Turns out Emma was the guy who didn't like musicals all along
AHAHHA I LOVE THAT
Its like eliza hamilton being what hamilton is named after
WHAAAAAAAAT
nooo its Paul, he is the guy who DIDNT like musicals, because now he DOES like them ;)
@@maca76 no, NO, *NO*
Paul some how managed to be both "die the hero" and "live long enough to become the villain" which is honestly genius
Yeah
HOLY FUCK
@@matineeman3038 I'm a tomato
HOLY CRAP
Indeed
finding out that “hot chocolate guy” is crucial to the Hatchetfield series is like finding out the bagel guy from spiderverse is “The Spot.”
and grace chasity!
YESS OMG I LOVE THE SPOT
"Grace Chasity is a nerdy Prude." means so much more now
Even the line "And suddenly I'm defending Grace Chastity of all people" hits so different now. Loved Nerdy Prudes Must Die
The funny thing is, Grace Chastity, at least by Max’s standards, is not a Nerdy Prude. She was never targeted by Max, despite being directly involved in his murder and the desecration of his body.
IK, I mean I watched nerdy prudes must die before this but like, IT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GAURD.
it’s meant so much more since nightmare time 2 😭?
@MossMighty I would say that Grace Chastity is the only character in that musical best described as a 'nerdy prude'. The others were mostly just nerds.
theatre kids making fun of theatre kids for an hour and 52 minutes
trueeee
I agree 🤝
"Should we kill him? Should we kill him?" I feel like people genuinely think that's what theatre kids say about them. My friend was talking to some kids in her class and they asked about her pfp which was the flower from hadestown and she said "Oh it's from a musical I'm a huge theatre nerd." and they said "Oh." like "Oh, you're one of them."
@@bee458 Yes, THEM. Beware, we travel in packs.

This musical is a passive aggressive threat to non musical theatre fans.
Absolutely
im not a huge theatre fan but and this is my FUCKING favorite musical in the world
@@Jackaloper Same here my guy
Even tho I’ve been into theatre since I was 10 it’s just a tiny bit passive aggressive to me

Honestly, Alice dodged a bullet not dating Grace Chastity. The girl’s a freaking psycho
Grace seems to think that gay people also go to hell. Hmm.. I wonder if Grace would lure gay girls like Alice the way she does with guys..
@@twist_ending7545I was thinking about this the whole time lol
Yeah I doubt Alice would even survive long enough to get thru the first date. At least she’s nice to Bill at church tho!
Well, she is only after "Dirty Dudes" for The Black Book. So I think Alice dodged a bullet either way in THAT timeline or "reset" (depending on what theories you personally have).
@@kigenanimation5824 well given that Alice shot a god (do the lords in black count as gods? probably) that one time and lived, I think she at least has a chance of surviving
Who knew five years later that hot chocolate guy would play a significant role
its a diff universe so it aint technically the same nerd
@@cromwellcruzI mean I thought it wars implied “I’ve been waiting for what feels like 5 years and I still haven’t gotten my hot chocolate” kinda sold that. Still different universe obv but same role in universe?
@@cromwellcruz I mean, neither are the Pauls or Emmas but it's the *same* nerd character-wise.
meh i dont know, what part did he get ? dont say marvel universe lmao
@@rakeloslyn2931hot chocolate boy has been confirmed to in universe(s) be Pete Spankoffski, Ted's younger brother. He's one of the main characters in the new show, but has been recast since Robert manion isn't currently working with them. Same character, new actor and more prominent role. What they're talking about in the other comments is the mess that is the hatchetfield timelines. I believe, if I remember correctly, Hannah is the youngest character born before the splitting point and/or was born just before/at the splitting point, meaning everyone born before her would technically be the same person in every timeline, sort of? However it's been a while since I actually looked at the current consensus or confirmed canon of how it works so I could be off. But yeah, hot chocolate boy is pete
"Why are you clapping" is honestly so underrated

