StarKid Homecoming Review 7-25-19 Show.

WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR STARKID HOMECOMING. IF YOU WANT THE SHOW TO BE A SURPRISE PLEASE GO BACK NOW, BECAUSE ONCE YOU START READING THERE IS NO GOING BACK.

This review is what I can remember because my mind is jumbled.

Before the show even started I was able to meet the amazing Corey Lubowich who I just said thank you to for everything he does and got a picture with him. (Thank you Corey!) I also got to say hi to Tessa Netting who I’ve followed for years and took a photo with her. She’s the sweetest!

Okay so Act 1: Darren came out and did a intro. Then they started with the most recent musical

TGWDLM: it was amazing! Also in TGWDLM Mariah sang Jamie’s part but we soon would see why because Jamie slayed “it is time to die!!” The screams for that OMG, then Robert did Show Stopping Number and the audience lost their cool. He was so amazing!!

On to Firebringer: I liked seeing the vine (“I don’t really wanna do the work today”) performed live (lol) and it was neat but I honestly know nothing about the show except the work today song and “the duck is Lord” so I was confused a bit. I need to watch Firebringer. They also performed the finale song.

TTO- they sang Gone to Oregon which was great and then they did Naked In A Lake which made me so happy because it is my favorite song from TTO, then they did Speed Run and OMG how they managed to sing and dance just WOW.

Ani- We got to hear Mark, Clark and Nick Gage sing which was awesome!! Meredith was in this one too. I loved Ani and it’s one of my favorites so I was glad it got some love. They performed Ani, With My Own Eyes and Back on Top.

Twisted - they did No One Remembers Achmed including the infamous Tiger F***er and when Robert said that cheers were so loud, then one of my favorite Starkid girls Britney Coleman came out and sang a thousand and one nights with freaking Carlos Valdes!! I screamed so loud because I love the Flash and I was so excited to see him! Then Dylan, Rachel and Jeff sang Happy Ending.

Holy Musical B@tman- Nick Gage sang the title song (Holy Musical Batman) solo which was so nice I liked seeing him get some of the spotlight. They did Rogues Are We which I love and Super Friends with Nick Gage as Robin instead of Nick Lang because I assume Nick L. didn’t want to perform because he is in charge of everything. (LOL)

Starship- Mariah and Alex Paul dueted Status Quo and it was beautiful, then Dylan came out and did Kick It Up a Notch which I cheered so loud about (Sorry other fans for that) and then they did I Wanna Be and Brant came out and I lost my cool again and cheered loudly.

MAMD - MAMD Joey acted very dramatic before beginning the song which was hilarious, Joe W. came out running dropped the mic and sprained his ankle in the process, then AJ sang listen to your heart and my heart soared (I love AJ.) and then Ali Gordon and Alle-Faye came out and sang part of Ready to Go then everyone came out and joined in for the song that is how they ended Act 1.

There was a fifteen or so minute intermission before Act 2. Before Act 2 began Nick Lang came out to introduce the second half of the show. You all I cheered so loud for him, it is not a secret on here that I love Nick Lang. So I was happy to see him (I also saw him talking to Matt before the show and waved at him when he looked my way, but I am not sure he saw me. It was pretty dark.)

Alright you all I don’t remember the exact order they were in but we have reached The Potter Musical part of Homecoming. Are you ready? We are about to Go Back To Hogwarts.

As I said Nick Introduced Act 2 which was everything Harry Potter related and Nick told us thank you for the support and that he loved us. (WE LOVE YOU NICK!!)

GBTH - Darren came out and the cheers were so loud. He began singing the song and everyone was singing along which was magical. Then Joey came out and my ears hurt from how loud everyone cheered they sang their voice and did the floo powder power arm waves then the amazing Bonnie entered and OMG the cheers for her were so loud and went on so long they had a hard time starting again. It made me cry to see how much love Bonnie got. Then Lauren came out and sang Draco’s part I was kinda gutted they didn’t sing the Cho Chang part since Tyler was there to do his part but oh well. After Lauren sang everyone came out on stage and Dylan entered from the back of the theater and WOW he held that note for welcome so long. Amazing!!! Darren said something about never being able to find the swimming pool and Tyler did his infamous “Hufflepuff’s are particularly good finders” which got major cheers and I barely heard Dylan’s reply. The energy just got GBTH was so amazing. Truly magical I got goosebumps!!

After GBTH they sang Harry Freaking Potter which is always amazing & sadly I don’t remember much from this part.

