Something about the way Jon sings "I'M NOT A LOOOOOOSERRRRRR!!!!!" gives me gender envy. Can I explain it? Nope.

[@unripelemon1142]

Oh absolutely same. Jon in general gives me gender envy

[@crimsonmaverick8237]

And then Mariah probably snaps you right back in place, right? XD

[@Anonymous_Individual]

That’s me during Angela’s “who will pray for you” part.

[@maem7462]

Out of all the things I’ve heard ppl say give them gender envy this probably makes the most sense. Even this doesn’t fully make sense either. Things happen and ppl can’t explain it which is fair

[@-DumpsterFire]

its in a "i want my voice to be able to do that shit but it can't cause im not built like that " kind of way

[@Black-Swan-007]

Honestly Angela's "Who will pray for you, when your body's gone" at the end is my favorite. It's SO good. I can't even put into words how good it is.

[@AngelLikesArt]

Vocally I think NPMD is starkids best all-round vocal performance, maybe because it’s a higher quality production and video but it’s just soooo satisfying to listen and the harmonies?! And the improvement of each individual actors performance is so impressive

[@2turg_2furious]

I agree I think it’s honestly of their best performances with starkid

[@jj_25791]

I'm so inlove with the fact that dead Max is just drenched in glitter

[@Totallynotredtail]

Just because he’s dead and a douchebag doesn’t mean he doesn’t get to be *sparkly* /J

[@alexnicksucks]

So the shiny stuff on him is actually the plastic from his body. "We're gonna tape him up in plastic after dousing him with the bleach"

[@SleepyCloudofficial]

He a dead disco ball

[@pidgewidget6612]

Now I need to hear both Nerdy Prudes/Dirty dudes overlaid so it’s a duet with both max and Grace

[@atlaskanik]

I’ve seen people on TikTok do that, it sounds amazing

[@specster3795]

I saw one on Tumblr that was a duet, not just overlapping them together

[@sunshinerose7729]

There's been a couple of them out there! Angela even retweeted one pretty recently, it should still be near the top of her twitter page and easy to find.

[@willmoshforbeer]

I could use a 60min loop of it. Alternating between instrumental and with the vocals.

[@Lauren-tg5jj]

This has nothing to do with vocals or anything but Mariah having such a huge smile on her face during the whole "fuck you Clivesdale" part of Go Go Nighthawks is a huge mood

[@twist_ending7545]

Look at her kick at 6:42 !

[@JamieBaxter-rq2yy]

My absolute favourite part is probably so cliche but NOTHING compares to the "darkness will save our souls" or whatever it is at the VERY END like harmony??? Killed me. Its so good. It scratches my brain and i need more of it

[@2turg_2furious]

Like I love a good “churchy”/“holy” sound to singing and there is so much of that in NPMD

[@callofdutyblackops9]

I also think it’s a very underrated offer of the play. I think that part (in my mind) represents Grace’s final descent into madness and the Lords in Black finally gaining full control over her. “Darkness will save my soul” is definitely something a dark overlord would tell you in order to convince you not to seek out help from those in the light/good

[@ahnehagen8141]

jon's vocal improvement over the hatchetfield trilogy is my roman empire like !!!

[@Lady_Ginnie]

I love the discordant piano pounds in Bury the Bully every time someone says "hack all his limbs off," lol. Also, how SMOOTHLY Corey descends those stairs during the Hatchet Town choreography.

[@EmysOnlyPattern]

YES, I never see anyone talk about Corey's risers descent, it's so damn smooth. I'm so impressed every time I see it, I straight up would've died 😂

[@jadedstarvation]

grace's part in dirty girl made me feel things for angela i didnt think i ever would !

FOR REAL i was having a full on panic

[@evermore-1574]

My only disagreement is that this is not just the full soundtrack. It's just so painfully good. And yes, Max is hot. Canon. Undeniable facts.

[@symwinter]

Will Branner got cast and said, "I'm gonna be the best part of this musical and no one can stop me." So many of my favourite scenes are him just chewing the scenery.

[@BeautifulWaterWeaver]

Can we please take a moment to talk about how Bryce didn't get anywhere NEAR enough attention in this show?

[@SmudgedSketch]

I know!! Like, that solo in hatchet town had me ASCENDING frfr

[@lawnakate2814]

I needed some more songs for him I swear, and also another duet with Grace.

[@karissacarter1458]

And Kim!! I realized after listening to the newest pulp musicals that she doesn’t nearly get enough singing parts in any starkid productions and her voice is so good!!!

[@literary_reading_corner2820]

Something about Will’s voice and the “he’s a literal monster” echo during his part in that song scratches my brain 😫

[@Maria-ml5ol]

that "darkness will spare my soul" at the end is underrated ngl. it sounds SO good and it tickles my brain just right

Something about Starkid harmonization gives me goosebumps every time.