@@jamilla777 I didn't say it, I declared it
It needs some seriousness to tell the story but it does not take itself seriously.
I like the implication that Paul has seen every musical and hated them all individually and as a whole
Every musical that gets mentions he says he's seen
He knows he hates them cause he's tried them all!!
I love the idea that the aliens chose the right hero but in the wrong parallel universe. There is a Paul, somewhere in the multiverse, who has seen every musical and loves them all, and that Paul will never live the dream of a musical world. His influence is so strong, though, that every Paul still sees every musical.
if you focus on the "moana" bit, you notice that _Paul_ is the one leading. Everyone else is just repeating after him cause they don't remember the lyrics. I always saw it as hilarious irony
FR!! I love that out of all of them, he sings/remembers it the best which means the song either stuck with him since the first viewing or he’s seen it enough times that he knows how the song goes
bill mentions hamilton and mama mia and he doesnt says hes seen it and doesnt want to see mamma mia but i have noticed that same thing too
Ted getting totally invested in "working boys" is so weirdly wholesome and i love it.
Lauren and Joey just sit in the background being iconic lol
ikr 😭
Honestly, I've always seen it as him stalling for time, knowing Paul and Bill are supposed to come back and could save them, but this is funnier.
"Business calls! I'm up to my ass in shit!"

To have a story where the Muscal Numbers are canonically acknowledged and have an explanation is so genius and this was such a brilliant execution
lol, I was reading how apparently _The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals_ is canonically not a musical because in musicals, within the context of the story, they aren't actually singing the songs we hear, so this is actually just a play in which all of the characters choose to sing.
@@aisleelovegreenwood6448 See the issue with that logic being so exclusive is that it means SIX isnt a musical either

The fact that at the end of “la dee da da day” joey says “quick change” as the homeless guy for then to come out as Ted, I find it more funny than I should
robert was the one who said quick change. he has to put on 3 layers of clothing (guy in beanies, cop, and hidgens) in like 2 minutes. did you not hear the accent?
This is also so much funnier after nightmare time
@@foxglove-woodscould this have been foreshadowing for nightmare time?
@@mentallyill0chill576 THE ACCENT omg my first time watching this i was taken so off-guard by that
Joey saying "my wife" after "latte hottieaay" is so wholesome now that him and Lauren are actually married.
What cracks me up is when Paul has to explain about the ‘latte hottay’ when 1. Emma is right there and 2. Ted admits after that it’s not Emma (it’s Zoey)
Whenever someone mentions the true identity of the “Latte Hottay” I always think of that on twitter thread where Robert Manion jokingly said it was the hot chocolate boy.
do y'all realize paul's last words to emma were "ok byeeeeeeee"
i didnt untill now and,, now i wish i didnt

Well played
waaaaough waaaaough waaaaough waaaaough aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuaaaaaagh I'm a cop
still absolutely insane that this is a musical where the protagonist spends ¾ of it not singing (and then when he does jon matteson absolutely fucking kills it)
ok edit it's not even that he doesn't sings it's that this piece of musical theater has the audience actively dreading the moment the literal main character sings. team starkid what the fuck
FRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
And Jon literally killed it even though he didn’t sing the whole 2 hours of this musical and was screaming the entire time, he is phenomenal💗
“Show Me Your Hands” is especially amusing to me cause I imagine Pokey being like “Ah yes. ‘Cop.’ I know how ‘Cop’ works.” And the song is just an eldritch abomination’s rudimentary understanding of what cops are like lol
Lmao 😂 I also like to imagine that he had Sam's verse in Join Us (And Die) all written and choreographed, and then Hidgens shot him and Pokotho was was like
"...bastard"
That would also go for America is Great Again too, it’s just his understanding of American politics

I love how 99% of this musical is aliens trying to get Paul to sing an “I Want” song lmao.

