Could you, pretty please with a cherry on top, react to the musical assassins?

A few people suggested that one, so I might do it :)

[@woodsward]

Rachael Soglin (Emberley/Jasmine) is SUCH a chameleon. She’s in three StarKid shows and looks like a totally different person in all of them. And none of her characters look like she does when she’s just living her life. It’s wild.

[@Barbara2.0]

I am in awe

[@laineefoester914]

The other one she’s in, Trail to Oregon, she plays a boss mom with really the most common sense in the whole cast.

[@aceoflights.]

The chorn reveal and the whole scene is so random and I feel like it perfectly captures the energy of starkid shows.

[@avaleelong]

Eeee I love Firebringer, I'm so glad you liked it! Also the idea of a Zazzalil and Keeri spin of is excellent and I would absolutely watch every moment of it! Fun fact, Denise Donovan, the actress who plays Keeri, also was the choreographer for the show! She's also quite heavily featured in Starship and Ani as well, and she also puppeted Iago in Twisted. As for runs, they do typically have a set run! Firebringer's specifically was July 6 - August 7 of 2016! They ran it the same year as Tin Can Brothers did Spies are Forever, which actually had a concert performance after a performance of Firebringer one night. But rambling aside, I'm so so happy you liked it (and kinda shocked you figured out the Chorn thing like well done I absolutely didn't figure it out til my like 3rd watch) and I can't wait for the next video!

[@Barbara2.0]

I was half joking about Chorn, that's why I lost my mind when I saw that hahahaha But then again, this type of character is quite common. I knew I had seen Denise before! Oh now I wish she had an actual character in Twisted, she's so freaking funny! Oh I see! I would love to see them live one day 🤩 Glad you enjoyed the video, lovely

"Starkid shows are based on two questions: 'Do it makes sense?' followed by: 'Does it have to?'" is probably the most accurate review of starkid i have ever heard. thank you for this. also, congrats on being the only person who had an idea of how this show would end. it's so refreshing to see someone like the ending, because i love the ending but it always feels like everyone else hates it and i'm like???? why????????? it's great???????????? we love a good rocky horror ending

Fun fact: I didn't plan that, but when I said "it is time" it sounded so much like the song that it just naturally came out. Starkid taking over my brain I guess haha

[@mireiaalmena7258]

I can't believe you saw Chorn coming jajajaj Seriously this show is insane but it's probably my favorite Starkid show I love it so much!! Zazzalil is probably my fave character of all the shows, she's such a mood, when she doesn't try to burn the entire planet. I just wish she and Jemilla had more development, but I'm happy with what we've got. I would take that spin-off with Keeri any day tho. And anything with Emberly cause she's adorable (and btw yes she is indeed Jasmine). I'm glad you enjoyed this one! It made me happy to laugh along with you at the jokes :) And also, duck is lord.

[@Barbara2.0]

I can't believe it either, I was half joking when I said that about Chorn!!! HAHAHA I can't decide between Twisted and this one tbh. I can't stop listening to the soundtrack though HELP hahaha And I'm with you there, would've loved to see more development for their relationship

To your question about how many times they perform live: they typically have a 2-3 week run. They usually record 2 shows during the later week and use those to edit for KZbin. Source: I have been to every Starkid and Tin Can Bros show live since Twisted. Also, I would love to see you react to Spies Are Forever from the Tin Cans Bros (a group consisting of Joey and two other Starkid folks you haven’t seen yet: Brian Rosenthal and Corey Lubowich). Spies also has Lauren Lopez and Joe Walker (Ducker) from this show.

[@Barbara2.0]

So cool you got to see them live so many times! I'm reacting to all Starkid shows and also doing Tin Can Bros ;)

[@lizziebeth157]

Barbara 2.0 That’s great! I’m excited to see your reactions to the other shows! Seeing them live is an experience all it’s own. I’ve been to some shows that had some unique issues. Like when I saw Twisted live, Jeff broke the genie lamp, and most notably, I was at the Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals show when Lauren Lopez was super sick and Nick Lang (one of the main writers for Starkid) had to go on in her place as Emma. I have a short clip on my page of Nick rehearsing the choreo for “Cup of Roasted Coffee” like less than an hour before showtime.

[@Barbara2.0]

Someone told me about Nick covering for Lauren and I lost it! Hahahaha Can't believe you were there! That must have been quite an experience 😂

[@lizziebeth157]

Barbara 2.0 it was an experience, that’s for sure. I was there for a Kickstarter backer brunch with the cast before the show, so I got to witness the behind the scenes chaos of them trying to figure out what to do and the quick choreo run throughs. I did have permission from Nick to record a little of the rehearsal stuff and post it after the show went up on KZbin. Apparently Lauren wasn’t the only one sick during the run of that show. Jeff was telling me during the brunch that at an earlier show during that scene where he is handcuffed to the chair and unconscious, he ran off stage to vomit and then zombie walked back on stage for the “You Tied Up My Heart” song. A lot of the cast wanted them to film the show with Nick as Emma but sadly they didn’t have the equipment to do so that day. I really wish more people could’ve seen the pure chaos of that show.

