THE ENDING. DAMN. Honestly I can't wait to see more of Jon, he's a stellar actor and really blew me away in TGWDLM. -also, unless I heard that wrong, the whole "trying really hard not to kiss Jeff in 'What Do You Want, Paul?'" thing is a mood.-
In case anyone wants to skip any questions 1:23 How hard was it to not kiss Jeff when he was serenading you in What do you want Paul? 1:45 Was "Sing The Beginning Of Moana" improvised? 2:04 What song would you do as a solo? 2:37 What is your favourite piece of Fanart? 3:18 How did you get into Starkid? 4:30 If you could play any other character who would it be? 4:58 How close are you and Jeff? 5:07 What the heck is your job in the musical? 5:44 Did you ever contribute any lyrics? 6:18 What was your best memory on set? 7:05 What was your favourite line in the show? 7:39 What was your favourite lyric? 8:01 What was your favourite joke from the show? 8:12 What was your favourite song? 8:33 On a scale from one to ten how boring was it so sit around in rehearsal and watch dances? 9:14 What was your favourite reaction to hearing about the show? 10:12 What was your favourite moment from the show's run? 10:50 Who is your favourite character from any Starkid show? 11:54 What was your favourite moment in the show? 12:20 Would you like to have sang more? 12:53 Were there any mishaps with the blood capsules? 13:07 What was your favourite line your character had to say? 13:13 Was there any character you wished you could play? 13:27 Would you ever make your own version of Love Never Dies? 14:07 If Paul had drank the black coffee what would have happened? 14:16 Did anyone ever pull any pranks? 14:59 Do you have any general advice on life? 15:38 Were there any improvised parts? 15:56 What was your favourite moment backstage? 16:19 What happened to Paul having a carpet? 16:31 If you could chose any other Starkid to play Paul who would it be? 16:45 What is the best food in the universe? 17:05 Did it ever occur to you to have Robert say "Alexa, play Despacito"? 17:21 If you could speak any other language fluently what would it be? 17:35 Can Paul hear the music during Ladidadaday? 17:50 If you had a band what would you call it? 18:14 Were there any moments with fans that really stuck with you? 18:52 What is the name of the song Mariah sings? 19:00 Light or dark mode? 19:06 What was it like to be in a musical but not be allowed to sing? 19:37 Why did Paul ask Bill and Mr Davidson if they wanted a Caramel Frappe specifically? 19:59 How does Paul know the lyrics to Moana? 20:46 Will TGWDLM be coming to Chicago? 20:56 Were there any removed parts that you thought were funny? 21:26 What is your favourite musical? 21:50 What was backstage like? 22:29 Had you met any Starkids before the show? 23:15 How did it feel to have Lauren Lopez spit on you? 23:35 Were you sad when it was over? 24:08 What was your choice for how to play the end of the show?
@@bronwen7662 viewers are divided by whether Paul was indeed infected at the end or iff he was faking it to avoid being murdered. Jon has only confirmed that the writers wanted to leave it ambiguous but he had a particular acting choice for the show
@@spaceant0765 I have a feeling he was faking it. Although, for someone faking it, he could follow the choreography, make up rhymes on the spot, etc. pretty well.
His answer at 19:59 makes me think that Jon’s infamous acting choice lent itself to Paul being turned. Through the course of the musical, the world changes and he can’t conform to the typical office worker life before. It’s all about the experiences for growth. Paul is realizing that feelings are normal and acceptable as he grows a love for Emma, and his secret subconscious love for musicals emerges. As Jon mentioned earlier, being true to yourself is key, and I think that’s the big takeaway from this show. Anyway, this really makes me think Paul was turned.
watching this on what was supposed to be our closing night... our high school’s production of guys and dolls was cancelled because of this pandemic. the part about the diner made me tear up. i was supposed to be at the cast party right now :’) luckily i still have my senior year, but to see all our hard work go to waste and not even get to celebrate it hurts pretty bad
Mandarin is such a hard language to learn! I’ve lived in China for 2 years and have only picked up a little bit since being here. Most of my vocabulary has to do with teaching 3 and 4 year olds or ordering food
I can’t believe that ‘Chess’ is tied for your favorite musical because soo many people don’t know it which is a shame because I love that show so much!!! After watching TGWDLM I was actually thinking that Jeff would make a really good Freddie, lol. Petition for a production of ‘Chess’ with Jeff as Freddie, you as Anatoly and Lauren as Florence?
Please add the full title “the guy who didn’t like musicals” this is the first time this video has popped up in my feed because I never search for tgwdlm. Please update the title so the rest of the fans can see this!
Aw yeah a taz fan!!! When you were making up love never dies all I could think about was taz but I didn’t realize it wasn’t just a coincidence!!! And god now you have me thinking about kravitz getting a musical like damn that would be awesome
for anyone wanting to see the fanart: after a quick search through tumblr, I think I've found it here's the art: 66.media.tumblr.com/8b59345327e7f779877d5efefc4d98f7/tumblr_plk76oSuPG1txtlal_540.png and here's the artist's tumblr: chatterghosts.tumblr.com/
You never find out if Paul was turned into a musical zombie or if he was faking it so Emma could run away. Jon said he played it a certain way but won't tell anyone. Basically, nobody knows if Paul survived except him and he won't tell anyone.
Okay, you describing y’all going to the diner high key had me tearing up??? Because I have so many memories of going with my theater friends to IHOP after a show and just sitting and talking and laughing... literally the best stuff ever. I’m a senior in high school next year, and it’ll be my last musical with this theater group of 4 years. Something about hearing you describe the entire process of this musical just makes me super nostalgic.
But tea- TGWDLM fills my little theater heart with so much joy. I feel like I’ve found something within this show that I’ve been missing for a while- somehow, I’ve found myself through a musical about aliens invading the earth through song and dance.
The way he talks about the Power of Friendship and that feeling of belonging that comes with being in a cast and the universal experience of going to eat greasy dinner food afterwards is... so genuine. It makes my chest ache. It makes me want to guard this man's happiness from every possible harm. On a completely different note, Paul is a tsundere to Disney music is not the take I was expecting but it is the one I will accept.
I'm so happy that he mentioned "Confrontation" from the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde musical, since one of the reasons I love "Let it out" so much is because of how much it reminds me of that song! :D Jon Matteson truly nailed that performance, and that's why it's still my favorite part of the whole show.
the workin boys sweater is a Look
Catherine Hills where did he get it. I need it
Alese Marie they probably have merch that hasn't been released yet but I rly want one too