"Last week feels like ages ago" hits different in quarantine
Honestly that whole song hits different, about missing your friends and the simpler times (back at that beat up old house on the edge of campus)
This was Forshadowing
when it’s the apocalypse and all you can do is miss your friends and be a theatre kid, you realize that you’re more like professor hidgens than you thought
IT DOES!!!
shivaane - it seems the apotheosis is really upon us now
finally a musical about the experience of having the insurmountably horrible luck to be in a dennys after opening night.
💀
After the 15th time watching this, I finally realised that “what do you want” was the aliens trying to establish Paul as a protagonist in their twisted musical by getting him to share his ambitions with the audience.
And Paul was only turned after saying (about there being a chance at 'something more' with Emma) "I'd like there to be. I WANT there to be."
They're trying to force an I Want song!!! To establish the protagonist after the exposition/opener song....pokey is making a protagonist!!
Depending on how you see it, it can either mean:
-Pokey never knew about Paul until the moment he saw him, which gave him a target to toy with due to him not liking musicals or having major ambitions
-Pokey knew about Paul through Blinky and decided to torment him personally
-Pokey wanted to see what it would take to get Paul to admit what he wants and join a musical,
I know the lines, “We tried to convince you with soliloquy,” and “There’s got to be something that’ll keep our hands off you,” might implicate that Pokey would leave them alone if Paul joined them, but in what universe would the lords in black spare Hatchetfield without total chaos? I’m sure they meant that they would take Paul quietly.
I love that Bill doesn't care that his daughter is dating a girl, he just thinks she can do better
A win for the lesbians. (And wlw)

HOLY SHIT Emma's line of "You weren't the one driving" when Paul apologizes for her sister hits a lot harder after seeing Black Friday and her relationship with Tom and learning he was the one driving when her sister died in the accident
She's not talking about Tom she's talking about the car that hit them
Sobbing
@@Enderceptionsobbing even more
Feel like she means the one driving the other car, since she was ran into and it wasn't that Tom hit the other car
Yeah I'm back (was rewatching this again) and she doesn't even say that she says "you didn't crash into her car" so yeah definitely not blaming tom
"You better empty out all of them pockets, but don't empty out all of them pockets. Cause' we're cops, yeah we're cops, and we make sense." Is such an underrated line
This just shows how good of a writer Jeff bilm is 🙏

Technically, it’s not because, according to Black Friday (a musical in the hatchetfield multiverse) every single musical takes place in a different hatchetfield, in a different universe.
THIS IS HOW I FEEL TOO IM LIKE SCREAMING EVERYTIME I SEE A CALLBACK TO ONE OF THEIR OTHER PROJECTS
1:39:26 i fucking LOVE how into it the audience is. little gasps of terror as he starts to dance. the screams as he sings his first note. adds so so much to the performance, not to mention jon's acting especially as he switches between paul and the hive. fucking awesome genuinley my favorite musical ever
I have a theory, the homeless guy was never even infected.
Explain
EmmaLove 14 he just heard people singing and wanted to get in on that.
Lol
please elaborate
Are you talking about wwZ ?
Paul is something I’d like to call a bold introvert he straight up said no when people asked him to do things
I'm the same, so I finally feel represented
Introvert doesn’t mean shy though. That’s why we have the word shy.
@@theforeverfalling I'd call him more awkward to be honest, he's less shy and more just done with other people.
What I dream of doing
Be like Paul Matthews, kids. Know what your boundaries are and exercise them.
Rewatching this after NPMD, it's crazy how everything ties together
Right?! Like this was so planned and cool dude! That’s wild!
okay paul is my most favourite character in this musical so lemme gush abt him real quick because something i picked up on upon rewatching is how protective and brave he is when it comes to the ppl he cares abt
like,, he seems incredibly introverted and like very much not a people person but he cares SO much about his friends. when he realises Emma isn't singing like everyone else, his first instinct is to take her to a safer spot of the coffee shop and tell her about what's going on. the moment Emma's coworkers start to get all creepy and musical-y he jumps out of his chair and is ready to run to save Emma at any second. when Sam shows up and starts singing he instantly grabs onto Charlotte, leads her away from her infected husband and keeps a protective arm around her for as long as he can. when Bill finds out his daughter is trapped at Hatchetfield High, he says himself that he knows it's likely Bill won't survive while trying to save her, so he goes with him. Paul has as much experience with guns and fighting singing zombies as Bill does, yet he still goes to be there to protect Bill as much as he can. when McNamara tells him abt the helicopter he's instantly asking if he can save Emma too, and even though he didn't ask about Ted in that moment, when he goes back he's instantly fully ready to save Ted too
Paul is such a hero from beginning to end and i absolutely love the way he was written. he's not super loud about his confidence and doesn't seem like he considers himself to be brave, but he's so sure of himself as a person and the moment there's any sign of danger he's front and centre ready to fight even if he doesn't know how to because he wants to help his friends. I LOVE HIM
YOURE SO RIGHT AND CORRECT DUDE LIKE DJDJJSDJ
REALLLL, HE'S SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER
Omg, you just blow my mind😮
His character is well written. He is the perfect embodiment of "courage", capable of doing things even when it scares the shit out of him. So while he is not a very confident or powerful hero, he is someone who can choose to put his fear aside and do what's right. It's a very admirable trait to have.
Is everyone forgetting that we’re getting this masterpiece on youtube FOR FREE??

