    Couple of things about the new cast members in this show:
    Kendall (Hannah) was 13! When she did this show
    Kim (Becky) & Curt (President Goodwin) are married in real life
    Curt was in glee! He played Nick the Warblers who sung uptown girl
    James (the security guard) has been Starkids choreographer for years
    Also Jon (Paul) is the person who voiced Wiggly in the show
    Darren Criss was also in this originally in this as a video cameo (playing Santa) but the role soon became Kris Kringle and an onstage role he couldn’t commit to so Rob took over.

    on the actual day of black friday last year i had tickets to see it (bc how fun is that) but lauren, dylan and kim were all really sick so they had to cancel the show and instead they had a little cabaret performance for us where they just performed songs from the show out of context and then they tried to recreate tgwdlm from memory in 30 minutes and it was just the greatest thing ever. they refunded everyone’s tickets but i genuinely would have been totally okay having paid to see it.

    I really love how you can see how much Starkid has improved over the years. Like, iirc, they started as a college group? And I feel like each show they get better and better. Better equipment, better writing, better acting. It's really cool to be able to see that change. I also think that's why so many people consider TGWDLM and Black Friday to be their favorite shows. Personally, I think it would be really neat to see Starkid revisit some of their older shows and rework them in their current style.

    Angela made me cry every night with Black Friday. She was such a sweetheart at the stage door. They were all so incredibly sweet!

    I'm glad you like Black Friday. The fandom seems to have pretty split opinions about it, but personally I'd rank it second only to Twisted. I think they took a huge leap forward in terms of the maturity of their writing, and proved to me that they can really nail original works (as opposed to parodies, which they've always been great at).

    They rereleased Wiggly a few weeks ago and I preordered two. One for me and one for my mom. Just keep checking their socials and because occasionally they restock. This last time they had to preorder to make sure they had enough in production. Haha. Also, a fun fact is the man who plays the president in this is a Warbler from Glee. His name is Curt Mega and he's married to Kim who played Becky Barns. (:

    I do love this show so much! And Beckys “I killed my husband” monologue was my first drama assignment monologue.

After being a fan since AVPM in 2009 seeing how far they’ve progressed really makes my soul happy. It’s so refreshing to see smaller creators having fun with theater 🥰🥰

    The way Black Friday was shot is handsdown why I was underimpressed when they finally released the proshot of Hamilton, tbh (and yeah, Starkid hadn't figured out filming like this in 2016 when Hamilton was filmed either, I know but Black Friday got released first).

    it was lovely to see such a positive reaction to this!! when it first came out i adored it but my friends didn’t seem to have the same reaction. i think it was a mix of unfulfilled expectations and the shock of how different it is to the rest of their musicals. but you can see how hard they worked on it, how wonderful all the music, filming and all else turned out. it’s so great to see familiar faces return, have curt finally join and to see so many new faces who’ve been wonderful additions to the starkid world and have been just as kind and interactive with us fans as the other starkids. i can’t wait for the next musical, whenever that may be, and for all that they’re releasing in between.

    • @seanmcmurphy4744
      @seanmcmurphy4744 3 года назад

      I agree with every word! I think Black Friday grows on you; at least it did with me. The ensemble cast has more backstory than previous shows;there is more at stake. The musical numbers are more complex and benefit from repeated hearing. I initially didn’t like the songs as much as TGWDLM but now it is by far my fave SK show. I can’t wait to see what Nick and Matt do next

  • @RhoadesLessTraveled
    @RhoadesLessTraveled 3 года назад +4

    One thing I didn't notice until I had rewatched it is at the end when they sing What if Tomorrow Comes, like half the characters are from TGWDLM. Paul's Boss, Emma, Paul, Charlotte, Ted, Bill, and Hot Chocolate Boy are all there which isn't a coincidence. They had to switch costumes just for that scene. Watching the episodes they had live streamed recently (first one free on their channel) really intertwines everything even more. My mom and I were literally screaming about the things they made happen. Gahh. I want you to see them so we can talk about them.

  • @shaydlance-mackay1636
    @shaydlance-mackay1636 2 года назад +1

    my favorite theory is that black Friday takes place in the same universe as TGWDLM.
    after everyone is replaced by singing doublegangers, the aliens just basically continued living as the people they took over, and the world is still the same, but now with singing. that's why everyone sings in black Friday without questioning it, but are essentially the same characters

    As I'm an Australian Starkid fan, my actual Wiggly I bought myself for Christmas, ended up costing almost 90 Australian dollars, with all the shipping and currency conversion... And I would pay more without a blink for my fluffy demon. My cat gives him a "bath" every night and it's adorable. Also willing to pay more for a Pokey Doll, who is my favourite of the brothers (He's the one who caused The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals/ Yellow Jacket, my two favourite Hatchetfield stories).

I also would love to see literally every video idea you talked about in this video, especially the "building a wiggly toy" one (even if I highly recommend watching the new starkid livestreams until the end before doing that, you might discover some different dolls you could be interested in ;) ). But seriously thank you so much for this series, you made me remember why I love these musicals so much, and made me discover your wonderful channel since I found out about it thanks to your AVPM reaction :D

    I’m not sure if you know, but StarKid have another series set in the Hatchetfield universe called ‘Nightmare Time’.
    They created most of this throughout lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 and are super cool to watch. They revisit heaps of cool characters and the songs are absolute bops (thanks to Jeff Blim).
    The second ‘season’ so ‘Nightmare Time 2’ hasn’t been released on RUclips yet but they should be posted later this year.
    I would love to see you react to them, especially Nightmare Time 2 since the videography, songs and just whole vibe is absolutely amazing, and it definitely helped me get through last year.
    Definitely happy to explain this further as well if needed! Love your videos and keep being you ❤️

    @BeckyH1807 3 года назад +1

    Starship & Twisted have been my faves for YEARS & then I didn't watch StarKid from about 2015 onwards: Black Friday was the musical that brought me back into loving them. The songs, storyline, cast are all incredible. For me, having Dylan back brought it to another level too. It's just incredible!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! If you don't mind spending money on StarKid I'd recommend downloading the tours (there's clips on RUclips of these for free!!) espec Apocalyptour which has more of a storyline to the show. Also Homecoming was the ten year anniversary show & I sob every time I watch so highly recommend!!!

    I'm glad to see someone else who really enjoyed this part of Black Friday as much as I did! "Wiggle" is, in my personal opinion, the best song in the entire musical besides "What If Tomorrow Comes?"
    I believe the reason why I love this song so much is that it has big Disney Villain vibes. "Wiggle" combines comedy, tension, and drama all in one song, and our queen Lauren Lopez just KILLS it.

    oh, you have such fun ideas. id love to see you build a wiggly! that sounds so cool! i love the tin can bros shows (spies are forever is a fav of mine, honestly) and since the halloween stuff is the most recent, maybe do tin can first? since the nightmare time stuff is SO new, literally out this month. and some of its for paid watchers only right now so that makes its more difficult. (we try as a fandom not to post videos from starkid’s pay only stuff bc its SO rare that they do it, its rarely a permanent “pay only” for the big story shows, and the team need the funds to continue making their great content!)
    anyways i guess tldr: id love to see you make a wiggly and my vote is tin can bros first!

Episode one of the series is out on RUclips, but you have to purchase tickets to watch the zoom videos off of their website if you want to see the next two episodes. Tin Can Bros. is also currently working on a series called Wayward Guide, and those episodes are coming out weekly on RUclips and on Spotify.
