friday to hear them sing not sick. It's a big difference. I'm 95% sure Robert Manion was for some reason not there The day they recorded it and Jeff is singing his parts, but they actually have a surprisingly similar voice.
So excited you’re watching this! PLEASE do not cut the video at the end of the last song/pose!!!! You have to watch the curtain call!!! So many people stop watching and their curtain call for this show is fantastic, one of the coolest curtain calls I’ve ever seen!!
Also, if you want more amazing Jeff Blim and Dylan Saunders you HAVE to watch Twisted. They both SHINE in that show, up there with Black Friday as my 2nd favorite SK show
This is what I hear! 👂 aye aye 🫡 on my honor! 🤗
omg so happy you’re watching this!! black friday is good, but the guy who didn’t like musicals is a wayyy better representation of everyone’s voices
Yessss, I'm so stoked for this! TGWDLM is one of my all time favorite musicals. Not even just of Starkid.
Me toooo!
Can’t wait for working boys
🤣🤣 gotta few things to get through first! But I WILL get there and I most likely WILL love it! Haha
I love when you don't pause, but your face reacts, so when editing you add comments so we now what you're thinking
I don’t think I realized just HOW expressive I was until this video! My editing thoughts: 💭 “oh that was a bold face!… must explain that!” 🤣
@@singwithAshleyI really like the explanation of the faces.
@@kiraalldredge48 haha thank you!
yess so exciting! also you met paul last show in the beginning and end also played by John Matterson
Oooohhh! Right!!
This was an immediate click as soon as I saw it, looking forward to the video
Enjoy! Don’t forget to let me know what you think!!
Woo! One of my absolute favorites. The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is a comedy gold concept, and Jon Matteson was *the* Guy to play that Guy (I enjoyed typing that sentence 😂). Gonna be fun seeing you watch him. And the various bops in the show, ofc.
Excited for all the bops! Thanks for singing with me!
I can't wait for more reactions, TGWDLM is one of my favorite musicals I'm just sad I have to wait a week for each song :(
Hmmm ponder ponder ponder 🤔 💭 keep your eyes peeled!
Oh I’m excited for this! This is my favorite musical of all time, I love seeing people experience it! Good luck, it’s such a delight!
damien from smosh mentioned!! also i love how excited you are watching this! ❤️❤️😊
So excited! *insert giddy fingers here*
saw this in my recommended and FULLY gasped out loud!!!! i’m so exited to watch your reactions to everything!!!!!
Agh! Vibecheck! I match your excitement! Super excited for this new ride!
i also had the misfortune of watching the them out of order😔😔 for me it was tgwdlm then yearsss later nerdy prudes finally black friday.it’s still a fun ride nonetheless!!!
I concur! They were so smart to make the shows stand on their own but have connections.
So excited for this!
Giddy fingers!
Hi ashley! So excited to see how quick you got started on this one. You must have caught the starkid bug! Welcome lol! I wanted you to know that I checked out the slime tutorial for Ride The Cyclone because of you saying u reacted to blackfriday because someone said they had similar vibes and i LOVED IT. I have had the soundtrack on repeat for the last 2 weeks. So... thanks!!! :D
Agh! Wait this makes me so excited! You hadn’t heard of RTC yet?! I am so excited that I, Ashley Kennedy, brought someone joy via RTC! I feel like an official cyclone now! Hope you’re enjoying your ride! It’s a good one! Just hold on to your head!
OMG, you look extra cute here! Your hair looks so fantastic, and your excitement is super cute😍
I love how future Ashley has a full fight with past Ashley😂😂
This was so much fun! I can't wait for the rest. Oh, man, you're gonna enjoy this and I'm gonna enjoy watching your joy🥰
Awe this is so sweet!! Hopefully POS Paul didn’t ruin it for ya 🤪
Definitely have a ton of Ashley vs Ashley battles… bahaha I should’ve plan into that more 🤣🤣 *in a mortal combat voice* “Ashley Verses Ashley!!!! FIGHT!”