“I WILL NEVER BE A PART OF A MUSICAL!”
_- Paul, he spoke too soon_
Yea Because he was in a musical as he said that :D
more like too late if you think about it... but he didn't know that... THIS MUSICAL HAS A WHOLE NEW LAYER
I love how "La Dee Dah Dah Day" is basically Pokey having a blast confusing and making fun of Paul, effectively playing with his prey instead of assimilating him straight away because it's so much fun to drag it out and torture this guy. Same for "What do you want, Paul?", Pokey already knows, he just wants Paul to admit what it is before it's inevitably ripped from him. Paul wants Emma, he dies trying to save her, and his body is used to taunt her and kill her afterwards. And, Paul's literal worst nightmare and the one thing he absolutely does NOT want is anything related to musicals, and he's forced by this Eldritch creature to live the rest of his existence inside a musical hivemind. The writing in this musical still drives me crazy to think about to this day.
I KNEW it was Pokey! I wasn’t sure if one of the Lords in Black caused the meteor (tho I was suspicious), but the fact that Pokey’s responsible for the invasion brings me so much personal fulfillment
When did it get established in this musical which one of the Lords of Darkness is doing it all? I need the lore 😀
@@jule4772its generally assumed its pokey because the goop is blue and pokey looks like a musical theatre kinda guy, plus in npmd he references lines from these songs where wiggly references lines from black friday, where he tries the whole apocalypse schtick
@@somnigenic ah, okay, that makes so much sense. Thank you for explaining!
Just to make something abundantly clear because it gives me chills thinking about it now, every character except Paul got their "musical want" by the end of the story, but all with a twisted outcome from the Chorusites. (Is that a good name for the monster?) Ted was "saved" by the government, Charlotte "fixed" her marriage, Hidgens both reunited with his "college friends" and got to perform his musical, Bill got his "daughter" back and (literally) reconnected with her, and Emma "died" outside Hatchetfield.
And if we go by the opening number, as well as the sequel, _Black Friday,_ Paul also got what he wanted in his "I want" song. Emma not only becomes a singing zombie too, but she also becomes, well, _something more_ with him.
Maybe an alien invasion is what the world needs
Not Mr. Davidson. He never got what he truly wanted
@@rebeccamorris3290no he definitely got it but it didn't fit the song format so they skipped it
@@abdulazizmohammed8797I demand the cut songs be released
I love how Paul's reaction to everything is "How about an iced caramel frappe, nothing better"
Erowyn Steinert Paul is me I am Paul, we are one
It's even better because he only likes black coffee
Bill: ( about to shoot himself )
Paul: how about an iced caramel frappe nothin better
How many costume changes do you want?
Starkid: yes
@Sarah Hamilfan Hell yeah.
For real tho Robert has like 4 changes that are just back and forth between hidgens and hcb 😂
for me the most impressives are mariah's changes during the meteor crash, she has to be in greenpeace's costume, then zoey's, then alice's in like.... idk, 2 minutes?
jeff😂
Kamilly Vitória i think even less 😂
Its been five years and i cannot get over Joey's background acting as Ted during both "Show Me Your Hands" and "Show Stoppin' Number". He may be in the middle of the musical apocalypse but he is having a great time.
Love the foreshadowing in the title, "The guy who DIDN'T like musicals", key word Didn't is past tense meaning something changed
Emma:should I take this chair?
Paul: *yes*
That’s the best way to get a prop off the stage I’ve seen
Ted: Oh! I'll get the piano!
XD
and the spiritual successor:
_should we take these boxes with us???_
are you a hognose snake? Cause if so will you be my pet
lombardi yes the black friday heir
agreed😂
I’d like to imagine that every time Mr Davidson calls someone into his office then he calls his wife and she just gets more and more frustrated
Hahaha! And it's the same "uhhhh I forgot" every time
I accept this. This is now canon, nothing else matters.
This is my new head cannon
Mia McM i like the idea that she’s freaking out about the aliens and asking if he’s ok but he’s just vibing
"WHAT THE HELL, BABE"
1:28:44 "Should I take this chair!? I'll get the piano!" So fucking funny, and lines born of necessity I'm sure, how else to clear the stage and also make it hilarious and make sense. So fucking good lmao
15:03 I just realized Zoey told Emma, whose sister recently died in a car accident, that she didn’t want to crash and die in her car.
💀😭
Oh fuck 💀
Aww he’s singing to her!