After Harry Freaking Potter I do not remember what order the sang the songs in and I do apologize for that. I do remember what they sang however. I do know the two finale numbers and the end but that’s coming in a few more paragraphs.

Darren came out after one of the songs with his guitar and had us sing with him because he could not remember the words to “Cho Chang” the line “Wanna take you up to Winnipeg that’s in Canada” was so loud and Darren was like “Alright you guys know this song.” After that he sang The Dragon Song which he really hates some of the lines he wrote. All of us in the Audience sang the “la, la, la’s.” Did I mention Darren hates some of this song?

After the Dragon Song Darren took his guitar and went back to stand near the band and Lauren and Joey came out and so begins Granger Danger. Joey and Lauren shook hands before the song began and Lauren during the second “What? What the hell is this?” part when she and Joey are overlapping looked down at her crotch like in the show, I was laughing at that. She kills it with her acting and her voice.

Bonnie came out and sang part of The Coolest Girl before being joined by Meredith and they dueted the rest of the song and it was beautiful. Also two bada** Hermione’s on stage together. LOVE IT.

Darren sang To Have a Home which made me tear up. I relate to that song so much and was just thinking of how much StarKid truly means to me during this song. We all were home together in a theater in L.A. watching people we love do what they love. I get chills from thinking about this part. This was truly the part of the show were I thought to myself HOLY CRAP I AM ACTUALLY HERE. (Apologies to the guy sitting next to me for my crying.)

Brian R. and Joe W. came out and sang Different as Can Be complete with the back to back part. That was awesome and I love Joe and Brian’s voices so I was so excited to see them sing together.

Joe W. came out and sang To Dance Again and everyone clapped and sang along, I loved Joe’s energy during this song because even with a injury he was dancing around the stage and doing the Voldemort jumps etc. He gets major props for that. Also Brian R. and Darren came out during the “On your feet” part and Darren did all the dances Brian sang and at the final chorus he Brian R. and Joe W. did a kickline together. I DIED.

Tyler came out and I lost my voice cheering for him. (and Nick and Jon) I’ve been dying to see Tyler perform since the very beginning and he is one of my favorites and way back when my friend and I briefly ran the Tyler Brunsman Street Team. Tyler of course sang Guys Like Potter with Joe Moses joining in of course. You all I know I am repeating myself but this was magical, I love this song and Tyler and Joe M. so I was in awe.

AJ Holmes turned after one of the songs to the audience to say “enough about this Potter boy their should be w new wizard” or something along that line I can not remember word for word and someone shouted “what is your fantasy” and he did the entire Gildroy becoming a mouse Prince monologue. I loved it so much and was dying of laughter. Especially when he shouted at us “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” AJ then sang Wizard of the Year complete with the female backup. I loved hearing AJ sing.

Joey came out and sang Sidekick. When he sang “Am I the hottest?” he got the biggest scream and it was so funny to hear him sing “No I’m not” after that.

Jamie came out and began singing Not Alone with Darren, Joey and Bonnie joining her during the song. This is another song that hits me right in the feels. I truly believe this is a StarKid anthem because I know I’ve felt alone a lot in life and this song has gotten me through so many bad times. StarKid has gotten me through bad times. One of my favorite parts of the show.

Brian R and Robert came out and dueted Everything Ends and were joined by the whole cast. The mood for this song was very somber and this song is just so moving.

The whole cast came out and did Voldemort is Going Down and even had us stomp our feet in time with them during the song so Joe Walker could hear it in the back and be scared.

Sadly this is the last song and it was of course Days of Summer. Just watching everyone dance together and sing along was a joy. Then Darren invited us to all stand on our feet and join in for one more singing of Going Back to Hogwarts with them. I screamed Ravenclaw really loud to make my fellow Ravenclaw’s proud. After that it was time for the bows and everyone clapped and cheered and Brian R. stayed on stage with his fist raised for a long time, so Nick Lang came out and was all “Brian the show is over Voldemort is dead we won.” something along that line. Then Brian goes “dead?” mimes skipping a rock and sinks to his knees. About that time Joe W. came out and they did the whole “Is okay good part” then rang to each other and stood back to back before being joined by the whole cast singing Not Alone again and then we sang GBTH again and the show was over. We all clapped and cheered for a long time and AJ and Clark had to wave us out of the theater.

All in all it was an amazing night and I will never forget it. I am sure I am forgetting some things that happened and I do apologize for that. Thank you StarKid for an amazing ten years, I love and adore each and everyone of you. I can not wait for what is next.

All My Love,