[@lol_me8127]

Bro Angela’s ending song when she sings who will pray for you gives me absolute chills it’s insane

[@Fuzzysocksoda]

The whole reason I got into nerdy prudes must die is cause of Angela’s performance at the end I watched the “who will pray for you when your body is gone” clip and decided OK I’m gonna be obsessed with this now her voice is amazing

[@Carlshat]

I would've done what grace did honestly cause max is hot and im so tired of denying it

[@Hannah-lp7dc]

Y'all were denying it 😅 couldn't relate/lh

[@thejurijo9388]

Why would you need to deny it? It's undeniable.

I would do what grace did not because I feel anything for max, but because I’m aroace and have intrusive thoughts 😭😭

[@Arlothed1no]

Look, Starkid owes us the Barbecue Monologues now. They have intrigued me and they must deliver.

[@americaroleplayer]

My FAVORITE bit in the whole show is at the beginning of Summoning when you can hear the whispers say all of the Lord's in Black's names.

[@graceriley2500]

"the darkness will spare my soul" GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME

[@citruslllad]

16:17 unironically thought that this was the sickest thing in the world before i watched the musical in full. i 100% assumed it was some cool possession/traitor/whatever scene. i mean, it being about her trying to punish a guy for trying to hold her hand doesn't diminish it, but still

[@CleoPearleSwifte]

I think the best line ever “She bisexual and dead” or it would be “We dont give a shit about your phone”

[@DeadBore]

FIRST PERSON IVE SEEN LOVING JUST FOR ONCE, THANK GOD. I fucking love that goddamn song it is SO underrated man

[@finnsaffelsipes]

the first time i saw a clip of jon's opening i stopped everything and watched the show. his vocals are just gorgeous

[@user-pw7ko7gq2l]

Honestly can we talk about curts singing. Like he went off in go go nighthawks

[@x-ca1iber]

curt slayed in “spies are forever” if you want more of his singing!

[@HedonisticBotanist]

I’m sorry. But this is wrong. NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS “Sure I’m a sapiosexual, you’re an intellectual.” Sapiosexual is the word to describe people who find intelligence attractive. Jeff you lyrical genius. And the way Mariah sings it??? God like

[@2turg_2furious]

I can’t remember if I added that line in or not but it is great

[@asymmetricartist5647]

THIS. Heard this lyric and my jaw fully dropped

[@elicaelum8379]

I really think this is the first Hatchetfield show that has done Lauren and Joey's voice justice. Like they didn't sing much in TGWDLM, and as much as I love Black Friday, the songs they were given in that show just don't do it for me in terms vocals. This show made me really appreciate their voices for the first time. Like Firebringer is pretty good for Lauren and Starship is good for Joey, but it's good seeing them really leaning into their voice types in this show.

[@twist_ending7545]

Well tbf, they were sick in Black Friday

[@crowhasacone4870]

finally someone acknowledging how hot max is

[@Trash.bandit19]

thank the lord it's not just me who absolutely is in love with max jagermen he's so babygirl

[@Megan-uu2fj]

The very first time I ever watched npmd I was CONVINCED that they were going to kill Pete so I took like a ten minute break literally 30 seconds before max showed up at the end of cool as I think I am (reprise) because i had to process the fact that my favorite character was going to die right before my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it

[@britnicox3929]

One thing that really shook me when I watch this is how much Maria looks like Kat Dennings - I really thought for the longest time that they’d gotten her for the play and I was like damn she’s a good singer!! And then it hit me lol

[@2turg_2furious]

SAME! When I saw her in TGWDLM I was like “why do I recognize her?” And then I was “OHH KAT DENNINGS” love them both

[@octolingo1892]

I love how much of this video was Dirty Girl

[@emilym8530]

As soon as Max Jagermam came on and the commentary was just ✨hot✨ I felt that 😭

every time they give mariah a harmony it sounds so goddamn good that for a second I question it being live

[@mertku4]

I just noticed that grace is the only person in the musical that looks *at* the camera. Has anyone else in the musical looked that directly into the camera?

[@twist_ending7545]

I think she's the only one to do it in this one. But I do feel the need to point out that Hannah looks at the camera in Black Friday!

Op youre so objectively right about all of these

[@kyliesouthwick5904]

0:50 the part right after this, "It's hell on earth you know..." until they start the chorus is deeply underrated, specifically the base line, as a former alto (voice got higher) its the basic "we're only singing like two notes for the whole page", thing but the reason so many base lines are like that is to tighten the surrounding harmonies and I am OBSESSED with how that one turned out.