I think Sam licked it
I like to think the instruments come from a group of infected who’s job is to *specifically* just play instruments while hiding from non-infected
absolutely
I believe the canon is every single song is instrumental to non-infected. We the audience are infected so, we hear them.
@@Chicken_Parmithen how do they get infected :,D
Rewatching this it occurred to me around Cup of Roasted Coffee that it’s actually pretty odd that Emma did pass the bad singing test from professor Hidgens given that the character actually can sing and has previously starred in a musical.
I’m now personally headcannoning that she intentionally sang badly to not get shot.
I mean
I feel like ANYONE would in that situation
Alice says Sam always was a little flat, but had the voice of an angel after he got infected. So infected people wouldn't (be able to) sing out of key
@@yaydiddle charlotte*
It might have also just been that she was caught of guard and didn't know the music
“bill, ted... uh, emma’s boss?”
“that’s right, paul, all of your best friends are here”

The audience laughing at the end clearly dont understand how deeply terrifying that is. THEY DIDNT THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS
The audience are infected. The show is being put on by the aliens, for other aliens, after they took over the world.
@@brch2 what about Emma?
@@squippites7356 In the play, she's acting out a role... but the role is a recreation of what really happened in their world.
@@squippites7356 Yeah, the aliens are reenacting what happened.
@@brch2 Wait, but, how would they know what happened before the meteor struck? They would have no way to tell.
It has actually been five fucking years between this musical and Nerdy Prudes Must Die’s release.
Canonically. Peter has actually been waiting 5 fucking years for his goddamned hot chocolate.
In a meta way, yeah. Though in-universe it would've just been two years (tgwdlm is in 2018 and npmd is in 2020)
So, he has been waiting two years, but it felt like five
YES FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED
@@twist_ending7545ohhhh so Alice would already be graduated in NPMD? I was thinking about if she’d be in any their classes in their universe (not in the actual musical cause Mariah was playing Steph) but she’d already be graduated and in college?
i enjoy the idea that paul became the new center of the hivemind after busting open the meteor. no other explanation for how the infection could sneak into the mainland without killing people and singing. it must have learned restraint from paul.
plus if one guy with grenades could get past its defenses and reach the vulnerable core, then they absolutely NEED restraint in order to covertly take over the world. Paul would just get hydrogen bombed if they paraded him as the new core.
Wait this theory is cool af
I love the fact that the two main theories about the ending are either that Paul survived or is straight up the new core of the infection.
Other (maybe related? Idk) thing: I forgot that Ben Bridges existed, he’s played by Jon, Emma thinks it’s Paul. Emma received another name (Kelly), so did it work the same way with Paul?
I remembering hearing that Starkid said it took Paul like 2 weeks to take over the world as the new brain

