Team Starkid Does Into the Woods
Narrator: Lauren Walker
She's the iconic narrator Molag in Firebringer, if I want anything narrated, I'm calling her.
The Baker: Corey Dorris
I've been on the Give Corey Dorris A Lead Role train for a while (even though I'm very new to Tumblr) so this was easy for me. Also, is "A father who's not the best person but is trying his goddamn best" describing The Baker or Bill from TGWDLM?
The Baker's Wife: Bryce Charles
I'm so hyped for her to be the star of Team Starkid's next show, and I need to hear her sing Moments in the Woods.
Cinderella: Lauren Lopez
I don't feel like I need to explain this one? The vibes are just correct.
Jack: James Tolbert
I've only seen him in Black Friday and like 2 seconds of NPMD but he has such a sincere earnestness to his performance, I think he would be a great Jack.
Jack's Mother: Rachel Soglin
She's my favourite exhausted mother in Trail to Oregon, this is the same part but meaner and without an idiot husband falsettoing in a wagon with a floor window.
Cinderella's Stepmother: Mary Kate Wiles
(She's in Working Boys so she counts as Team Starkid) She has a wonderfully dry delivery and while in Spies Are Forever, she uses it for a Jaded Hero character, I want to see her use it for a truly cruel character.
Florinda and Lucinda: Angela Giarratana and Jaime Burns
Both wonderful comedic actresses who would definitely make these relatively small parts very memorable.
Little Red Riding Hood: Mariah Rose Faith Casillas
Is this just an excuse for a (albeit not as direct) third "Corey is Mariah's Father" casting? Yeah, kinda. But also Mariah is amazing in pretty much any part.
The Witch: Jaime Lynn Beatty
This feels so obvious. Her physical acting, character work and amazing belt are MADE to play the Witch. I am always open to constructive criticism except for this one.
Cinderella's Mother: Brittany Coleman
According to the Team Starkid Wiki, she's played this part in the Baltimore Centre Stage production, so she not only would obviously slay this part, she HAS already slayed this part.
Wolf/Cinderella's Prince: Joey Richter
Hmm, who do I get to play two parts, one who's supposed to be creepy and one who's supposed to be irresistibly sexy? I dunno. Anyway, Joey Richter has such amazing range, he plays skeevy villains like Mcdoon (the bandit king) in Trail to Oregon and Wiley in Black Friday , but also is so hot and charming as Ethan in Nightmare time and as Owen in Spies are Forever. Don't know why I bring that up now.
Rapunzel: Kim Whalen
Soprano Queen, actual princess. Also, I want her and Curt to play an actual couple
Rapunzel's Prince: Curt Mega
Not to fall into the Internet Wife Guy Trap but Curt seems so in love with his wife and I think he would be so good as the prince who would do anything to be with her (God please don't pull a Ned Fulmer Curt I swear to God). Also, if you haven't seen him and Joey do Agony for Shitty Broadway, please go watch it, it's amazing.

Starkid Clue
To make a long story short (too late!) it's the Starkid dreamcast for Clue! To clarify, this is a dreamcast for the play adaptation of the 1985 film, not the original musical (though I could do that later). Figure a dreamcast of a murder mystery with multiple endings considering the recent NPMD announcement. (very excited about that!)
Joe Walker as Wadsworth
Jeff Blim as Colonel Mustard
Britney Coleman as Miss Scarlet
AJ Holmes as Mr. Green
Lauren Lopez as Mrs. White
Lily Marks as Mrs. Peacock
Jon Matteson as Professor Plum
Corey Dorris as Cop & Others
Mariah Rose Faith as Yvette & Others
Curt Mega as Mr. Boddy & Others
Lauren Walker as Cook & Others
Understudies: Chris Allen (Wadsworth, Colonel Mustard, Cop), Jamie Burns (Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Cook), Brian Holden (Mr. Green, Professor Plum, Mr. Boddy), Alle-Faye Monka (Miss Scarlet, Yvette)
Make sure to leave any show suggestions or any questions on my casting choices so I can explain them.

I know she was only in one show but I think there should be more love for Lauren Walker, she’s hilarious

Starkid Starlight Express

I know this show has about seven different versions, but I used the current German version as the basis for this dreamcast (with obvious concessions of skating abilities). This has been one of the most anticipated dreamcasts yet based on the amount of people who voted for it, so I hope it doesn’t disappoint!
