Thank you again for initially backing our production of The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals! Thanks to the excitement you’ve helped generate around this campaign we have reached historic heights! We are nearing the end of this campaign for The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals: Reprised! And we wanted to share some news about the FINALE LIVESTREAM!
There is one final event this upcoming Saturday: during our FINALE LIVESTREAM! The first four hours (12-4pm PST) will be a custom Dungeons and Dragons campaign written and DM’d by the incomparable dynamo George Primavera!
Here is a preview of the setting for this campaign…
Something is going on in the woods surrounding the town of Volgrath. Folks are disappearing from the village, some never to be seen again, some with their gristly remains discovered by dismayed search parties. The call has gone out to a variety of monster hunters, as the monster has not been identified or even seen at all. The owner of the Amethyst Mines has deep pockets, and is offering a life changing amount of money to the hunter responsible for bringing him the creature’s carcass, whatever it may be.
Please join us as we celebrate the FINAL HOURS OF THIS HISTORIC CAMPAIGN!!!
And if you are following the campaign, and haven’t backed yet, please consider becoming a backer! Even at $20 you get access to Curt Mega’s incredible Behind the Scenes Featurette and your Preferred Name in the Credits!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! WE CAN’T WAIT TO CREATE ANOTHER SHOW-STOPPING SHOW FOR ALL OF YOU TO SEE!!!

Hello Backers of The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals!
Because of your support, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals became more than just a stage show — it became a phenomenon. What began as a cult musical in a tiny theater back in 2018 has grown into a sprawling, eldritch horror-comedy universe, viewed by millions around the world. You helped launch a trilogy, an anthology, and a quiet town called Hatchetfield...
And now — for the first time ever — we're bringing it back to the stage.
🎭 THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS is returning — LIVE! 🎭
We’re doing our first full remount of the cult classic! With a new cast member, a new stage, and a longer run, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is returning in July 2025 at the El Portal Theater in Los Angeles.
Only a few hundred people saw the original 2018 show in person. With your help, we’re giving thousands the chance to experience it live for the very first time — and yes, we’ll be filming the show and releasing it on YouTube after the run!
Your support helps our artists make the most electrifying version of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals possible! Every pledge unlocks new possibilities and plethora of incredible rewards, including:
VIP tickets
Limited edition merch
Exclusive backer rewards
And one-of-a-kind props like the actual Lords in Black, the meteor, and more
The moment we go live, early followers will have the first shot at the biggest rewards — and we want you at the front of the line. And the more excitement we can build for our kickstarter premiere, the better the show can be!
Thank you for helping us spread the word about this launch and see you on Saturday, April 26th!

Thanks for being a backer of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals!We wanted to drop you a line to let you know what we're up to next!
After a few years in cryosleep, we're back and ready to kick it into warp speed! For our new crowdfunding campaign, StarKidReturns, 🚀 we're launching a huge slate of new projects including a 🪩 new concert tour, a 🤓 newmusical, and a creative incubator where we'll be developing a 🎙 new podcast, a 🎀 new playreading, and a 🛸 newanthology series! But they'll all feature the 🎵 music, 😂 comedy, and 💜 heart you've come to love from all of us here at StarKid! The campaign is live on BackerKit now, and we hope you'll check it out!
🎁 Bonus Rewards
Since you've backed one of our campaigns in the past, we want to say "Thank you!" with some bonus rewards. Back at any time during the campaign and we'll send you the bonus 🎵 song download of "StarKid's Back" from our campaign video! AND we'll also offer you a bonus📍 lapel pin!
🪩 The Jangle Ball Tour
This holiday season, you are cordially invited to rock out at the StarKid Jangle Ball!! After a decade-long hiatus, we’re hitting the road again! But this year, we’ve been naughty and nice, so we’re delivering an evening of iconic StarKid villain songs AND a concert rendition of A VHS Christmas Carol that you won’t wanna miss!
Nerdy Prudes Must Die is a teen-slasher comedy about a group of geeks and their ghostly tormentor from the creators of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and Black Friday. When the biggest losers at Hatchetfield High unwittingly complete an ancient, evil ritual, they unleash an all-powerful, angry spirit with a grudge against nerds. That’s when Stephanie Lauter, Grace Chasity, and a cast of social rejects must fight to save themselves and nerdy prudes everywhere. But can any of them survive the fury of a bully from beyond the grave?
We are Team StarKid and we believe in science. Which is why we are launching SK Labs, a place where we can probe the mysteries of our universe through new experimental projects that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. SK Labs will be a workshop and creative incubator for new ideas, new collaborators, and new formats, the likes of which you’ve never seen before! Because we’re mad! MAD I tell you!!
For Cycle 1 of SK Labs, we're excited to present three new projects!
🛸 Space Baby
A new anthology series
Space Baby follows the intergalactic adventures of a timeless, telepathic tot on a quest to discover the origins of existence itself. Each anthology episode of Space Baby will feature the work of a diverse array of artists, from writers and directors, to animators and composers, all forming the programming that our titular Intergalactic Infant will consume in its endless quest to unlock the mysteries of the universe. It’s Sesame Street meets David Lynch. Yeah. It’s gonna get weird.
Every morning, Trent clocks in at queer.io, a tech startup that feeds training data into a machine learning algorithm, works through lunch, and is the last one in the office before he clocks out and goes home. Day in and day out, Trent never seems to be able to make a dent in the data or get ahead at work despite sacrificing his personal life to do so. But that all changes when the algorithm he’s been teaching seems to take on a life of its own. Sissy is an absurdist comedy about a modern gay Sisyphus, our increasingly fragmented views of pop culture, and our outlandish expectations that AI will be the solution to very human problems.
A new podcast from Lauren Lopez that will definitely be figured out by the time it airs! (She was told two very different timelines for when she had to have this all figured out, but THAT'S OK WE'LL DO IT LIVE!) Each episode will definitely feature a very special guest and the following classic segments:
