Most notable Starkid cast members?
Starkid has had a lot of different cast members in their shows through the years and I started wondering who has been in the most shows and how many shows someone would have to be in for them to feel like a "proper" Starkid. I could have looked up to see if anyone has compiled this information but instead I decided to do it myself!
I went through the cast lists of all fourteen live stage shows they have uploaded to their channel (so including VHS Christmas Carol but not Nightmare Time or any other digital series) and here's what I found:
(behind a read more because this got looong and also so you have time to guess which actors have been in the most shows!)
1. Jaime Lynn Beatty (12 out of 14 shows). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
1. Lauren Lopez (12). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
3. Joey Richter (11). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
4. Joe Walker (9). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Firebringer.
5. Dylan Saunders (8). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
5. Brian Holden (8). First appearance: Me & My Dick. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
5. Corey Dorris (8). First appearance: Me & My Dick. Latest appearance: Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
8. Meredith Stepien (7). First appearance: Starship. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
9. Joe Moses (6). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Ani: A Parody.
9. Jim Povolo (6). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Twisted.
9. Denise Donovan (6). First appearance: Starship. Latest appearance: Firebringer.
9. Jeff Blim (6). First appearance: Holy Musical B@tman!. Latest appearance: Black Friday.
13. Julia Albain (5). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: Ani: A Parody.
14. Brian Rosenthal (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
14. Britney Coleman (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
14. Devin Lytle (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
14. Richard Campbell (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
14. Lily Marks (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
14. Nick Lang (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Sequel. Latest appearance: Ani: A Parody.
14. Nicholas Joseph Strauss-Matathia (4). First appearance: A Very Potter Sequel. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
21. Darren Criss (3). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
21. Tyler Brunsman (3). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
21. Sango Tajima (3). First appearance: A Very Potter Musical. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
21. A. J. Holmes (3). First appearance: Me & My Dick. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
21. Arielle Goldman (3). First appearance: Me & My Dick. Latest appearance: A Very Potter Senior Year.
21. Chris Allen (3). First appearance: Holy Musical B@tman! Latest appearance: Ani: A Parody.
21. Rachael Soglin (3). First appearance: Twisted. Latest appearance: Firebringer.
21. Robert Manion (3). First appearance: Twisted. Latest appearance: Black Friday.
21. Clark Baxtresser (3). First appearance: Ani: A Parody. Latest appearance: A VHS Christmas Carol.
21. Jon Matteson (3). First appearance: The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. Latest appearance: Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
Then there are a handful of people who have only appeared in one or two shows, most notably Bonnie Gruesen, who played Hermione in the first two Potter musicals, Will Brenner, who debuted in Nerdy Prudes Must Die, and Mariah Rose Faith, Angela Giarratana, Curt Mega, Kim Whalen, Kendall Nicole Yakshe and Bryce Charles, who have all appeared in two or more Hatchetfield projects.
A couple of observations:
Some of the actors listed have also been involved behind the scenes, with Nick Lang writing almost every show with his brother Matt Lang, and Jeff Blim and Clark Baxtresser writing the music for several shows.
I was shocked that Rachael Soglin has only been in three Starkid shows but I guess it goes to show that the size of the role also plays a part in how much of a "Starkid" every actor feels.

You seem to be a theatre nerd so I gotta ask do you like Starkid? I bloody love them so much they are the pièce de résistance of utter ridiculousness and its so good lol
My absolute favs are Brian Holden (he is a legend), Tyler Brunsman (his Lucius Malfoy is an icon) and Joe Moses(-his Snape is the greatest thing to have ever happened to the world-and I cannot believe he became a lawyer irl like bro 😢 honestly good for him and good on him cuz that's gotta be hard but also sir I am devastated pls come back lol)
Omg I love this ask!!! I was really into them forever abo, I haven't really kept up with them in years but I still love them!!!!!! They are so freaking funny! I really need to sit down and watch all their stuff I haven't seen!!!
Cause i never miss an opportunity to talk about it, lmao, My first year of college, on my birthday weekend actually, I got to see their mini improv show series "Yes I'm scared of the dark" and got pics with them after!!!(and was the volunteer in their pre magician show and Meredith tweeted pics of it with me in it!🤣) Jaime and Meredith were SOO sweet omg
Oooh those are all good ones!!! I forgot about Tyler's Lucius omg🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏his Cedric is classic too xD I also love Lauren, she is so freaking funny. And Joe Walker. Oh omg and Joey!!!! He is so cute 🤣Omg, I didn't know Joe Moses became a lawyer, that's hilarious 🤣I can hear his Snape in my head so clearly 🤣
Dang now I really wanna rewatch those 🤣🤣🤣

