Thank you all for watching! And thank you to everyone who came. It meant so much to have you there with us, especially since I know it can be really scary to go out right now after being stuck inside, afraid of a virus for almost 2 years!! I know I was scared to perform again... but I'm so glad I did. Thank you thank you!!

The speed at which Lauren went from flirting with the camera to "NO!?! WHERE'S THE DOG!?!?! BRING IT IN!!!!!" killed me

[@alisonking4306]

lauren "don't do this" lopez

[@reagananderson1479]

😂😂😂

[@a.bookmonkey6790]

i love lauren's relationship with meredith's vlog camera

[@Watchinwheel]

Relationship? I thought there was a restraining order lolz

[@danielazarnofski3893]

"Is anyone allergic to dogs?" Lauren: "No! Bring it in! Where's the dog?"

[@frostedjosieos3193]

Clark very seriously talking about how he’s feeling about the runs, and Brosenthol asking what his favorite Michael Bublé song was, and you just watch the irl disconnect between freak theatre kids and the non-theatre kids. As I say, “this is why everyone hates us”

[@krissmith800]

First of all, thank you Miss Meredith for giving us BTS access. I must say that most people totally love the extra content. Secondly, you all are AMAZING!!!!!! I know it goes without saying, but it needs to be said so you know and never forget. The talent blows everything out of the water and what you endure - while still putting on great shows for audiences - is just mind-blowing. I know I am not the only person to say it, but I wish you and Brian and Jaime B. and A.J. and everyone would just be in all productions. You are so great. I do understand not wanting to leave the Chicago area though because you get all the seasons and the friends there and the amazing work you do with the planetarium. It is difficult to weigh all of those factors and leave them, so I get it. With that said, keep using that talent of yours. It is a blessing. Thanks again for all you did, do, and will continue to do in the future. 🙂

Lauren talking about this show's songs not leaving her head even when she's trying to sleep is hilarious. For me after Xmas Electricity finally gave me a break, the "THIS SCROOGE" parts started to live rent free in my head. I thought I was dumb for liking the songs of this show too much, but if the cast had last song syndrome from it, Im pretty sure a ton of other fans felt the same. Whoever wrote these songs. Good f*ckin job. I now have insomnia again. 😂

[@kook.a.doo.]

We love Clark ❤️

[@Tiphany_01]

This vlog made me realize just how much Starkid goes above and beyond for their shows. Even decorating the lobby to give the audience good ambiance from the get go is so nice

[@emmataylor1354]

didn’t think it was possible, but this has me even more excited for the digital ticket this weekend!

[@kage3069]

Me too! I will see it on Saturday from Germany, soooo excited

[@zira4977]

@@kage3069 wait me too!! At 8pm (German time)?

[@kage3069]

@@zira4977 Yes! Heyyy, that's such a funny coincidence! Maybe I'll see ya

[@shayne_has_landed2511]

This made me miss being backstage. I haven’t been in a musical since my freshman year, and the last play I participated in, there wasn’t even a “backstage”. I miss the super boring times, the crackhead times, and the heart stopping moments in the dark. I haven’t been backstage in a production for 2 years 😭

[@katzandthemouse]

This just brought me so, so much joy. It's even more fun after watching the digital ticket. My favorite part was 100% Lauren's face when the dog was brought up.

[@AlinaAniretake]

1:24 I know you were probably joking - but yes, I agree: Tiny Tim is the hardest character to put on screen/stage. The boy, who realises that he has that tiny time left, so he talks older then most of Adults. You did great job as him, Brian) And Meredith was also amazing too, lol)

[@sspence3195]

I really appreciated all of the descriptions of the different crew members throughout the video! A lot of bts footage isn’t edited this way, it was delightful!

[@heyitshannahmay]

I Watch this video once a month when I’m missing rehearsal/production energy and it’s so lovely

[@gaujaf1812]

Lauren Lopez's Bernie jumper😂😂

[@alisonking4306]

GOTH PARTY GIRL

[@rachelsinger1717]

Meredith please never stop vlogging this is my favorite thing. Is Brian saying "spork!" in the first half? I can't tell what word that is but it's hilarious regardless. Also I love your tree shirt from opening day and Lauren's Golden Girls sweater, I need both of those.

[@MerediddyS]

He's saying "Sport!" It's the name he gave that character costume!

[@MariaEverlasting]

OH wow this made me realize just how much I miss doing theatre. So happy you guys has such wonderful performances!!!!! Can't wait to watch it this Friday woooo

[@EH-lt9wc]

Omg the bit you had with Lauren had me cracking up nonstop 😂 so happy to see you all together!

[@atlas9859]

Lauren “don’t do this” Lopez 😂

[@rlvids9889]

I’m glad you guys also get one line of a song stuck in your head and experience the “it’s such a good song but oh god it’s been three days”

[@CartoonJessie]

I could have watched 10 hours of this - this was fantastic. Can't wait to see it digitally this weekend!

[@bell._05]

I saw the show live and my brain still doesn’t believe any of this is real lol

[@michaeldemocko443]

I had no idea Jamie was such a good dancer. It's almost not fair to the rest of us that she can sing that well AND dance like a maniac!

[@zlim751]

Looks like you all had a blast! Was so awesome to see you all live, great job by everyone, the show was amazing and just the mood booster we all needed!