[@Barbara2.0]

Wow thanks for sharing that! Jeff just came back on stage after throwing up like nothing happened? Legend!

The songs are so good especially when they all come together 💜 Racheal Soglin (Jasmin/ Emberly) is an actual sorceress when it comes to different roles! If you like Racheal killing different roles and starkid improving their butts off, you should watch Trail To Oregon where she plays Slippery When Wet (not kidding with the name lol).

And I love how representation is so natural. I'm probably doing Trail to Oregon next ;) And yeah, I would never doubt that name hahaha

8:15 the funny thing is that the actres who plays molag is also called lauren

[@keikustar]

15:22 that dance was her acting out each and every person in The Last Supper. The entire number is her going through poses of famous paintings; Mona Lisa, The Scream, Creation of Adam. It's one of my all time favorite jokes in all of Starkid that goes right over everyone else's head.

[@ashplayssims]

My personal favorite Starkid show is Starship-if you like Denise Donovan in this (Keeri) then you will enjoy Starship, as she has a bigger role in that!

[@spankinrainbows1587]

Fun fact. Asked my fiancé "what lives in my head rent free" to see how well he knew me. I'm also diagnosed ADD so it could LITERALLY be anything. He proceeded to do the Lauren dance and sing "I dont really wanna do the work today". Needless to say he knows me WAY more than I thought he did bc I had like 3 lined up bc I figured it would take a few guesses

And if you end up liking that one, there’s also “Once Upon a Time in Space,” “High Noon Over Camelot,” and “The Bifrost Incident.” Each has a fantastic story with amazing songs! There’s also mini stories on their Tales to Be Told albums. Highly recommend checking out “Alice,” “Frankenstein,” and “Gunpowder Tim vs. the Moon Kaiser.” They’re about 10 minutes long each with a few songs strung together in a short story format. 😁 You can find lyric videos for all their albums here: kzbin.info (sorry for the long wall of text.

It's actually really funny and heartwarming!) - The Lightning Thief (adaptation of the first Percy Jackson book, super accurate to the source material and endorsed by the author of the series) - Anastasia (it's different enough that it's worth a listen even if you've seen the movie; the plot is much more rooted in history) - Dogfight (by the same people who wrote Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, and Greatest Showman!)

And then Zazzle is just so kind of free-spirited and Mike does not care that yeah she's just going to go with it and probably did actually like Jamila but let things spiral out of control also together is my favorite song in the show and probably one of my favorite songs in Starkid

[@cjp0605]

I agree Jemilla's secretly in love with Zazz the whole time. A few little lines give hints like you mention, but to me the main thing that proves it is that she's literally carrying around a wedding ring even though she's off living with the Neanderthal's and had no reason to think she would ever see Zazzalil again.

I'm so happy you like The Twist about chorme because I also love it and from what I can tell from the fandom it's a very must either people love that twist or they hate that twist and that twist will kind of like spoiled the rest of the show for them if they don't like it since I love it it becomes one of my favorite shows it's also like I said my first one it's nice to see a video that's actually really nice about that twist because a lot of the ones I've seen just we're not fans but they like the musical up until that point and then like they feel the twist through into the ending but I don't think so because that ending song is excellent.

This is a fun video!! I really like the music in Firebringer, and I think part of it is that Meredith wrote the music (with another guy too)! Most Starkid musicals I’ve watched have music by Jeff Blim, and I like those too, but you can really hear the difference in this one and I love it!

Totally agree, Siena! The music in this is quite different from the other shows I've watched so far. I didn't know Meredith wrote the music, that probably explains why it sounds so unique. Also, I feel like this show definitely needed a female writer

May I recommend Holy Musical B@man? It is such a fun show, I really think you'll like it!!

Okay listen, you GOTTA watch Black Friday! (and it is black friday this week...) Love the video! :D

This was my first Starkid musical I love it so much I think it was it about a year ago because I watched it like right before Thanksgiving

[@Barbara2.0]

I basically posted this on your anniversary of watching it for the first time huh? Hehe

[@rockassassin64]

@@Barbara2.0 close enough I think it was basically the night before Thanksgiving or I guess Thanksgiving morning since I want to say was like at 2 a.m. because I didn't have to go into work the next day

Just to let you know that they preform the shows for about two weeks and film about two shows for KZbin!

[@Barbara2.0]

Must be so cool to see it live!

Wow, you wasn't mad about alien ending-thing? Why not? xD

[@Barbara2.0]

I'll be honest, usually that kind of thing would annoy me. But when it comes to Starkid, it fits so well. The non-sense humour is my favourite thing about their shows, so the weirder the better! Haha

i didn’t recognise emberly either but that voice is unmistakable

[@rockassassin64]

Show the joke about Kure inventing dancing and her having some doubts about climate change is because she was the choreographer of this show

[@katiey4005]

i am READY for this

[@Barbara2.0]

Good, because I wasn't hahahaha

The beginning of Chorn's song gave me enya vibes