Dream Starkid Jangle Ball Tour: Villain Song Setlist
So, I'm super excited about the Jangle Ball. Even if they don't play where I am, I'm just so happy they're going to tour again after all these years!
I've been randomly pondering what my dream set list for the 'Villain Song" section of the tour would be. If digital tickets are released and I see they have completely different songs, then that's totally awesome and pretty likely! I'd enjoy it a wild amount either way. This is just a little fun thing for me to think about and basically, me listing y personal favourite Starkid villain songs.
I tried to include mostly villain songs, but some are a stretch, some are Starkid tour classics and some are songs I just really want to see a live version of. I know they've said in livestreams that any song can be twisted (ha!) into a villain song, and they want to perform some songs in ways that they haven't been performed before, maybe with different performers than the originals. And they said they wanted to change up the set list a bit for different locations. That sounds very fun! And yep, my list is far too long for half a concert but I can't control myself.
My Dream Jangle Ball Setlist:
Twisted - Twisted
Let it Out - TGWDLM
Do you want to play? - Black Friday
The Web I Spin for You - NMT1
Into the Night - Firebringer
Different as Can Be - AVPM (Omg if AJ sang for Voldemort I would be so happy because all I want in life is an AJ Holmes and Brian Rosenthal duet)
Axe Man - NMT2
Not Your Seed - TGWDLM
Change in the Climate - Firebringer
Virginity Rocks - NMT2
Listen to Your Heart - MAMD (If the choice rested in my hands, I would list every MAMD song for this tour. Every single one xD)
Join Us (And Die) - TGWDLM (I cannot stress how important it is that this song goes right before Kick it Up a Notch! I need Jaime to belt "It's time to diiiiiiiiie" at the beginning and I need "all you gotta do is-" to transition straight into 'Kick it Up a Notch'. It is essential to everyone's well-being that this happens!!)
Kick it Up a Notch - Starship
Rogues Are We - HMB
Granger Danger - AVPM
Guys Like Potter - AVPS (If Tyler Brunsman doesn't join the cast, then Brian Rosenthal as Lucius and if Joe Moses doesn't join, then Brian Holden for Snape!)
The Way I Do - Starship
Wagon on Fire - TTO
Missing You - AVPM (I'm guessing it's unlikely Darren will join them (but you never know!), so James for Harry!)
Wizard of the Year (Gilderoy) - AVPSY
Big T's Temptation - MAMD (please, it's all I've wanted since birth. No one will ever understand how much I love Big T and this song *cries*)
It's Not Over Yet - AVPS (If Tyler Brunsman doesn't reprise the role, then Brian Holden as Lucius!)
Going Back to Hogwarts - AVPM (The Villain is the old, majestic owl who lost my letter to Starkid's Hogwarts, gave it to that infamous Hogwarts Jaguar, who, with his soft adorable paws that he trips over when he's running too fast, took out a knife and put it in the shredder all those years ago. That rat bastard!)
What would be your dream Jangle Ball Tour 'Villain Song' setlist? If you can twist it into a villain song, then pretty much any song is fair game!

Starkid Shucked
It’s time for Starkid to get totally Shucked! The bizarre experience of Broadway’s new corn-based musical almost feels like a Starkid musical to me so I was all too ready to create this dreamcast once the cast recording dropped. So I hope you all enjoy this crop just in time for the Tony’s (in which Shucked will likely win one or two of them.)
(Also I realized I’d been writing Davis Hamilton’s name incorrectly, oops)
1. Lauren Lopez as Maizey
2. Britney Coleman as Lulu
3. Curt Mega as Gordy
4. Brian Rosenthal as Peanut
5. Davis Hamilton as Beau
6. Bryce Charles as Storyteller 1
7. Will Branner as Storyteller 2
8. Tyler Brunsman as Ensemble
9. Corey Dorris as Ensemble
10. Ali Gordon as Ensemble
11. AJ Holmes as Ensemble
12. Janaya Mahealani Jones as Ensemble
13. Joey Richter as Ensemble
14. Rachael Soglin as Ensemble
15. Tiffany Williams as Ensemble
Swings: Angela Giarratana, Brian Holden, James Tolbert, Virginia Vass
Understudies: Tyler Brunsman (Gordy, Beau, Storyteller 2), Angela Giarratana (Maizey), Ali Gordon (Maizey), Brian Holden (Beau), AJ Holmes (Peanut, Storyteller 2), Janaya Mahealani Jones (Lulu, Storyteller 1), Joey Richter (Gordy, Peanut), Virginia Vass (Lulu), Tiffany Williams (Storyteller 1)

I’ve watched “A Very Potter Sequel” and God, I wasn’t disappointed! The only thing that bothers me a little – it seems that there are more jokes… lower than the belt than it was in the first one, or is it just me? Well, I don’t have something against those jokes – just noticing. (Spoilers!) Well, they just couldn’t not show us the first year – how everybody met, got sorted, start their classes and play quidditch. We also got some Marauders’ stories. Because yes, it’s the first year, but still has so much stuff mixed – Lupin and Sirius (oh, a little Wolfstar fan in me was so happy) Umbridge and Dumbledore missing, and time travelling Malfoys… Yes! Lucious Malfoy. O. My. Devil. He’s so handsome! (I know, that it’s the same actor as Cedric Diggory) And he dances all the time! He can’t make a single simple step – all is choreographed. He also has too much eyeliner, but since Brian and Pat taught us (“Gill and Gilbert”, episode 14), that eyeliner equals magic, I think it’s reasonable. Enjoyed seeing Joe Walker (yes, I’ve learned his name) as Umbridge – he was remarkable. Fabulous. If he had spoken normally, I think, I might have even fallen for this character. Do you think I didn’t cry? Of course, you didn’t think so, you know me too well. I cried on “Guys Like Potter” because it makes me feel feelings and I shed a happy tear during the bows when the whole cast was singing “Going back to Hogwarts”. Totally watching the next part. P.S. One thing which was unclear for me was Narcissa and Dobby and how could she “choreograph an affair” with him, but then I remembered that Hagrid’s parents existed in canon and rejoiced that Dobby was at least an adult elf for sure.
