It's amazing to see the amount of thought that goes into something like that; getting the little things, that the audience doesn't even *consciously* realise they're experiencing (like the intertwined musical themes), just perfect. :)
We're new to the musical theatre network and we're currently writing a musical of our own :) Just wanted to say that this video really inspired us to push ourselves out of our comfort zone when it comes to composing. Like you, we've never actually done this before so it can seem daunting at times, but we're really getting into our stride! Thanks for inspiring us, and have a look at the songs we've written so far on our musical journey! (They're on our channel) From the Moongod team
So when I saw that this was 19 minutes I was like... should I really spent 19 minutes of my life watching this? I decided yes because I love AJ, Carlos, & Ali. So I started watching it and I look down to see how much longer & I am already half way done! This was so short! lol But so good!
this randomly popped up in my recommended last year and through this i have discovered tha los, starkid & tin can bros. aj, ali and carlos (and now some of the others i've discovered) have challenged, inspired and encouraged me by their wisdom and openness to share their experiences. these are some clever folk! (understatement of the year). i am very grateful to have found this. also, they look and sound EXACTLY the same! so crazy.
You three are an incredible inspiration to me. I have some crazy ideas, but you've helped me see that even crazy ideas can be worth pursuing. The musical sounds wonderful and I hope that I can see it someday. Good luck, here and beyond!
This was helpful! I just started writing a musical (with no theatre background). Wish I had a couple people to bounce idea's off like this. Fortunately I'm only writing to hopefully see it in my local melodrama, no need to orchestrate. Just need to make some piano accompaniment (well within my talents). Such a fun art form!
Has A.J Holmes managed to return to this project, with his current commitment as Elder Cunningham in Book of Mormon? btw, I was interested in BOM when I heard A.J was going to be in it.
cool how every few years i stumble back to this video and have an epiphany recognizing another one of these three people, first carlos with the flash, then aj from a festival i saw where he was an accompanist, then ali from ucb improv (and obviously they're all affiliated with starkid but i never got sucked into that)
When it's two am and you started writing a musical of your own with some friends through google docs and the anxiety starts kickn' in. XD. But really, this helps.
I’m just sitting here waiting for AJ to go: If I could do anything, I think I would... shrink myself, to the size of a mouse.. I’d leave the world of men behind... forever! And live amongst the mice... And I would bring technology, and Art to those uncultured swine... I would build tools for their mouse hands, out of toothpicks and marshmallows... And I would be their king.. NAY! THEIR PRINCE.. GILDEROY THE MOUSE PRINCE Ruling from my grand castle, inches high, carved from the finest cheeses .. And there I would dwell with my three mouse-wives... and my twelve mouse concubines... oh! Heheheheheheh... Oh but the wars we’d have with the frogs .. Terrible!.. Just terrible!.. The atrocities they’ve seen... Yes!... That is my dream!..
I think it was filmed but I don’t think they released it on TH-cam like the StarKid shows were because, like they say, once it was performed it needed a lot more editing. After that I think they just ran out of time and opportunities to run the show.
All Starkids so proud!

AJ: “While learning, we were somehow writing the answer”
Ali & Carlos: “Woah”

99% carlos doesnt get older. He just gets YOUNGER.

I love carlos valdes to much
Wow! I loved this mini-musical about the making of musical!
When Vanessa and Joey's Heart unite.
Kayla Egan true but that’s Vanessa not her heart
thumbs up for joeys heart, Vanessa, and the other amazing guy that wrote the music(Carlos)!!! We are so proud! like if you got the reference ;)

12:33
"So now, we edit it."
"Honeymoon OVER."

im shook. i watched this so many years ago before i had even heard of starkid and now i love them and... wow this is crazy
Now I know how the Lang Bros feel!
I LOVE their harmonies

"Lets FLASHback" 1:56
the talent, the thought, the *time crunch*
I’m in tears it’s so good

