I am not watching a bootleg wicked on YouTube for the 27th time in the past month.
Real talk the thing I miss the most during this broadway shut down is I miss Wicked a lot. Like Wicked is the ultimate fantastic wonderful show and I’ve seen it 8 times and it’s just a joy to go and see wicked. I think once this is over I’m going to go and see wicked wherever it is playing close to me. I need Wicked to be the first show I see when this returns.
I don’t normally do anything like this but I’m at a bit of a loss and I’d like the help/opinions of others.
I’m a longtime Starkid fan and I backed Judas Redux back in 2013. I backed enough to get to talk to the team and it was amazing. Truly was a dream come true and a moment I never thought would happen in my entire life.
The thing is, after the call I wrote a kinda cringey letter basically asking if we could be legitimate friends. They never wrote back, which I totally get, but upon realizing how stupid it was to send a message, I felt so ashamed and embarrassed. Now, with Judas there were quite a few rewards missing and I did fill out this google form that they sent, but I never followed up and I never actually got my rewards. I felt too embarrassed about it to do anything. I ended up staying away from Starkid for years because I couldn’t help but remember how stupid I’d been.
The thing is, over the past few months I’ve gone on this journey Re-discovering Starkid and now my love for them is back in full force. However, whenever I think about Judas, I still have this really heavy feeling about the whole situation and the fact that I didn’t get all the rewards for my tier and that I didn’t follow up because I was so embarrassed.
Hence my question: should I follow up with them somehow? I feel bad because it’s been 7 years so logically I know that there’s no way they’d be able to fulfill the rewards, but I just wanna make this feeling go away and have some closure on it I guess. I don’t wanna make them feel bad though in telling them, I mean rewards can be tricky on Kickstarter - especially back in those days. Idk - there’s definitely an element of wanting what I paid for, but also wanting an acknowledgement of what happened.
There’s a part of me that wants to reach out to the team but idek how or where I’d go about doing it, or what I’d even say to them. Ik Julia isn’t a performer anymore, but I went on her IG and saw that she has an email there that I could use to get in contact with her. If anyone had any help/advice regarding this - even if you think I shouldn’t reach out, I’d be very grateful <3
((The reason I’m tagging Joey, Corey, Lauren, Brian and Julia individually is because they were also producers in the project - I guess I’m hoping that this way more people will see it and hopefully offer some advice))
Hi there, I have some advice but I’m not sure it’s the kind you want to hear. I’m also a former Starkid fanatic, and a Judas backer. My advice for you is that it has been seven years and seven years is a very long time. By now Judas is like a distant memory for many of them who are focused other projects. I think in this situation the thing I would do is... let it go. Your feelings of humiliation and embarrassment are completely valid and real feelings (Jesus, I have had my share of those in the Starkid fandom!) You meant no ill intent with that letter and I can PROMISE you none of the Starkids remember that or remember you doing that. It is a stronger feeling for you because you are inside YOU and the feeling is real, but I’m sure they haven’t thought of anything Judas related since 2013. Which is why I think it’s healthiest for you at this moment to leave it in the past. Contacting Julia or any other of the Starkids I think would make it worse. It’s too long ago. I think it would be awkward for you and for them. I forget what the rewards were but is it possible for you to think of your donation to Judas as a donation to something that brought you so much joy over the years? The musicals, the laughs... and it sounds like you did get a chance to talk to the Starkids, right?? How cool!! What I’m saying is... I think the best thing to do is leave it. I don’t think there’s anything Starkid can do for you at this point as it’s changed tremendously since that time. Remember the good moments of the fandom. Let this one be.
So I Just Listened To Come From Away...
Folks I have a new favorite musical
Welcome To The Rock slaps it’s so catchy
Blankets And Bedding makes me laugh and cry at the same time “so I’m back at shoppers”
28 Hours sums up what it’s like to be on a plane for ever so points for accuracy
Darkness And Trees (Reprise) is just intense
Costume Party makes me cryyyyy
I Am Here makes me sob even more
The harmonies in Prayer are just *chefs kiss*
And the mix of different languages and hymns is so cool
On The Edge puts me on the edge
In The Bar is absolutely amazing
Screech in is awesome kiss da cod lads
Me And The Sky is the best thing I’ve ever heard the belting omg the vocal range of Jen Colella
Stop The World is so cute😍
38 Planes (Reprise) makes me cry so much like whyy is it so sad
And the Finale is just incredible gives me chills
Also why did the Kevin’s break up??????
Hi there! I used to be an usher for CFA!! There’s a book called “Channel of Peace” by Kevin Tuerff with the full story. They actually broke up several years after this story. I think the show took a little bit of artistic freedom with their relationship.
SERIOUS QUESTION:
Do y’all think the theatre industry will survive this pandemic? If we’re supposed to stay away from each other, I don’t see how rehearsals, much less performances, would happen. And what if audiences are too scared to come back? Despite any precautions your theater may take?
