I think it was mentioned that Linda (the blonde lady played by Lauren, a character featured in Black Friday) was one of the only people who auditioned and didn't get cast, which makes her going "Good" to the actresses being dead and half-heartedly clapping at the end even funnier
I think I should let it be known that in the firat episode of the hatchetfield spinoff "nightmare time" Hidgens kills two people to try and get enough money for Workin' Boys. This is 100% in character
Black Friday and the nightmare time series go more in depth into the lore of hatchetfield, and the lords in black that show up in nerdy prudes must die.
Jeff Blimm has done the music and lyrics for all of the Hatchetfield Trilogy (Nerdy Prudes, The Guy who Didn't Like Musicals, and Black Friday), as well as writing the songs and script for Trail to Oregon. Before then they've had many people composing, but Nick and Matt Lang are usually the ones doing the book.
"Not in a dangerous way." I know what you mean, but keep in mind that he DID kidnap Emma and Ted with the explicit purpose of offering them, and himself, up to the musical zombies in TGWDLM. Seems pretty dangerous to me. If you also haven't seen Nightmare Time yet, the very first episode goes into just HOW FAR Hidgens will go to get his musical funded, lol (the first episode specifically has some pretty bad audio issues, but if you're a Hidgens fan, I do recommend). I love Hidgens, but he is far from non-threatening.
if you watch nightmare time episodes, you'll see Hidgens is very much capable of killing people. I thought the same way too when I just finished watching tgwdlm, but Hidgens is very unhinged most of the time
In tgwdlm, we saw Hidgens shoot Charlotte (well, a Charlotte-ton), drug and capture Emma and Ted, and then do his best to surrender the world to an alien virus. Nightmare Time features a few more of his murders. So yeah, he's more unhinged than your typical quirky theater fan...
as far as i remember he said he didnt realize his advances were not being reprocicated at the time, he did very much overstep and he fucked up, but as soon as the person made him aware, he apologized and backed off. it seems to me that the whole thing got blown out of proportion by the fandom.. but granted, we'll never know exactly what happened.
You reading the actor bio's in the playbill makes me wanna dig to see if I can find a good, non-blurry copy of them to read. Cassie's in particular. Definitely sounded like it might be a Lords of Black kind of thing.
You should react to Black Friday if you haven’t seen it!!! It’s the second installation between TGWDLM and Nerdy Prudes! Definitely underrated in my opinion and gives alot of context especially for Nerdy Prudes.
Yeah it was sad to see she skipped it. Since that means she missed it in this and she can't really come back and do a rewatch. Or at least... it probably wouldn't do well. Rewatches rarely do.
You should definitely check out Black Friday, the second musical in the Hatchetfield series if you haven't! Some of the references and characters from this are from that show😅 And many people would like it if you watched other Starkid shows you haven't seen. Also, did you notice that Henrietta Hidgens was Zoey, one of the baristas from TGWDLM
When rewatching you might notice that the ghosts of the boys never blink when they're on the screen. I think it really ads to the uncomfortable creepiness. Also I would totally watch your reaction to the whole hatchetfield series if you haven't seen and the rest of the starkid. My favourite is "starship". Im so excited for the come back of the puppets.
Definitely would love for you to react to all of it! The order goes: The guy who didn't like musicals Black Friday (18:25 Where Linda and Gerald come from) Nightmare time 1 Nightmare time 2 (Zoom stories they did during covid, they're not mandatory BUT give lotttsss of context and you see many iconic characters, some you don't ever see outside of nmt. Like Miss Holloway and Duke!) Nerdy Prudes Must Die Working boys. (This was SO cool, 1. Jeff actually ate as hidgens (coming from a recovering robert stan) and it was so so cool to see some characters I'd never thought interact, in he same room as each other!) For their other stuff, I'd 100% recommend Twsited. It's known as their best musical for the most part.
That was so fun. Thank you. Hey, you know my opinion. I think it would be fun to see you react to more StarKid shows. Not only the Hatchetfield shows, but any of them. You can see how the performers progressed over the years. Anyway, if you decide to watch and react, I will most definitely be along for the ride.
Defiantly watch Black Friday! also, if you haven't seen it, you should watch 'Nightmare Time' after. During covid, Team Starkid couldn't do live musicals, so they got creative and created a bunch of stories set in Hatchetfield in Zoom calls! The series really expands on the Hatchetfield universe in ways you would never think! It starts off slow for the first few episodes (with a bit of technical difficulties as well), but it starts to pick up pretty quickly and the production quality gets better, so don't be discouraged at first. It expands on a lot of established characters, and features a ton of great songs! Whether you react to it on the channel or not, I hope you enjoy it!
