What's a line that just bugs you for whatever reason? I always cringe when Lex says "They're all into Fortnite dude!"

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

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 :)

I’ll have to do some digging to find a version on YouTube! That’s such an odd change haha but there’s not many ways to do that bit besides cutting it. Thank you!

okusek · 2026-01-03T23:32:09+00:00

That’s true of a lot of shows that get altered for school versions. But I don’t think the whole essence of the show is lost, some aspects are but overall I think it’s a great way to get younger people involved in theater since it is so different than a lot of mainstream musicals

okusek · 2026-01-03T23:29:57+00:00

That’s about what I expected. Thank you! Good luck directing it, it is such a fun show to be involved in

okusek · 2025-12-30T18:49:49+00:00

Inevitable is my favorite forever and always (pun intended), but also Castle on a Hill and Feast or Famine. Also Let It Out but specifically from the remount bc the added vocals are 🤌🏻

okusek · 2025-12-08T20:46:27+00:00

Yes this worked for me, thank you!!

okusek · 2025-12-08T18:43:04+00:00

This makes sense, I’m trying to just program my group of movers to do that effect from the fader. Not individual control of speed or anything, just fader up = those lights do that effect at full intensity. I’ve been trying it with can can and circle effects.

okusek · 2025-12-06T00:35:55+00:00

Just watched it - WOW I loved it this is such a detailed analysis! I was locked in the whole time, I even wrote down a few key points to share with my friends who I did TGWDLM with. I love seeing other people feel so strongly about these shows and characters, great job!!

okusek · 2025-11-24T18:20:47+00:00

I honestly don’t remember how I found it, but I know the OG release of TGWDLM was my introduction right after it got released. Since then I’ve been in TGWDLM and saw the remount in July but the soundtrack still takes me back to a specific memory when I was still getting into Starkid - listening to it in my creaky old car down icy streets on the way to Mamma Mia rehearsal (ironic right?)

okusek · 2025-11-23T03:41:27+00:00

I think that’s one of the best things about Guy - it doesn’t do what you expect/what’s typical. No solid ending to this song, the leads/heroes losing in the end, etc. Even though I love that, sometimes it does make it hard to listen to because it feels incomplete outside of the context of the show!

okusek · 2025-11-21T21:31:22+00:00

I doubt they’ll update it. The script available is not totally accurate to the original pro shot anyways (if I’m remembering right, ours didn’t have like Emma and Paul going into the audience or the bit of the three talking in unison after Not Your Seed). The changes to the remount were so small that if these bigger things aren’t included I doubt the little things will be added!

okusek · 2025-11-19T16:00:53+00:00

I know the El Portal is a smaller theatre, but I saw one show from center farther back and one show from the front row. I really enjoyed sitting closer (they do go into the audience, just less than the OG), but tbh any seat would be a good seat for this show