@@singwithAshley When you watch enough of these shows, you realize almost everyone in Hatchetfield is a POS, but we still love them😁
Oh, how exciting! My vote is on Asley haha😜
I love how happy you seem all the time :)
You are so sweet! I think starkid just pumps me up and I’m just happy to hang out with you guys! Y’all bring me so much Joy! 🤩
Im so excited to watch this with you. TGWDLM is maybe my favorite starkid show period. This kicked off my obsessive love of Jeff Blim. Btw buckle up because this is VERY much the Jeff blim show. He really carries the show and does an amazing job of it. The song jeff sings (2nd song after this) is my favorite. Glad youre going to go a bit faster because that's the video I'm maybe looking forward to the most.
Oooooo secret time… (I’ve already filmed it) hee hee hee!
I love this show so much, and can’t wait for you to see how fuckin’ transcendent it is lol
Fuctacular!
Of course I wish that everyone would randomly start singing like in the musical, but at the same time my singing voice is... well... extremely bad, so maybe it's better for me to stay on the side ;)
I bet you aren’t as bad as you think
I can’t wait for you to watch Jamie’s performance in this. She was incredible.
Giddy Fingers! I can't wait either! I hated not loving her voice!
so excited for you to see this show!!! I love that you're already geeking out over them after just one show LOL
bet youll love Not Your Seed (im biased bc its my fav, one of the best songs! soo good)
Can’t wait!! Thanks for singing with me!!
yayyyy!!!! so excited to see this. and i love your giddy fingers - don't apologise for hand excitement! (i say watching this doing my silly one handed clap fidgets. but in general i love seeing other ppl being excited about theatre in their hands - i saw a show on the weekend and could /feel/ the guy next to me staring at my hands instead of the show hahahha)
Wait so cool! It’s funny the excited things we do when we are excited! I never noticed my giddy fingers until editing my videos!
So excited you’re here singing with me! *giddy fingers*
I cant wait to hear your take on some of the vocal techniques in these songs! love your stuff!
Yay! My favorite of the Hatchetfield musicals (Nerdy Prudes Must Die is a close second)!
Also, I've said several times I wish life was a musical, and my gf says I'm crazy for it, lol.
I know I drive people crazy but I think I’m secretly keeping joy in their hearts and a pep in their step! Haha 🤣
YAY! New videooo
Warning!!! ⚠️
There is a LOT of Jeff in this musical! One of his songs is funny, but be warned for the lyrics(especially ONE part) You’ll know when you hear it, but I’m just warning you!
I’m super excited for the upcoming videos!
May the Apotheosis be upon you!
IYKYK! 🤣 Best Warning I’ve ever received in my life!
I look forward to when you’re done with the Hatchetfield series. I wanna see your reaction to so many StarKid productions. Twisted, Jafar’s story (forgot what it’s called), and Firebringer are three I really enjoy. In fact, Firebringer created a few memes. 😂
Me too friend! Me too!
@@singwithAshley I should mention that this particular musical literally gave me nightmares. (It probably didn’t help that my pc and printer screens gave off that blue glow in my apartment.) My first nightmare helped me in my training on changing nightmares into good dreams.
@@RabbitsFunWorld 😳😳
@@singwithAshley you’ll see why. When you’ve finished watching it, I’ll explain more. I have my own fears.
So excited to see you start your GWDLM journey!! The apotheosis is upon us!
So excited to see your reactions to more Starkid; also, your "cover" in the last couple seconds was hilarious. XD
Bahahah! I’ve been had! Haha I was wondering if anyone would catch that! Thanks so much for singing with me all the way up to the LAST second! 💙💙
This is my fav starkid show so im excited ! You have great insight in your reactions and i like that you react to the story and the music :)
Oh I'm so very excited to see you watch this show!!
The apotheosis is apon us!!! This will be such a fun ride.
Buckle up and sing your face off!!
I’m so excited to see your reaction to the other songs!
I’m so excited to watch them!! And glad you are here singing with me!
I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM. NO REALLY! I HOPE YOU RELEASE THESE QUICK QUICK QUICK
I’ll do my best! 🫡
So excited!!!!
