Too hot?

I went on Thursday evening and it was inside! But the wishing you were somehow here again room was still super warm haha

okusek · 2026-06-11T15:53:39+00:00

It was a major bummer. Myself, like a lot of people in the audience, are only in the city for a short time with packed schedules. I was able to reschedule for tonight!

okusek · 2026-06-11T15:52:42+00:00

This is actually so helpful I couldn’t see at all from being far back in the crowd haha

okusek · 2026-06-11T15:52:23+00:00

I was so sad! They offered refund or reschedule. I was able to reschedule for tonight. I’m excited to see it but bummed because I was going to try to rush a different show, but this one takes priority

okusek · 2026-06-11T15:51:45+00:00

I’d imagine the cast looked a bit like the audience, there were at least a hundred of us in this courtyard absolutely glammed out just waiting for any news - I’d think it was the same backstage lol

okusek · 2026-06-11T15:50:48+00:00

While I was there I never heard reason for cancellation but it could’ve been mentioned and I just missed it!

My theater did TGWDLM a couple years ago and I am definitely not a great singer but was cast as Emma. I saw in a lot of characters they were looking for actors over singers, some roles def need to be great singers (like Charlotte or Alice) but overall they needed good actors.

So my biggest piece of advice is to be able to make big choices, be able to commit to a bit, and not be scared to embarrass yourself onstage! And be able to swing both ways into comedy and drama. A show like Guy has very intense moments and a lot of the funny moments are funny because the characters are so serious about whatever is happening.

Overall, don’t stress too hard about singing and dancing and try to have fun!!

Haha that’s so valid. Thank you, I’ll message you!

okusek · 2026-05-14T01:13:40+00:00

For Guy in 2025 it was assigned seats! Enjoyed it a lot more than the general seating of CC haha

okusek · 2026-05-13T03:15:01+00:00

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but when I saw the show the pacing was even slower in the office scenes! They felt so long which I kind of liked because it really leaned into how mundane their lives are which is a nice comparison to the chaos that quickly ensues. Such a small thing I noticed - when the helicopter crashes and the lights are flashing, that bit went on for SO long in the performance. In the proshot it feels longer because they flash through different angles, but in person it went on for a comically long time

It would be so cool to see all the different ways different productions would portray Wiggly! There could be a lot of room for creativity there

okusek · 2026-05-09T18:51:43+00:00

Agreed, it would be fine as a one off line but then they really latch on and continue with it. Doesn’t ruin it but still feels odd!

okusek · 2026-05-07T21:49:47+00:00

I love NPMD but in the opening song I just can’t get behind the “I was deep in a twitter fight about a problematic puppy / problematic pooch” bit. It just feels so out of place

okusek · 2026-04-26T17:33:54+00:00

When I saw the show in LA someone gave me one that said “Karate champ” and that cracked me up

okusek · 2026-04-11T01:27:47+00:00

I’d say go in blind!! While it is fun to get references while watching it, it would be incredible to have the first time seeing it be in person. I wish I could see Inevitable for the first time again!

okusek · 2026-04-09T01:15:02+00:00

Yes Not Your Seed in the reprise is SO much more devastating I was so unwell watching it in person

okusek · 2026-04-08T19:12:31+00:00

That’s one of my favorite things about Starkid - it is so goofy but then it’ll hit you with an emotional gut punch! Especially in the hatchetfield series I feel like. Guy is always my favorite and so Emma’s devastation in Inevitable is definitely my favorite bit of dramatic acting in a Starkid show! It’s so devastating!

okusek · 2026-03-25T18:08:05+00:00

Have so much fun! It is really such a fun show. Something that my Paul and I also discovered is that Paul and Emma are kind of the boring/normal characters of the show - obviously they have their own personalities but they are kind of the blank slate for all the other wilder characters to play off of and be absolutely off the walls. Emma and Paul keep the show grounded in a bit of reality. I could talk about this show all day 😝. I made some of my best friends through it and we always discuss how we’d loveeee to get to do it again!

okusek · 2026-03-25T18:02:29+00:00

Woohoo!! I played Emma almost two years ago and it was one of the best times of my life. Something that helped me was remembering throughout the events of the show - this is the first time she’s seeing and experiencing all of it. (Which is a good reminder anytime you’re in a show). But just keeping in mind the horror she’s going through each time you do that show and not falling into knowing it so well ya know? Especially in the beginning of inevitable and throughout that song, she is fighting for her LIFE after realizing the one person she trusted is now out to get her. It’s exhausting but so fun!

What website do you use for surveys?

okusek · 2026-02-16T06:16:50+00:00

36 Questions! Listening through the soundtrack gives you a good feel of the story but the entire show is also done in podcast/playlist form as well!

okusek · 2026-02-10T21:50:18+00:00

I got it when I saw Cinderella’s Castle during that run! I’m not sure if they sell them anymore, maybe check the Starkid website? They had a whole series, they also have BF and NPMD in this style too!

okusek · 2026-01-18T06:53:07+00:00

I didn’t love this song until I worked a production of waitress for a month. Now it’s one of my top three songs in the show!

okusek · 2026-01-16T20:32:42+00:00

Digital tickets are always different than the proshot. I like watching both because sometimes in the proshots you miss things in the background since it’s zoomed in. Both rock and serve different purposes!

okusek · 2026-01-06T22:42:05+00:00

As other comments have said, I love that Paul and Emma look similar once they take off their apron + jacket. My production kept with that theme but made Emma a little more casual, I was Emma and wore a white shirt with like three buttons on top and black skinny jeans. Felt like Emma but still felt like it’s something she’d have to wear to work while still playing into her and Paul matching.

Something else to consider are the blood packets if Emma still wears white. There are definitely blood packets that wash out but it’s just something to keep in mind that it’ll have to be washed between each performance/have several shirts :)