Omg you are a genius
i mean it’s not that far off from my life- last time i had a fever i sang deliriously for two hours
Theatre kids are just the offspring of these aliens
that could be literally me, everytime im even close to saying the word ''musical'' my friends know im gonna force them to listen to it. Also, there are a lot of times when i just go home, put some songs from musicals and play every role and character and i look like im crazy...
They ain't found me yet but when they do they gon be surprised!

Paul: *Dies*
Audience: *Laughs*
Emma: *Dies*
Audience: *Claps*
The audience is all already infected. The play is about a play being put on by the aliens after the apotheosis. That's basically what the entire opening song is telling us.
brch2 *shit*
@@brch2 Holy *fUCK*
brch2
Sign me up, I’d willingly sing with them and help end the world
Because Paul dies saying ‘I don’t like musicals’ which is funny and Emma died at the end of the show, meaning the audience is going to clap because TGWDLM is GOLD
I’m straight.
Straight-up gay for Lauren Lopez.
Me though 😂❤️
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
I'm straight.
Straight up bisexual for Lauren and Robert and Jaime
Yup
Same
the funniest part is that this IS terrifying if you think of the implications
I think I finally got the true meaning behind everything in this when I watched it twice in a row as a continuous loop. They say this is the last remaining story to tell, not because it's the only thing that hasn't been turned into a musical in the ironic sense, but literally it is the last story of resistance the aliens faced before ending the world and its infecting new people through the musical itself, using the puppets of hatchetfield in a sick twist of tragic irony.
This is why I think that, chronologically, TGWDLM is the last musical to watch if you’d hypothetically did a marathon of all the existing musicals including NMT both seasons
This musical is very accurate to how normal people think of theatre kids singing 24/7
I’m not sorry.
Neither am I.
Neither am I, too.
Neither am I.
Yeah I’m driving my family crazy in quarantine 😂
Just realized that every song in this musical is a villain song
Because the musical itself is the villain
Except for Show Stopping Number. Hidgens is a hero. My hero
Humanity's hero, Professer Henry Hidgens
Just to accentuate the fAct that musicals are evil
Opening to moana was the best villain song
Emma’s deadpan expression during ‘Cup of Roasted Coffee’ fucking kills me every time, 10/10
i need everyone watching this to know that i did my final presentation for my english class on how this musical is loosely inspired by Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”… i got an A
You are an inspiration for doing that
that's awesome
Wow I guess you are right…now I just gotta figure out what tf was happening in that book and come back to figure out this
WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Ok genuinely curious, what was your reasoning behind this? That sounds like a sick essay
Professor Hidgens:
Me, wistfully and amazed: _you go, you funky tall theatre man._
Depression:
Hidgens: imma bout to end this mans whole career
Hidgens is honestly an icon
"You funky tall theatre man" is my new favourite sentence.

