Thoughts on Team StarKid?

[Alex Kulak2]

What do you think of StarKid Productions, the Chicago-based Theatre Company that produces low-budget parody musicals? I really admire how they started as a few college students who wanted to write musicals, but honestly, I think Twisted is their only show worth watching.

I thought their initial Harry Potter musical, with Darren Criss, was genuinely really funny and charming- if a bit sophomoric.

I've watched A Very Potter Musical and Sequel about a million times, they're my absolute favorites! I like the opening song from Twisted too, and I've watched a couple of their other shows, but I haven't found one that I like more than AVPM

Watched all of their musicals! All of them are very smart and well written especially some of the earlier things they wrote! Hoping to see them back in NYC maybe with an off Broadway show.

I wouldn't have started writing, or been able to take my show to NYC, without the inspiration of seeing a bunch of geeky college kids get the big break they got. That said, they're still working out the kinks of whether they are a musical theatre company, a sketch comedy group, or an improv/proto-Second City group. They do their best work when they know exactly what they want to be.

I'm a fan, mostly. I think TWISTED is their best work by some distance, though the potter musicals have a certain delightful stupidness.

I enjoy their stuff.  Darren Criss and Joe Walker, who played Voldemort in AVPM and Dolores Umbridge in AVPS, were amazing.  The rest of the cast was good too, but those two really stood out to me.

I thought A Very Potter Musical and Twisted were phenominal. As for the rest...eh

Me and My Dick is a masterpiece

Their output is a tad uneven, but there's talent there. TWISTED, especially is a pretty flawless parody, with a really good score.
