It’s been years in the making, but ‘Workin’ Boys’ is finally on its way! The 30-minute short film (originally promised as a SK 10niversary Kickstarter perk back in 2019) is now available for rent as part of 'The Hatchetfield Halloween Party: A Spooky Livestream Celebration.’ This pay-to-view digital event features cast & crew members from every Hatchetfield show, and include a ‘Nerdy Prudes’ Talkback, a Hatchetfield Trivia Game, the ‘Workin’ Boys’ screening & a talkback, plus a discussion of/sneak-peek at the possible future of the Hatchetfield series! The party streamed live on October 13th, but digital tickets to the recording will be available to rent until Halloween here: starkid.vhx.tv...
Then, ‘Workin’ Boys’ will be FREE to view for all SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backers starting Monday, October 30th (just in time for Halloween). On that day, 10niversary Backers will be sent a link to the short so they can watch it as many times as they like, whenever they like.
To be clear, SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backers will NOT need to buy a ticket to the Hatchetfield Halloween Party to receive the FREE link to see ‘Workin’ Boys’ on October 30th. BUT being a SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backer doesn’t automatically get you a ticket to the Hatchetfield Halloween Party (which includes a three-hour block of activities, not just 'Workin' Boys'). If you’d like to tune into that event, you’ll be able to purchase a ticket here: starkid.vhx.tv...
Based on the musical-within-the-musical from 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals,' 'Workin' Boys' tells the story of Professor Henry Hidgens (played by Jeff Blim) who sets out to produce his dream musical at the Starlight Theater, and things don’t go according to plan. Now one man’s dream will become one town’s nightmare. Hatchetfield is up to its ass in shit, and five-o-clock can’t come soon enough!
Filled with show stopping numbers and a cast of familiar faces, ‘Workin’ Boys’ is a horror-comedy short boasting 5 new songs by Jeff Blim, a script by Nick & Matt Lang, a score by Matt Dahan, choreography by Lauren Lopez, and special make-up FX by Gabriela Vega. It stars Jeff Blim, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, Bryce Charles, Matt Dahan, Corey Dorris, Paul Gabriel, Angela Giarratana, Lauren Lopez, Jon Matteson, Curt Mega, Joey Richter, Dylan Saunders, Virginia Vass, Kim Whalen, and Mary Kate Wiles. It was edited by Matt Lang, and directed by Nick Lang.

WARNING: 'Workin' Boys' is a horror-comedy short film that features violence, blood, murder, gunshots, adult language, and frightening imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.
I can't wait to see Greg!

C'mon boys. We've got some catching up to do!
I can't wait to get home to my boys
And *Chad...*
I love how everyone in this fandom knows pretty much every line off by heart. We may not be as big a Star Wars, but we are just as devoted.