COSMO I FOUND YOU
Nerdy prudes spoilers:
It kinda sucks knowing that hot chocolate guy was peter because that means he was one of the first dead in this timeline. Actually, teds' whole rant about "people who are alive and people who were dead" after they learned that everyone infected was dead probably stemed from him seeing his little brother on main street singing and dancing. Hidgens basically (indirectly) told ted peter was dead and wasnt coming back, and while ted was processing that (in his dick way) he lashed out on bill who expressed fear that his daughter might be dead, and ted just exploded with his fear and thoughts. Anyway mindless ramble over !
😭😭😭😭
Wait, how did we find out Ted’s brother is Peter?? :0
@@maddieandtherose
Well they have the same last name for one,
but it's also confirmed in nightmare time: abstinence camp, where Ted drops him off.
I’ve seen this countless times but I just noticed that when Paul’s boss (played by Jeff Blim) is singing “What do you Want, Paul?”, Paul can’t think of anything interesting to say. Then later, General McNamara (also played by Jeff Blim) asked Paul if there could be something more between him and Paul, and Paul says “I want there to be”. Paul finally has a motivation and the aliens use that against him and Emma later.
AAAAA GOOD DETAILLLL god i love this show
Jon Matteson: is a great singer
Also Jon Matteson: gets a role in which he sings 2 songs and hates musicals

Luka *squak!* PIECE AH SHIT!
Jon Matteson is such a good actor that his roles in other shows makes me think "Why is he here? He hates these."
One little note I noticed is that Ted and Emma both mention a Starbucks across the street, but they were a block apart when they said it, which means that there are two Starbucks's within a block of each other. Pretty realistic lol
That's pretty funny though when you consider that Hatchetfield is supposed to be this little town
@@Britni4795And yet entirely believable
I thought they were both referring to the same Starbucks. Ted says he knows why Paul goes to Beanies even though there is a Starbucks across the street (from Beanies). Hmmm... 🤔
For a biology professional who prepares for the apocalypse, and believes the goo to be a dangerous alien pathogen, he seems very eager to stick his unprotected hands in it and sniff it.
I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud.
I mean, he seemed very into the whole “hive mind” thing...
Good thing he wasn't a geologist. He might have tried to *lick* the blue shit.
He also sang show stopping number
@@ShadyBun I loved that damn song so much... He may have been a villian... BUT DAMNNN DOES HE KNOW HOW TO MOVE!!
The amount of regret and annoyance at life when paul says "lattay hottay" is basically when you wake up and realize you have to do the things you hate again
i was very uncomfortable during that moment
Emma Perkins haha
@Dr. Diofenshmirtz ... the fuck????
i love that even emma says nora as a responce to lattay hottay
@Dr. Diofenshmirtz what the fuck are you saying
“Grace Chastity is a nerdy prude” !!! How long have they been planning the hatchetfield series?
Lol, yeah?! I love how genius they are to have references to other musicals so that people come back to watch them more often.
Well they mentioned on one of the livestreams that the musicals actually got written in reverse order, with Nerdy Prudes being first, then Black Friday and then the Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
@Mossishere if theres any chance you could point me to where i could find this clip or video, id appreciate it!
Nerdy Prudes was conceptualized first I think
“We’re gonna kick your ass and then we’re gonna fucking kick your ass” BEST LYRICS TO A SONG EVER 😭😭
in the same show as 'the final solution is a charted course at the whim of our own evolution', Jeff Blim can do it all
It's like Black Friday with "I'll destroy everything and then I'll destroy everything"
When I clicked on this musical, I was expecting a Christmas carol type story with a grumpy old man who learns about the power of music and friendship, not the five stages of grief personified through jazzy musical theater with a dash of existential terror.
I thought it was gonna be like Green eggs and ham, with the people encouraging him with different kinds of music and him not liking it
You clearly didn’t think about the implications
I thought A similar thing. I thought he was guy that hated singing and dancing, While the rest of the characters sang dance all the time to express their extreme emotions. I thought at some point it was going to become a murder plot where they murder Paul because he wasn’t dancing and singing and joining the musical.