I was just thinking about it, and kind of sad because I barely got to do anything in this art form before everything hit 💔
It’ll survive, hon. I know this seems like forever but it won’t be. I miss theatre so much but something that has been getting me through it is knowing that it will be back.
It’s not going to be tomorrow. Won’t even be this year. I’m starting to accept that theatre is not coming back this year. Maybe next year it’ll come back but it’s going to be different. Audiences, performers and all the people involved are going to be doing their jobs much differently than before. In the next few years even, I’m sure going to the theatre will require mandatory masks and maybe different seating arrangements. Not all shows will return, and not all venues will be able to accommodate the changes. I’m sure stage dooring will be scrapped, and maybe shows won’t have 8 days a week.
I’m not sure what will be exactly the future of theatre, but there will be a future of theatre. The key word is future. It’s going to come back. Life will be complete again, for me and for all the theatre lovers out there!
How lucky are we though to have our cast albums, YouTube videos, and slime tutorials to keep us warm in the meantime?
Hang in there!
Imagine how much easier Wicked would have been if Elphaba had just used the Bittenbinder Method. She didn’t need to defy gravity she just needed some street smarts!!! Throw the Wizard off his rhythm!!!
why tf are people sad about the Tonys being postponed when the other option was being canceled? this gives shows the ability to open so that there are more shows, actors, and creatives represented at this year's awards?
guys...this is a GOOD thing.
I’m only sad because the Tonys is always the day of or a few days before or after my birthday. Since I was like 15 the Tonys Awards have been hand in hand with my birthday. I’m sad that this year it won’t be the same weekend. But I’m glad it wasn’t canceled and I’m glad it will still happen this year. This is no one’s fault. This is just like right now
HELP
Musical theater songs performed in chairs or mention chairs!!
Bitch of living from Spring Awakening, half of the songs from Come From Away
I think I’ll try defining gravity
THIS IS THE PUN OF ALL PUNS EVERYBODY CAN GO HOME NOW
You know, for someone such as myself who drives around town all day with an mp3 CD filled with about 100 musical bops on it… The fact that I can NEVER include the broadway version of “Bikini Bottom Day” on one of those CDs WOUNDS ME DEEPLY. No, it’s not because I don’t like the song, or I couldn’t add it. I could easily. I just go SO DAMN HARD for the last minute or so, that I would WRECK MY DAMN CAR if it played while driving.
Hey I don’t know who you are but I also feel this on a spiritual level

I watched this last night and had tears of laughter
anyone know if there’s a way to get cheap theatre tickets in Toronto? my friend and i are going there on vacay in December and we wanna see Anastasia but can’t afford the $100 tickets. thanks in advance xoxo
Hi! I live in Toronto. Mirvish.com is the official site for any mirvish shows (which Anastasia is), and they should offer rush seats of some kind, as they do for most mirvish shows that come through here. They are usually like $40.
Now that the decade is almost over, can we talk about how Starkid redefined musical theatre in the 2010's? Like, yeah sure, shows like Hamilton and Dear Even Hansen made broadway musicals mainstream, but Starkid consistentky gave us free recordings of their top quality shows, shows which also changed the game (Twisted when it comes to parodies, Black Friday horror musicals, audience interactions and acknowledgement in almost every show, the way they function based on funds from the fans, etc.) I just want to say, from the bottom of me heart, thank you Starkid Productions
I discovered Starkid in February 2010 and it became the most central part of my life until about 2015. All my friendships and best memories are in some way attached to Starkid. Leaky Con. Space Tour. AVPSY Live. Judas Redux. Broadway debuts. Laughs. Tears. Although I kind of moved on from all of it a few years ago (twisted was the last show I watched), I know Starkid has had the biggest influence on my life, and defined my early relationships twenties. On my shoulder I have the 2012 Starkid logo and it reminds me of where I came from. I’m still a Starkid. The Boomer generation of Starkid, maybe. But it was mine for a while. And it was totally awesome.
Anyway here are some pics of me during the happiest times of my life.
I love this story so much, thank you for sharing it!
Thank you for being a fan of them whether it has been since the beginning or since last year! I’m so grateful for the memories I had with them in their craziest years but I’m also grateful for all the fans who stand behind them now. It’s something I’ve grown out of, in terms of my active following them but when I see posts like this or when I stray to the Starkid tag I see that the community is still there in its own way, and how cool is that? How lucky we all are to have musicals on YouTube. Keep the party alive!!!

Mr. Nowack — must this sidewalk always be covered with leaves?
You want my advice? Log off tumblr and make yourself a nice grilled cheese, using good crusty bread with ½ cheddar and ½ parmesan cheese. The best possible soup for dipping it into is Campbell’s tomato soup, the kind that comes in a little can that you mix with water, only instead use milk.