This is gonna be one hell of a show-stopping number
It'd be a show-stopping show, which is something I demand to see
What is this business???
A real show stopper.
@@chaosmastermind A show stoppin' number come on.
@@under_90something to shock’em
I feel a sudden urge to throw money at this even though they're charging full priced admission
I think if you do, the world miiiiight come tumbling down.....
Hamilton, move over! Your new competition's in town. . .
Yeah, but Hadestown is number 1.
Do you know where I can watch this?
Jeff as Hidgens is a genius casting choice, especially if Hidgens will be at his most unhinged
I hope they will stay true to Hidgens being a baritone, and not a Tenor, like Jeff's parts usually are (save for General Macnamera)
@@itamarbar9580 I didn’t even think they’d do songs! I hope they keep Hidgens a baritone too. I know Jeff can sing it
Ive been meaning to ask all this time, is Robert no longer a Starkid regular? Im not up to date with Starkid stuff and I don't really follow them on social media, so I wouldn't know.
@@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777 Robert stepped down from StarKid after admitting to sending unsolicited messages to a coworker.
@@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777nope. Some contoversy regarding sexual harrasment came to light alongside poor attitude so starkid parted ways with him.
We are so proud of Professor Hidgens! He’s finally made it
He's hoped and he's waited
@@shay2547 this is how it must feel, to have the fuuunndss
What is this business? A working Boys Short film? I got to tell all my friends, Greg, and Steve, and Stu, and Mark, and Leighton, and chad! The release of this video can't come soon enough!❤
Showstopping comment.
Can it be 5 o'clock already? It must be!
"And Chad!"
It should just be a running joke that professor hidgins is played by a new cast member every time. That would hilarious.
(The reason I say this is this is the third person they’ve gotten to play him, and I believe it’s been a different actor the last three times he’s been in something)
Wait, what's been the second time?
@@I_Am_Very_ScaryNick Lang played him in Season 2 of Nightmare Time
I think that would actually be hilarious
@@OrpheusWasAPoorBoy really? Do you know what episode and chapter? I haven't been watching them closely
@@I_Am_Very_Scaryhoney queen in season 2
I'm so glad Professor Hidgens is being played by Jeff it's the perfect fit
he’s so perfect i can’t stop thinking about it
Wait what happened, did the OG actor leave the cast?
@@virginiaf4117 he sexually harassed a coworker so starkid isn’t working with him anymore. he also has been very rude about them since then
@@quirrelmortslove the edits! I was subbed but I guess I unsubbed? Anyway I heard about that, sad to hear Robert is trashing them.. when I heard about the incident initially I thought he was taking a break and he'd return but I see that isn't happening, Jeff can totally pull it off.
@@quirrelmortsthat's true but I thought Nick took over the role in Nightmare Time?
I’m so excited to see Mary Kate make her first Hatchetfield appearance!! 5’o clock can’t come soon enough!!
When I saw her in the cast list, I almost jumped. She’s going to be AMAZING.
I’m so ready for Jeff to bring more chaos to Hidgens!
I can’t believe I never thought of Jeff playing Hidgens, it’s so perfect…!
You didn't think about the implications!
there's a video somewhere online of him singing show stoppin number a couple years ago!
I'm sad that nick won't be professor hidgeons but excited to see Jeff's take! I just miss seeing Nick act😅
Yeah, sadly Nick doesn't sing anymore, so there are probably going to be some songs, which is neat!
Did this come out but it was unlisted? Also, I can’t wait for this. It looks like Jeff is giving a showstopping performance.
It was sent to the 2019 backers, where this project was originally funded. Some of those people shared the link around so that’s why it was unlisted
@aliceisaperson is that true? I backed it, but I never got sent the link for this. I was honestly super disappointed.
@@RoseGirl1192 I think so? I’m not sure. I just know the link got sent around and I assumed that’s where it was sent? Have you checked your email or spam folder?
@@RoseGirl1192i’m the same !! really confused and worried lol !!
@@ethereallovebugz from what I recall, I thought backers were going to be sent the video via email. But I never once got updates about it.
The Hatchetfield lore is what keeps me going, I’m so excited!!!
The story we have all been waiting for
I'm very confused on how I can purchase/rent/watch this... I'm a little late to the party (I was swamped... with business) and the links don't work anymore (error 404) and there seems to be no place to find it. Can anyone help?

I think that the journey to get Jeff as Hidgens was worth it. NOW THAT IS PERFECT CASTING
First off, love that this is debuting at 5pm for at least the East coast.
And secondly, will there eventually be a way this is available to those who weren't aware of you during the Kickstarter, but who can't make it on the 13th?
Thirdly, 5 new songs in a 30-minute performance... holy shit.
I didn't know about the 13th and I wasn't aware of the kickstarter, I'm REALLY hoping there's going to be a way to access it later on
@@thallium.81 same 😭
Jeff as Hidgens is extraordinary casting. So excited for this (and just in the middle of my starkid binge, too)!
God i hate that i only just now got into starkid stuff. I hope theyll either add it on youtube or make it available to rent/buy from the website/youtube
ua-cam.com/video/SXwOGdHDimw/v-deo.htmlsi=rb30_hxKPsk0RZHS it already is here
Damn, I had to see him holding the axe to realize who it was
Gives me flashbacks of "Oh THATS who plays Aladdin !" XD
this is hands down gonna be the absolute best spin off/sequel to TGWDLM
...what?
@@lexecomplexe4083 The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
Is it give o'clock already? IT MUST BE!
i found out about this one month too late and i’ve been fixated on the hatchetfield series for the longest time, hoping for some way to access it eventually :,(

I have also found out about it too late 😭
@@Aphelion.s_Abysssame…
Hidgens finally looks like a senior citizen
Why am I just now processing that he is a senior citizen and not just a guy with white hair
@@hopedavison8010 He is so anime frfr
Will this ever be uploaded to UA-cam?
Today
It is now:)
This is actually insane! What started out as a one off joke in TGWDLM has turned into quite the show stopping number.
Also I might be a bit dumb, but does anyone know what time the NPMD proshoot premier starts?
2 pm pst/5 pm est!
@@lmagicalus no, that's when the halloween party livestream starts. the npmd proshoot premier starts 2pm pst/5pm est and then right after it finishes is the halloween stream that has working boys
The way my jaw hit the floor and I screamed for my husband to come and see this, we are both so excited! 😂
I was hoping I would make it to the opening, but I'm swamped. With business.
Does anyone know when this will be out on UA-cam?
Edit: 4 Months Later, I FINALLY FOUND IT and it was definitely worth the hype - ua-cam.com/video/SXwOGdHDimw/v-deo.htmlsi=QbRre0mOjdSx7hMy
I hope this drops next year for the unfortunately broke fans
Dropping October 30th 2023