I don't know about the jumper, but the t-shirt is on their store: starkid.annarbortees.com/collections/team-starkid-productions-apparel (under tgwdlm)
I think Mariah Rose Faith said that he jumpers were only given to members of the cast and crew and stuff
Xenia just commenting to easily get to the link
Okay.
My favorite line in the musical
I KNEW OKAY WOULD BE YOUR FAVORITE LINE 😂😂😂
where can I buy that sweater
im not kidding
give it to me
Hey, this is kinda late, but I think it’s on the Starkid merch site
I would pay to hear Jon sing Not Your Seed
He sort of sang a bit of it in Inevitable
Fixing printers and playing on the internet? Is Paul Pam from The Office??
Lucy Latorre Yup but Bill is just a Kelly
It’s based off Office Space from 1999
I honestly screamed at that ending I'm so mad
hey I'm dumb but could u possibly explain exactly what the question meant?? Like for some reason I just don't get it helpp

If Paul was faking it, the whole theory about the opening song being told after the ending (inevitable) holds up a lot more.
Please stay with Starkid you’re so talented
How could u do us so dirty with that last question tho smh

Let it out is literally so good! Your switch is seamless and amazing!
I’m supposed to be asleep, and I wheezed when he said “I stepped in human poop” so now I’m scared that my mum is gonna take my phone away :(
it's been 3 months. did she end up taking it away?
@@al_exists apparently
Who is Jeff? I would say the person Jon is closest to is Rim Tim.
JON THE ENDING WAS SO RUDE ARE YOU KIDDING ME
watching this on what was supposed to be our closing night... our high school’s production of guys and dolls was cancelled because of this pandemic. the part about the diner made me tear up. i was supposed to be at the cast party right now :’) luckily i still have my senior year, but to see all our hard work go to waste and not even get to celebrate it hurts pretty bad
I'm so sorry to hear that! That really sucks my dude! :(
iconic AND dramatic
Oh hey it’s Ben Bridges.
that love never dies plotline was inspired by taz??? yessss
0:40 when he hit his legs with his hands his shirt flashed
That ending was like *I mean what the fucckkk*
Mandarin is such a hard language to learn! I’ve lived in China for 2 years and have only picked up a little bit since being here. Most of my vocabulary has to do with teaching 3 and 4 year olds or ordering food
I love that you're a TAZ/McElroy fan hell yeah!!! 👏👏
Thanks for this video!!!
I can’t believe that ‘Chess’ is tied for your favorite musical because soo many people don’t know it which is a shame because I love that show so much!!!
After watching TGWDLM I was actually thinking that Jeff would make a really good Freddie, lol. Petition for a production of ‘Chess’ with Jeff as Freddie, you as Anatoly and Lauren as Florence?
“ I would like to learn Mandarin” As a Chinese I couldn’t be more proud and honored
The Adventure Zone!!!! It would make sense for Starkid fans to crossover with McElroy fans actually...
no, no, no, continue, I want to hear what you had to say.
That ending scared me so much lol
i was definitely NOT expecting to hear taz mentioned!!! oh my god!!! he likes the mcelroys!!!
Thank you so much for answering my question (15:00)!!! You're awesome!!!!
But you said you like TAZ so I still respect you
The one dislike is Paul
i imagine for the ending lauren showed up to stop him from spoiling

“Business calls I’m up to my a$$ in s#!+ what is this business”

Miyu Sawai jaime’s married

Miyu Sawai her husbands name is andrew. he proposed in 2017 and got married in 2019
TGWDLM where everything is the same except Paul is an angry feminist who works at BuzzFeed
Mijaqq q now that’s a concept
i'm here for this headcanon

My inner Buzzfeed Unsolved and Boogara self really enjoyed this

That ending is iconic. We ztab.
I will ztab until the end
Ztab?

Professor Hidgens is ICONIC, you’re very correct. Paul’s great too, don’t get me wrong, but HIDGENS!!!
EXACTLY
the only question is:
does Emma like film?