Hey! Really liked the reaction! If you're interested, they released a full soundtrack for this short (those songs have no right being as good as they are). Also, I'm joining others in saying that if you enjoy the Hatchetfield universe, you have to check out Black Friday and Nightmare Time. Those give a lot of insights on this universe. And basically all the Starkid shows are worth a watch I would say
Just putting in my vote for a Twisted reaction. This was top notch reacting, and i cant wait to see your thoughts on my favorite of the StarKid shows. The deeper your knowlege of Aladdin, and Disney in general, the better...but i think everyone can find something to love in StarKid's Twisted!
This was a great reaction and you talked about some stuff I haven't really seen anyone else touch on so that was cool. I'd love to see you react to black Friday/other starkid stuff
i’m always an absolute sucker for more starkid reactions!!! ❤❤❤ as others have said black friday would be a great place to start since it’s the other full musical in the hatchetfield saga. and you’ll get to see more of the character lauren lopez was playing in the audience here :) there’s also the nightmare time series for more hatchetfield lore and stories (nightmare time isn’t a short film or a stage show, it’s stories mostly told over zoom and later a zoom-like format, made during lockdown) but literally any starkid musical would be wonderful tbh they’re all well worth watching just pick what speaks to you really! but i would love love love to see more :)
If you haven't seen them yet, I would highly recommend watching Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, The Trail To Oregon, and Firebringer (my three personal favorites >w
So glad you’re enjoying their content, even just for your own enjoyment you should definitely check out more of their content, but we’d love to see it as well if you’re willing!
I really enjoyed your perceptive reaction! If you like them, please consider reacting to more Starkid. I think Starkid has about 13 original musicals on TH-cam. The ones before the Hatchetfield series are generally lighter and more satirical. My favorites in descending order are: _Black Friday, Twisted, Firebringer, Starship, Trail to Oregon, & Holy Musical B@man_ . You might also consider _Spies are Forever_ , a musical satire of James Bond movies, by Tin Can Bros, a production company formed by Starkid alumni that includes many Starkid actors.
Hi, found you through this and will gladly watch more Starkid reactions! If it's something you think your audience would like, I think even re-watching the other Hatchetfield shows could be fun.
If you haven't seen Firebringer or Twisted, they are great. When it comes to the whole Hatchetfield saga, try to watch them in order included the Nightmare Time stuff (online performances that began during lockdown that started a little shaky but quickly got really good). The Hatchetfield productions aren't *really* necessary to watch in order, but there are so many little references to previous ones that may be lost on you otherwise. Some characters are more explained and explored when introduced, and then we are supposed to know them when they show up in a later one.
Love All Of Team Starkid's Stuff. Also Love Another Group Called Tin Can Brother's Stuff Too. Don't Know If You Know Who They Are BecauseBeca Be Beca. Love This Musical. I Just Don't Watch It. Before I Go To Bed. Or I Have Nightmares.
Id for sure reccomend watching the hatchetfeild series because there are references/ kinda call backs to the seriesand probably watch it order if you can i think it should be the guy who didnt like musicals then black friday and nerdy prudes must die ?? i may be wronf about the order but its a fun series lol
I think it was mentioned that Linda (the blonde lady played by Lauren, a character featured in Black Friday) was one of the only people who auditioned and didn't get cast, which makes her going "Good" to the actresses being dead and half-heartedly clapping at the end even funnier
Different lauren character auditioned- Either Courtney or Brooke the broke
I think I should let it be known that in the firat episode of the hatchetfield spinoff "nightmare time" Hidgens kills two people to try and get enough money for Workin' Boys. This is 100% in character
Also has some stuff happen in honey queen to get the funding
Black Friday and the nightmare time series go more in depth into the lore of hatchetfield, and the lords in black that show up in nerdy prudes must die.
By the way, the actor who played the Stage Manager, Paul Gabriel, is Starkid's actual stage manager.
Jeff Blimm has done the music and lyrics for all of the Hatchetfield Trilogy (Nerdy Prudes, The Guy who Didn't Like Musicals, and Black Friday), as well as writing the songs and script for Trail to Oregon.
Before then they've had many people composing, but Nick and Matt Lang are usually the ones doing the book.