They did it… the madlads, they finally did it! So excited! 🤩
Jeff is such a good casting choice for Hidgens! Can’t wait to see how many other characters make an appearance :)
Anybody know if this will ever be released on youtube?? Man I'd love to watch it and see Jeff's take on a wonderful and terrifying character

Nope
It's public today!!
Will there be a release somewhere at some point for people who missed the live show?
Yes it was released today!!!:)
The fact that Mary Kate Wiles is in this makes me so excited! Can’t wait for the 13th!!!

NO FUCKING WAYYYYY LETS GOOOOO LETS GOOOOOO LETS GOOOOO WORKIN BOYS WERE UP TO OUR ASS IN SHIT WHAT IS THIS BUISNESS FIVE OCLOCK CANT COME SOON ENOUGH I CANT WAIT TO GET HOME TO MY BOYYYYYSSSS

I screamed when I saw Ruth but then I saw everyone else lmao
Jeff is the new Higgins? I did not see that coming. From Greg to Henry.
Hamilton, MOVE OVER! your new competition is in town! (Literally I’ve been wanting to see this since the guy who didn’t like musicals…)
Man sad i wasnt able to pledge,,,,i hope one day we can see it uploaded
This Is Great! Now Where’s Santa Claus Is Coming To High School?
IVE PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS!! I’m so excited😭😭😭
Jeff is playing hidgens?!?!?
Oh this is gonna be the most unhinged Hidgens ever 😂
HOLY CRAP! I AM SO EXCITED!!! IT'S GONNA BE A KILLER GOOD TIME!!!
will this come out on youtube for free ever?
this is the most meta thing in the world and it has been talked about since the very beginning of Hatchetfield so my GOD I am so excited for this.
It's 8pm on November 1st, y'all! Where is Workin' Boys? ❤
How do you watch this after Halloween as a non backer?
You dont. Broadway hates poor people and is elitist as hell
I want to watch this so bad
U can now
We all know that Jeff can play Hidgens, but more importantly, can he do the Hidgens Hips?
Hamilton move over! Your new competition’s in town!!
"@ 5PM PST"
Nice touch! It can't come soon enough.
For those who weren't around for the Kickstarter and live under a rock where no information can get to----- Will I be able to pay to watch Workin' Boys?? I'll pay full price admission!!!!
hello I was in the hatchetfield Halloween party - it can be rented for about the rest of October BUT there’s a good chance the short film is not coming to UA-cam anytime soon
@@sstxrkidwell thats such bullshit
This film was so good, I WISH it was longer. And now we know what the future of Nightmare Time will be, I'm beyond excited. The new stories sound amazing!
So I have a general understanding of the Robert manion situation, but is he just not going to be in anymore shows?
Not after he openly badmouthed Starkid haha. I’d say the ties have been cut.
@@RonHeartsMe wait holy shoot he did??
@@SakuWasHereFirstyeah I saw it on tiktok live but it wasn’t anything super harsh tbh but yeah he’s not coming back.
@@dignature123is he not? I knew he was trying to make things better but I didn't know that he is now gone gone
@@ProfessorRed12 He said for his mental health, he can't.
Unfortunate that this has to go on without Robert, as much as I agree with the company's decision. But, such is the art of theatre. No one person has a monopoly on a character. I look forward to seeing how this goes.
I mean, Robert screwed himself after what he did.
What did Robert do, and which one is robert?
@@lexecomplexe4083 The original actor who played Hidgens. He was transphobic online, harassed a crew member and was benched for a while, during which time he has been, afaik, badmouthing starkid pretty heavily. So the chances of him coming back are very low and, in my opinion, good riddance
It's been waiting in the wings! The stage is set... it's showtime!
It ain't Robert, but it's still Hidgens. Five o'clock really can't come soon enough. So excited!
Nick has played hidgens before too
Robert is a creep anyways.
@@DuckBoxHousewhat happened to Rob? I’ve been out of the loop for a while
@@superfan2122He admitted to sexually harassing a member of the band and was fired for it. Starkid _was_ going to give him the benefit of the doubt and was open bring him back on provided he showed significant changes to his behavior.... But then during the NPMD Kickstarter, Robert started making these livestreams trash talking the company and how it was actually _his_ decision to leave .
...so yeah, that door is now closed for good.
I literally just rewatched The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals earlier this morning for the umpteenth time! I also saw Dead Meat James' kill count video on it this morning!
I did too!!
WAIT WHAT
Is there gonna be a free version released
HOW do you manage to get me THIS excited?! I can't wait to get home to my boys!
MKW is in this?? oh my god this is gonna be SO GOOD