[@frogicorn]

"We're here to help" are a costumer's favorite words 😭

[@boohemian_ghost]

The whole hotel situation was INSANE wtffff

[@QuanTumm1357]

Watching this again while very sick and feeling existential stress about performing in a show I’m not in. Mad good vibes tho

[@Fairyangel24]

VHS Christmas Carol was amazing! It's great to see how much thought and love you all put into the show.

[@fallingasleepaswespeak]

RHEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MY FUCKING DOG IN THE VIDEO IN MY PFP MEREDITH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS

[@fallingasleepaswespeak]

JUPITER LOVED THE SHOW IM 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@fallingasleepaswespeak]

I WAS THERE THAT WAS JUPITER THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IM GOING TO CRY

[@fallingasleepaswespeak]

I CANT BELIEVE I JUST FOUND THIS

[@KinzleySnow]

I literally came to the comment section to see if someone had clocked it as their dog 😂😂 Glad Jupiter enjoyed the show!!

[@molly20628]

Smiled the whole time watching this. Love seeing you all together and so excited for the livestream this weekend! Thanks for making this ❤❤

[@professorrock4698]

I totally relate to the "one line playing in my head all day and all night on a loop thing"

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

We’ll be staying home this Christmas, so this and the digital ticket will be our Christmas celebration this year. Can’t wait!

[@MitzyDjm]

Watching this again after watching the musical again ♡

[@jamie_fawn]

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for the digital ticket! I love VHSCC with all my heart and I can't wait to see the 2021 version. Thank you so much for sharing all of this behind the scenes footage with us!! It's lovely to see everyone together :')

[@princessict]

I already have christmas electricity in my brain for a year and I can't wait to watch you guys again in about 2 more daysssss!!!

[@ramona3840]

It makes me so happy seeing you guys all together again!!!

[@Hawkknight88]

The show ROCKED!! Hope ya'll think about coming to Boston. :)

[@argovrin8296]

So cool to see how much work went into the production!

[@ARGHHHHHHHH]

Ahhh! Thank you so much for letting us see a glimpse into what it’s like with you! You all are so sweet and kind and I appreciate you guys so much!

[@hufflepuffwannabe]

I told myself I would watch the first three minutes then get back to studying but I've watched the whole thing and it made me so happy

[@lulairenoroub3869]

Do you guys know how good this show is? I don't know what it's like from the otherside. Maybe it's hard to really know from inside the show. I genuinely think this is my favourite musical. It breaks my brain thinking about how perfect it is

[@booknoser321]

Wow, the "hopefully Chicago next year" at the end, but now you're on tour and doing TWO nights in Chicago! Loved seeing you in NYC ❤️

[@runevancraywinkel426]

months later and got to know Janaya (Es) through twitch and she's like one of the nicest people ever. so happy she joined this, she's unbelievably talented

[@MaeRoth]

The show was absolutely incredible!! I am so grateful that I got to come! It's such a beautiful show! Congrats!!

[@keikustar]

[@taylor_brook]

i'd just like to point out that meredith said "maybe we'll do it in chicago" and now i'm trying to convince my mom to get me a chicago ticket in addition to my michigan one even though the cast is the same i just need to optimize this opportunity

[@Ocean_Man]

Marleys song is so awesome, thanks for that performance. "At least not for Marley allright" and yall harmonising while Clark does the "Marley dances in the moonlight but its time for him to go..." part have taken up permanent residence in my head

[@dewyg]

Man I’m so excited, I’m gonna see it this year I literally CANNOT WAIT, this’ll be my first Starkid show I’m watching live and you cannot fathom the amount of excitement I’m feeling.

[@caeliamer]

I hope y'all do it in Chicago next year!

[@crispy3067]

This is my favorite documentary

[@rpg1275]

I never realized Jamie Burns's eyes were that stunning before

[@Kylie_h]

So excited for the livestream this weekend! This will be my first time seeing the show since I only found out about Team Starkid back in May.

[@Kylie_h]

Just saw the show yesterday and it was amazing! Y’all did a great job at just everything. I’m usually not the person to cry about fictional characters, but the part in, “The Final Ghost” where the Cratchit’s are sad about Tiny Tim made me sob.

[@mackenziebuchter8406]

does clark know just how much of a daddy he is?

[@frostedjosieos3193]

I about had a panic attach when Angela was chucking mic packs at people

[@Emma-mc2fv]

omg hold on the foreshadowing...👀 can't wait to see y'all in chicago this december teehee

[@rudika7310]

I already was, now I'm even more excited! Can't wait for this weekend. Also may I ask if Lauren really doesn't like to be filmed or if she just says it jokingly? Great video, as always, thanks for sharing this BTS video!

[@boohemian_ghost]

Also catch me shouting SPORK randomly now thank you so much for that

[@FurusatoSys]

Dylan is just everyones dad. Dressed and acting

[@pcwkid76]

Definitely getting a livestream ticket this weekend!

[@pcwkid76]

Please do it in Chicago. I'm kicking myself that I never saw you guys when you performed here.

[@scootmgoot4116]

God this made me miss doing theatre so much

[@kage3069]

I'm so excited to see the digital ticket on Saturday, it's gonna be AWESOME

[@dysenteryworld]

33:48 please do it in chicago next year, then i'd actually be able to go!
