All Future Projects Discussed in Starkid’s Livestream today

Miss Holloween - Nightmare Time Special

This is currently being filmed and will be released in October this year. Curt and Kim are producing it in a Studio and will have a higher production value than previous nightmare time episodes. This special is an experiment to test what the best format might be for Nightmare Time going forward.

Two song demos were played during the stream which were written by Jeff.

Fancyland - Stand-alone Stage Musical

This was briefly teased in a stream last year. It is a comedy drama musical with a more serious premise than other Starkid shows. It explores the trials and tribulations of a man named Jack Fancy who owns an amusement park. It takes place over a 25 year period and has 3 main characters, although it might have a bigger cast.

Written by Matt Lang and Eric Kahn Gale with music by Jeff Blim and Matt Dahan.

Three demo songs were played during the stream.

It is still in the writing phase, could be produced within the next few years.

Glam and the Pentagrams - Next Hatchetfield Stage Musical

This show will focus on Miss Holloway’s backstory as a pop star who has since been forgotten. This show was originally written before Nightmare Time. Very likely to be the next Starkid Musical to be released but this is subject to change.

Lands That Are

The Lands that Are series is currently on hold while logistics are figured out. Cinderella’s Castle was incredibly complex to produce and a lot of the ideas they have are even more complex. We did get teased about three potential Lands that Are Projects.

The Rat’s Castle - A retelling of The Pied Piper

Snow White’s Castle - A retelling of Snow White. This was originally going to be produced in Nightmare Time format but was put on the shelf in favour of NPMD when restrictions were lifted. Matt started making a 5 foot castle model for this project. Ragweed from CC is one of the seven dwarfs.

The Beast’s Castle - A retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Recently written by Matt Lang and Eric Kahn Gale. Clark Baxtresser has written one song.

The Pirate Musical

Pirate Musical is still in the works but a while off production due to logistics. Matt and Nick would quite like to animate it but it might not be possible.

Starkid Labs

Starkid Labs was mentioned, both projects are still in the works and will happen eventually but will take some time.

[starkid-updates]

The Starkid livestream this Saturday will discuss future Starkid productions. New Hatchetfield and Lands that Are shows are confirmed to be in the works, as well as content outside of those universes!

Tomb Quest character descriptions!

[emisirrelevant]

STARKID TOMB QUEST KICK-OFF LIVESTREAM

Things we learned about Tomb Quest since the Kickstarter launched today!!

It is set in Michigan, confirmed by Nick Lang

Curt's character is Luke, and Lucian Heartstring (in the game)

AJ is playing Gary the DM and partly Terrazon (the in-game villain)

Kim's character is Melanie, and Melanor Truthsteel (in the game)

Curt and Kim are playing love interests, CONFIRMED

Joey and Lauren are playing the friends with a grudge

Joey is playing Kevin, but couldn't say who Kevin was in-game (unfortunately for now lol, but we will find out eventually)

Lauren and Corey were not in the stream but Nick Lang did say we will of course get character highlight videos and they'll update the Kickstarter so we'll find out their names soon.

The cast WILL be the six members we saw in the trailer: AJ, Curt, Kim, Joey, Lauren and Corey.

(also because other SK members have other scheduling conflicts)

Ali Gordon is assistant director! Nick Lang is director and Matt Lang is a writer! Eric Kahn Gale, Becky Clark, Juiet Park, Matt Dahan and Brian Holden are also involved on the creative side!!

Also as confirmed by Eric, the dead friend does not show up as themselves in the show, but the player shows up as their in-game character.

Some of the cast gave acronyms of some of their favorite songs, since the question came up about what everyone's favorite song was so far- so the song titles we know of right now are EOTQ, and AOWM- We may see what they are if they're unlocked during future streams.

In terms of streams for Tomb Quest, Nick confirmed they will be doing a stream every Saturday leading up to the finale of the Kickstarter.

May 16 is going be discussing future StarKid shows!!!

And one Saturday stream will be just the directors and writers since Nick Lang said everyone else was booked lol, so it will be a writer/director stream!

The Kickstarter is live now, so definitely if you are able to, please check it out!!! We are so back!!

Tomb Quest Has Been Officially Announced

[starkid-updates]

Release Dates Confirmed for TGWDLM: R proshot

[starkid-updates]

And so it begins…

Looks like we’re finally getting a bit of marketing from Starkid. So what can we interpret from this post?

-TGWDLM:R Proshot is coming soon.

- “Release the files?” - potentially news on the labs or other future projects coming soon. Or they’re making a dig at the Epstein files.

- “Gather “the party”” - suggests news on Tomb Quest is coming soon.

- interesting that the kick it up a notch and wiggly pins are present after all of the Starship Reels earlier this year and the rumours of a future Black Friday remount. Could this mean anything or is it just there for fun?

[starkid-updates]

“The Party” could also be referring to The Cast Party Massacre film but with the new logo on kickstarter being in the Tomb Quest font I’m more inclined to believe it’s Tomb Quest

Something is coming soon

Starkid last logged in to Kickstarter two days ago and we have a new logo. New logo means new show

The logo is still giving TGWDLM vibes so maybe it’s just a new logo for the London run but the yellow on top is making me think Tomb Quest is coming.

[starkid-updates]

Upon closer inspection it’s 100% Tomb Quest.

Here’s the concept artwork from the divining the future livestream

It’s the same S

Jeff is writing a new Starkid Musical

In a recent TikTok posted by The Institute of American Musical Theatre featuring Jeff Blim, he spoke about some of his future plans which included TGWDLM going to the West End and “writing the next Starkid show”

Now we know that Tomb Quest will almost certainly be next with Jon Matteson confirming on Reddit. We also know that Jeff is not on the writing team for this show.

So what show could Jeff be writing for? Here’s what we know is in the pipeline:

Project Gutpunch - sad musical, implied to have the same writing team as Tomb Quest but not confirmed. Unlikely to involve Jeff Blim.

Pirate Musical - demo tracks from Jeff have been played on livestreams but Nick has said it has a lot of logistical problems and might not happen for a while.

Second Lands that Are Musical - Strong possibility, we know that Starkid wants to expand this universe and would make sense to have Jeff on the writing team as he wrote the music for Cinderella’s Castle.

Fourth Hatchetfield Musical - Miss Holloway musical was rumoured as the fourth musical quite a while ago and Jeff is the Hatchetfield music writer so it’s possible

Important information for those attending TGWDLM on the 21st or 22nd May

There are currently scheduled to be tube strikes on those days so the London Underground will not be running. The Elizabeth Line, London Overground, DLR, and the busses will be running but will be busy due to there being no underground services. Plan your journeys in advance and allow for more time to get to the theatre.
