CINDERELLA'S CASTLE $250K Cast Reveal: Jeff Blim as The Narrator

Congratulations! The CINDERELLA'S CASTLE Kickstarter has already reached its initial goal of $250K, so over the past week we've been releasing our cast/character reveals. This final unveiling was unlocked when the campaign crossed the $250K threshold, and we're so excited to now share the video announcing... Jeff Blim as The Narrator!
The teller of our tale, Jeff's Narrator will be your guide through The Lands That Are. This mischievous bard will take you on a magical, musical journey. Jeff is also writing the show's music & lyrics, bringing a dark, synth-pop sound to this grim and hilarious retelling of the classic fairy tale.
Be sure to check out the CINDERELLA'S CASTLE Kickstarter page, where you can learn more about the campaign, the show, and the rewards we're offering to thank you for your contribution!

Remember, the initial goal may have been reached, but the more funds we raise, the better the show can be! So keep sharing this project. And keep checking back for more updates! The Kickstarter lasts until Saturday May 4th, and we've got more events and surprises in store...

"The narrator narrates the show" Wow.

[@lhumyaki]

he has such a way with words

I Like your funny words magic man

Everyone in the cast plays at least one character

[@elliehamilton2212]

Confirmed- Starkid's new musical has: Bops, jams, and vibes.

[@aquaesque3490]

oh whew, i was worried that they might not be putting those in this time

[@kanstyle]

Just as I predicted!

[@brandongamingtv7545]

...and a castle on the hill, as the story goes...

[@1Sariat5]

Thank god, legit wouldnt have checked it out if it didnt have bops, jams and vibes.

[@ellabartal4652]

Gotta say that I'm pretty sure Jeff hasn't directly interacted with the audience since The Trail to Oregon, and I for one, am excited!

[@nugget1044]

if i had a nickel for every time jeff spoke directly to the audience in a starkid show id have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[@omniscient.nescience]

​@@nugget1044 At least three nickels! He did so in Twisted I think, just before 'take off your clothes'

[@nugget1044]

@@omniscient.nescience yeah, in twisted, and throughout trail to oregon, where’s the third one?

[@nugget1044]

I am The Narrator of the Tellers of All Lore Ever. We call it TALE.

[@Tamora1300]

Just Jeff and Nick laughing the entire time

[@coyotix]

The last time a Starkid show had a narrator was Firebringer (with Molag), and the last time Jeff interacted with the audience was Oregon. Super excited to let Jeff be himself with the character that describes him best- a guy who just wants to see how things play out, and will pop his popcorn over the burning world if it means he gets to watch.

[@starskunk]

Jeff would totally be a murder hobo in D&D, and not in a bad way. :)

[@Storming_edits]

Nick I'm very proud of you for finishing editing these lol

[@EvanStrommen]

WE LOVE JEFF BLIM

[@aurawarrior1367]

Jeff has always been gold when playing chaotic characters, I so him as an omnipresent chaotic narrator will be awesome

[@Grace-53]

I love how everyone seems like they're having a blast in these little interviews, lol

[@elliehamilton2212]

the SPEED at which I clicked the notification. Unimaginable.

[@TheWiseDoge]

Everyone else’s casting reveal: *going into detail about why they love their character and what they enjoy about playing them + what they’re excited about* Jeff’s reveal: “I narrate the story………….. yes the music is good.”

[@djwilson1993]

“Can you tell us about the music?” “I sure can. Thanks for asking.”

[@MintyRatGacha]

“The Narrator Narrates the Show” That’s a VERY inspirational QUOTE 👏RIGHT👏THERE👏

[@supergurukid]

This is like an amalgamation of so much StarKid stuff We got the puppets from stuff like Starship and AVPM, we got the audience interaction like TTO and Firebringer We've got Jeff Honestly probably gonna be a modern classic

[@kyler133]

You can tell they were having a blast filming this one. Love Jeff and love the DnD reference!

[@insertcheesypunhere]

may be weird, but i cant wait for this show to be licensed. i volunteer at my local community theatre, and i know we'd have a blast with this show

I love narrators that are actually humorous and more than just the person who transitions scenes. I played the Narrator in Puffs and it was so fun. I bet this Narrator will be just as humorous, cant wait to watch the show, We love you Jeff 💯

[@lilyofthevalley05]

omg i was in puffs too!! (susie bones)

[@libbytwq]

@@lilyofthevalley05 aw heck yeah!

[@thespacedoutace]

I was the stage manager for Puffs! Our narrator was definitely the best part, and she had a blast!

[@IvyoftheCryptidVariety-zj6ku]

OH HECK YEAH! I'm an ensemble member (and also get to play Ric Griff for the One Scene he's in) in my local Puffs production! Our narrator is wonderful

[@TarunoNafs]

I remember the narrator in "Into the Woods" was sacrificed to a giantess.

[@fernglade]

Huge fan of Jeff's bops, jams, and vibes

[@DigiDestined13]

Oh, Jeff is gonna ad lib the hell out of this show, 🤣

[@chewiecheshire7973]

All I can think now is about a Starkid production of "Into the Woods". Lauren would make an excellent Red Riding Hood, and Jeff as the Wolf/ Prince would be perfect.

[@the1-upclub98]

I've never been this excited about a musical's narrator since... ever. But Jeff Blim's playing him, so I'm automatically hyped!

[@elliee884]

Starkid really just loves breaking the fourth wall, huh? I am so sad I won’t be able to see it in person but so thrilled to watch it here when it comes out! It’s so crazy to see how much has changed, even if you exclude budget, from the early days with how much more experience they all have now.

[@cosmic_tala]

I'm so excited!!!! Really rooting for gold budget and beyond. This is gonna be epic