The amount of talent they all have ❤
Carlos is handsome with short hair too!! Idk which I like better on him short or long
Incredible!!!!! LOVE these three brilliant creatives..... Love GIBSON FLECK! (partial to Caroline, too!!!!!)
Damn....Cisco can sing...
hartley: little ciscito
THEY DID A TED TALK??????
I’m crying, look at them being iconic
1:57 "lets flashback"
well
ok
he did a ted talk?? what
These guys are such big inspirations.
Wow, amazing, that play sounds interesting, i'd love to see it!
I would love to see their musical :)
Somehow I don't think there's a limit to how many times I can watch this video
cool how every few years i stumble back to this video and have an epiphany recognizing another one of these three people, first carlos with the flash, then aj from a festival i saw where he was an accompanist, then ali from ucb improv (and obviously they're all affiliated with starkid but i never got sucked into that)
I tried to write a musical once.
It was literally the worst thing I'd ever created.
This is really interesting though!
try again
what was it about?
C'mon, elevator pitch it to us! I've literally never been more intrigued in my life!
3years later: DOOOOO it!
6 years later im so interested in this mystery muscal
I take the time to rewatch this about once a year. It doesn't cease to amaze and inspire. I wonder, is Gibson any closer to finding a home?
When it's two am and you started writing a musical of your own with some friends through google docs and the anxiety starts kickn' in. XD. But really, this helps.
Cisco!!
THANK YOU.
you guys inspire me and make me jealous at the same time. I wish I could do what you did at any age.
SO GREAT
this is what i'd like to know: why wasn't I invited to this musical-writing sesh in AJ's bedroom?
*the starkid fandom has entered the chat*
I love you, AJ.
wait but can i see this musical please you cant tease me like that bro
I’m just sitting here waiting for AJ to go: If I could do anything, I think I would... shrink myself, to the size of a mouse..
I’d leave the world of men behind... forever! And live amongst the mice...
And I would bring technology, and Art to those uncultured swine...
I would build tools for their mouse hands, out of toothpicks and marshmallows...
And I would be their king..
NAY!
THEIR PRINCE..
GILDEROY THE MOUSE PRINCE
Ruling from my grand castle, inches high, carved from the finest cheeses ..
And there I would dwell with my three mouse-wives... and my twelve mouse concubines... oh! Heheheheheheh... Oh but the wars we’d have with the frogs .. Terrible!..
Just terrible!..
The atrocities they’ve seen...
Yes!...
That is my dream!..
The piano guy reminds me so much of Zachary Levi
Awesome!!! Love this....
You guys are amazing! Great job!!! :D
Tomorrow Devin Lytle will be giving a ted talk at U of M as well!!!
This was about five years ago.. I'm curious to hear an update. What happened??
Carlos = Cisco of the Flash, AJ Holmes = Greatest Elder Cunningham the world has seen from the Book of Mormon
I turned on the video and wondered where I had heard that guy's voice before... Turns out I had heard it live!
Or STARSHIP!!! That's it!!
1:57
HAH HE SAID IT
HE SAID 'FLASH'-BACK
Why is my doppleganger named Carlos? And what did he do to my hair? Oh boy, this is gonna ruin my reputation
@@ciscoramon2498
oh my glob cisco ramon replied to my comment
Idea 2 is Oliver Twist :D
such inspirational people
ali works at my college!!! (amda)
6:21 The fact that they wouldn't say the name of the show is so funny to me
Was it MAMD? Cause I’d understand why they wouldn’t want to explain all that. 😂
@@meepmeeper9210 It is! Which is why it's funny
Cisco ramon? Is that you
When was the show made and/or can I still see it XD
OT3?
The tune at 7:51 sounds familiar. Is that in AVPM?
Sounds a bit like Twisted.
What was the name of the musical? I hope they filmed it :D
Gibson Fleck
I think it was filmed but I don’t think they released it on TH-cam like the StarKid shows were because, like they say, once it was performed it needed a lot more editing. After that I think they just ran out of time and opportunities to run the show.
just sayin that chord pattern didn't have a minor chord in it :/ . It was D, F, and G
Harry Fiedler the F comes from the D minor scale. If it were all in D major the F would be F-sharp diminished
Harry Fiedler and
my music teacher refered me to this video for sum homework,
have no clue how this is supposed to help me :/
get this produced, cowards
Can these 3 please star in Title of Show? :)
@kittycatwindow didn't seem like u were joking. oh well w.e
200th like! 0 dislikes!
@912pinkturtle sorry.
@912pinkturtle doesn't know you.
@912pinkturtle Funny, because I was joking when I said that. I guess joking means I have no sense of humor. :/
God, the quality on this is horrible, and this is only three years prior to the Flash.
Cisco with short hair.. not a look