Giddy fingers!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Cup of Roasted Coffee!
When I was filming I noticed another reactor had made a video on this! Must be good! Excited to watch!! Thanks for singing with me!
Woohoo!! My favorite Starkid show! Let’s go!
*Giddy fingers!*
i am SO excited 😭😭
I clicked on this video as soon as i saw it. You're becoming one of my favorite reactors
Awe! Thanks so much for singing with me! My apotheosis is upon us!
Ooo that thumbnail is really cool!
Ugh! Thank you for commenting on it! Im really attempting to be cohesive with my channel decor and I was still unsure about the thumbnail. Thanks for this AND for being here singing with me!!
Crazy excited for this!
Buckle up!
yay!!
Woo hoo!! *giddy fingers*
YEAH TGWDLM!!!
HERE WE GO!!😃🥳
Woooohoooo!!
@@singwithAshley Don't distract me. I'm watching you haha😂❤
@@fettuccine_anderhummel 🫣🤭🤗 quiet excitement mode activated 🤐
Ashley, Robert Manion is no longer with Starkid as he sexually harrassed a member of the band during Black Friday and said some racist and transphobic things on social media and insulted Team Starkid after they tried to get him help so he could redeem himself. We try not to mention him in the fandom anymore. Obviously you'll be listening to him sing, but... yeah, it's best to separate the artist from the art in this case. Sorry if that brings down the mood, I just thought you should know.
Yea I told her that when she was watching Black Friday that you can like his character but he’s a very bad person who was removed
I'm not excusing what Robert did but I do feel like some people talk about him in a similar vein to serial abusers who should be in jail but aren't because they're famous when it's not really like that. Like you alluded to, Starkid was still willing to leave a door open for him to return once he got some workplace sensitivity training and fixed his behavior. I remember thinking Starkid handled it very professionally and Robert also had a good response at the time, but he's obviously gone on to burn that bridge and squander whatever goodwill people had left for him.
This is more of a general commentary than a reply to your comment specifically I guess. Just feels like every time someone tries to discuss Robert's performances there are people who don't think you should give him any praise ever when the fact remains that he's obviously very talented. That's part of why it's such a shame that his lack of professionalism (both the harassment and the way he's talked about Starkid after being fired) got in the way of that.
Hmm this is disappointing indeed. What a terrible bridge he burned. It breaks my heart to see young actors with so much potential ruin their careers in this way. Thanks for this information. I really hope he creates a redemption arch for us soon. He’s very talented
@@liquid_pig he’s come what I call a bad person purely just from all his actions and choices from comments he did make about trans people and of course the harassment and how he then went on to like you said say things negatively about starkid in response to them trying to be professional about the whole thing. It’s just the fact that he refuses to actually change or hold his self accountable and I feel like it’s important for people coming into it to know ahead of time so they don’t get disappointed later….or on social media not understand why people completely block him out now and of course why after the first nightmare time he’s just gone forever and recast
@@singwithAshley it’s been a few years now and he kinda just at this point moved on like nothing happened which is part of why we all feel the way we do. They’re not going to bring him back at this point either way because they’d lose a large portion of their fans respect. All of his roles have been given to Joey Jeff and even one of the writers who I know I know his name but it has left my brain entirely
Off topic but have u ever done vocal breakdowns on six the musical genuinely the most impressive vocal beast in the Broadway slimes
I have in voice lessons. Heart of Stone is actually in my repertoire. Six is definitely a whole new vibe in the Broadway realm!
Love All Of Team Starkid's Stuff. Also Love Another Group Called Tin Can Brother's Stuff Too. Don't Know If You Know Who They Are Ashley Kennedy.
LAOTSS. ALAGCTCBST. DKIYKWTAAK.
You capitalizing everything makes me feel like there is a hidden message in there somewhere. LMAO 🤣 IS THIS A CODE?!
I am so happy you are here singing with me 🤗🤣 I’ve heard great things about Tin Brother’s via the comment section! I can wait TK explore that! Sing with you soon!
Songs In Nightmare-time Go, So Over Our Needs! 🤔