I love Hidgens, but he is far from non-threatening.
Re-watching this, I never realized how many shots Grace took. The Lord‘s faith gave her like 10 extra rounds in that mag 😂😂
if you watch nightmare time episodes, you'll see Hidgens is very much capable of killing people.
I thought the same way too when I just finished watching tgwdlm, but Hidgens is very unhinged most of the time

The original actor for Hidgens, Robert, was fired and recast due to sexually harassing another member of Team Starkid.
I didn’t know that! Where did you find out?
Yikes
Big exaggeration happening here ! as far I'm aware it was a misunderstanding that was resolved privately, and he was advised to leave the company
@@GhostPal.He made an apology on twitter and starkid made a statement when they fired him.
as far as i remember he said he didnt realize his advances were not being reprocicated at the time, he did very much overstep and he fucked up, but as soon as the person made him aware, he apologized and backed off. it seems to me that the whole thing got blown out of proportion by the fandom.. but granted, we'll never know exactly what happened.

Yes, please
Yeah it was sad to see she skipped it. Since that means she missed it in this and she can't really come back and do a rewatch. Or at least... it probably wouldn't do well. Rewatches rarely do.
It's a shame cause to me it's easily their best musical, it's no contest

I think Twisted, Starship, and Trail to Oregon are all must-watches. Maybe Firebringer.
Fire bringer is god

Also I would totally watch your reaction to the whole hatchetfield series if you haven't seen and the rest of the starkid. My favourite is "starship". Im so excited for the come back of the puppets.
I always click “like” when I find a Starkid reaction video
26:00 Jeff doesn’t direct. He composes the music.
Definitely would love for you to react to all of it!
The order goes:
The guy who didn't like musicals
Black Friday
(18:25 Where Linda and Gerald come from)
Nightmare time 1
Nightmare time 2
(Zoom stories they did during covid, they're not mandatory BUT give lotttsss of context and you see many iconic characters, some you don't ever see outside of nmt. Like Miss Holloway and Duke!)
Nerdy Prudes Must Die
Working boys.

I honestly never noticed that every Hatchetfield show has a musical in a musical!
I am now convinced Chad is one of the Lords in Black and always has been 'one of the boys'
I love when the acting is just so acting
I haven't even watched the reaction yet but having seen working boys I know it's gonna be good.
Hope it was!! Thanks for commenting.
Hey! Really liked the reaction!
If you're interested, they released a full soundtrack for this short (those songs have no right being as good as they are).

Two Weeks Notice is my favourite song from the album!

I find it funny how everyone else looks like they haven’t aged a day and then in comes Jeff looking like David Lynch of “Twin Peaks” fame
If you haven't seen them yet, I would highly recommend watching Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, The Trail To Oregon, and Firebringer (my three personal favorites >w