Damn it, bummed Robert didn't continue cus I loved him as prof Hidgens but so far Jeff looks like he'll be able to provide us a good Hidgens!!! (I'm not crazy that's Jeff Blim, right? I can't recognize anyone under the old man makeup but I'm feeling crazy rn)
edit: I was apparently half asleep when I wrote this that is obviously Jeff
That’s Jeff, yeah. It’s too bad about the behind the scenes stuff with Robert; it was honestly shocking to me, but I’m glad Jeff’s taking the role, looks like he’ll do great!
what happened with robert?!
@@junegeeitisahardgfulmer7911
@@ronitataoftheday8504
He sexually harassed a band member and was fired. They said if he actually improved himself they may work with him again, but he’s been badmouthing them since, so I doubt that offers open anymore.
I'm so glad Ruth is gonna be in this, shes so fun
Look if Robert Manion can’t play Hidgens then Jeff Blim is definitely the next best option
Hes the third actor to play Hidgens
Nick Lang did a great job in Honey Queen, but I can’t WAIT for Jeff’s version.
Workn’ boys isn’t out and it’s October 31
This casting is cleaning my skin and watering my crops
WE DID IT, BOYS
WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING A SHOWSTOPPING NUMBER!!
... I know why Starkid can't work with Robert Mnion anymore and fully understand it but.... as uch as I love Jeff (i do he's great), it's jsut not the same fit for professor Hidgens. Oh he can overact and do crazy faces but diffrently. It's like replacing the bastard child of Jim carrey and Christopher Lloyd by an unholly fusion of Nicholas Cage and Jack Nicholson, you know you'll get plenty of delightfully overhamming but it's just not the same energy.
As much as I really miss as Robert as Hidgens. I think Jeff matches his insanity much more
EVERYTHING I LOVE IS COMING OUT IN OCTOBER :D
SAME HERE OCTOBER IS A GREAT MONTH
I loved Robert as Professor Hidgens...but Jeff as an even more unhinged Higdens??? I'm sold. I can't think of anyone else that could fit that as good as Jeff lol. ( although Nick Lang playing him in Nightmare Time was good too ) so excited to see it!
on another note, does anyone know why Robert stopped playing him or if he's still apart of Starkid? if someone mentioned it somewhere, I didn't see it.
Robert admitted to sending inappropriate messages and acting inappropriately with someone in the band for Black Friday and has since not been involved although Starkid mentioned in their release of the information that the door is open for him to return if he makes some serious changes but apparently has recently been bad mouthing Starkid on live across multiple platforms so it’s safe to say he won’t be returning
@@jjbartsch973 oh dang. is that true?? that's crazy. that's the first time I've heard about this. I figured it was ust 'cause he lives in Australia or something like that. wow. hopefully he rights his wrongs. if he has been bad mouthing, that's not gonna help his case at all.
Hamilton, move over!
Your new competition's in town!
I hope someday it'll be available to those of us who can't afford it
WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS? BUSINESS IS CRASHING AND I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY WITS! I'm so excited.
Is this only going to be available through the Halloween party and kickstarter backers? Or will it eventually release to the public? I wanna see it but I don’t think I’m available on Friday :(
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG AND JEFF AS HIDGENS!?!???!??! AHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
JEFF IS PERFECT AS HIDGENS
will it be uploaded here for others later on?
that sucks @@dyl5944
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE ‼️‼️
I feel terrible I missed this once in a life time opportunity
So is this gonna be free to view on UA-cam?
Been waiting for this show for ages! Then Black Friday came out and now I want Santa Claus is Going to High School as well 😅 please could we have that one too? 🙏🥺
RUTH IS GONNA ACT!!!!!!!!
was the live stream on UA-cam? i cant find it
If only I had some extra money just lying around, it would be spent quicker than it was found.
Fuck yeah!!! Jeff is fucking perfect!!!!! Thank you star kid for this gift ❤❤❤❤
WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS
HELL YES
unrelated tangent but
jeff plays the insane person so well that when will branner was playing max it felt like i was watchin him be possessed by jeffs manic energy. i hope we get to see them act together soon
OMG I'm so stupid. They are American! Of course the "football" is the kind that's not played with feet!!!🏈
Holy sh*t whoever did the makeup at the end is incredible
Is the ghost actually Alexa???
wait a minute was that ruth
Yep
I'm screaming I'm so excited!!!
If this doesn't have the full version of the title number, I'm going to cry
I hope even though I missed the kickstarter I can eventually buy this and not just “rent.”
October 30th can’t come soon enough!
