14:59 "In your shitty car? Yeah, I'd rather not crash and die, it's fine, thank you."
Boy, that hits different after Black Friday.
Ooof 😅 so true
3:15 Paul isn't necessarily meant to be a piece of shit, although he absolutely has bad points. He's mostly just blunt about his feelings and unwilling to commit to stuff he absolutely knows he won't like. Some autistic people really see themselves in him with some of his behaviors.
Nick Lang has said Paul was written to be 'just a guy', which fits with the title of the show. 😂 I've heard that some autistic people find him relatable too. I think it's partly in Jon's acting (as well as the writing).
Awe that’s sweet!
I might add that since there is definitely an asshole coded character already in the show it really helps to take the edge off of Paul’s bluntness, just comparatively.
Here's something I found regarding Paul's autism, quote from the wiki "Jon stated in one of his twitch streams that Paul might be autistic along with the fact that he believes Paul is autistic coded" I hope this helps!
fun fact abt this song,mariah’s riffing was so consistent that they were able to cut and splice together different days of filming/clips and it would still line up!
Oh that’s insane!
I wouldn't say Paul is a bad guy. I think these characters are all supposed to be average and when you think of the average person, you don't think of them as good or bad. And a lot of times when we interact with the average person, like if you ever had to work in customer service, you think of them as jerks. Not the biggest evils, but they're not great people.
So when Paul tips purely because of an incentive, impressing Emma, it just seems like the average thing to do. Your average person also tends not to give away money to charities/homeless people on the street or sign up for things outside of office hours.
This is all factual. I think that’s why I was confused because they first introduced him as a “piece of shit” so I was going along with the gag. But then I was like… wait, I don’t know if I agree with this lol
If/When you rewatch this kerping your eyes on Paul during the song is so fun because of Jon Matteson's facial expressions.
Must rewatch!
@@singwithAshley Yes, the cast gives great facial expressions in this musical especially, to great comedic effect. I feel like often times people have a "singing face" in musicals, but Starkid shows off their acting prowess by having each character react to the song in a way unique to them. This applies to both the singers and the onlookers in each song, so keep an eye on their faces!
ahhhhh! i’m beyond excited to watch you react to this!!! you were right, alice is bill’s daughter, but his ex-wife (who lives in clivesdale) has custody of her. bill only sees alice a few times a month, which is why he’s so desperate to connect with her!
Thanks for the info and for singing with me!
"my wife" is a reference to borat, in which he says "my wife" in a simmilair tone. something people quote in different peices of media or real life because the way it was said was funny. so ted said "lotte hottie" in the same tone, then made the reference more clear by following it with "my wife"
thanks for your wisdom!
@@singwithAshley I don't know if you watched the whole thing in one go, but later in the musical, Ted tells Paul that Emma is not the "Latte Hatte."
Also, I look forward to seeing if you realize what the entire theme of this musical is. The first time I watched this, I didn't catch it because, well, I'm not familiar with it. But once someone mentioned it in a UA-cam Comment, I went, "OHHHHHH! Well that's just brilliant!" Given what they did with this musical, I'd be surprised if you didn't catch it given who you are and what you do. There's your hint. 😝
@@ForeverDegenerate oooo love this hint! I did not watch it in one go. But at watching in batches! (I can pump videos out faster this way lol)
@@singwithAshleyalso, Lauren and Joey were a couple at this time (2018) but they didn’t get married until just last year.
@@EricWalker-p7e you mean they haven’t been married all their life?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 🤦♀️ #NewStarKidProbs
“You’re a piece of shit so here’s some musical numbers to teach you lessons” no that would be VHS Christmas Carol (which is so fucking good oh my god)
Can’t wait to watch it!
Joey is the best character singer in starkid hands down. He puts on a new tone for every character he plays. This is especially evident in "Spies Are Forever" where he plays 3 plus chars and sings differently for all of them. Wait until you hear his deep dark growly tone in Trail To Oregon or his bright pop-y tone in Starship.
Ahhh can’t wait!
Joey is a force to be reckoned with in Trail to Oregon. I imagine the early conversations went like this:
Joey: Hey Jeff. Which role do I play in your new musical?
Jeff: Yes.
@@dannykent6190 hahaha I can see this being an actual conversation
@@dannykent6190 Same goes for Brian in The Solve It Squad lol
Just remembered that “Homeless Guy” has a secret, but it’s only revealed during Nightmare Time, so I won’t spoil it here. 🤫 It isn’t terribly important to the plot, but it DOES recontextualize his part in all three musicals. 🤯
Ahhh I love hidden Easter eggs like that! Can’t wait!
@@singwithAshley after you've watched TGWDLM you can watch Nightmare Time season 1 episode 2, both Forever & Always and Time Bastard. The story (in two parts) is the absolute best thing Starkid have ever written and it blew my mind. The songs are really good, you could react to those separately. The episode is LONG but it's so so so worth it. Warning: this was a lockdown Zoom project, don't let the format distract you. The story and acting are phenomenal.
In case there's any confusion, all of the musicals (this one, Black Friday, Nerdy Prudes Must Die, and the Nightmare Time web series) take place in Hatchetfield. Clivesdale is the next town over, and we don't like Clivesdale, lol.
Noted!
F*** Clivesdale!
@@singwithAshleybut also, some of them happen in a alternate universe, so not everything carries over from musical to musical
@@FilmingWithEllie whoa 🤯
@@singwithAshley Yeah, each musical is set in the same town (Hatchetfield), but in a different alternate universe. And Nightmare time 2 is all set in the same universe, but NMT1 stories are in diff universes. And the Black and White is outside of all the multiverse. So some things happen the same in each universe (i.e. musical), but some things are different!
I love being in an audience that is immersed with the show, that is the main reason I love live theater is to be with a bunch of people experiencing the show with me, plus how the cast can then play off of the audience's reactions
It’s totally magic 🪄
I enjoy tracking the actors a lot in TGWDLM because it's a really small cast and there is a lot of character changes. Which leads to things like Jamie and Corey just walking off the stage towards the end of this so they can get ready for the next scene. But they do it so smoothly that I didn't even notice until like my 3rd time watching!
It’s so fun! Thanks for singing with me!
Yeah the quick changes in this musical are some of my favorites. Jeff especially has some crazy ones!
you talking about Joeys character voices is making me think of when he did the 'Independance' song in Trail to Oregon where he sings as basically a whole town swapping accessories to be each of them lol, Starkid really have a cool as hell track record of doing the most they can with very few actors and props and I really love it
True theater kids *chefs kiss* 💙
I was looking forward to your reaction to the end of “La Dee Da Da Day” where they say as a group “And…. SCENE!” and disperse like a musical troupe, but you cut it off! Oh, well, I still enjoyed your reactions.
It'll likely show up in the next video, because she normally continues where she left off.
Agh! Sorry to leave you on a cliff hanger!! I already filmed it so I hope I reacted well! 🤣 if I didn’t I’ll make it up to you I swear lol 🤚
That moment when she stopped it hit me like a wall 😂 I literally screamed and pulled my hair
If you want to hear Joey's voice at it's best, you have to see Spies are Forever (amazing!) and Trail to Oregon ( incredible)💜
Aye aye 🫡
Also, as others have said Firebringer for Lauren's best voice, NPMD for Mariah's best voice (even though she's absolutely amazing vocally in anything she does), and personally, Holy musical Batman for Jeff's best voice😄 Looking forward to the rest of this series!
Spies are Forever is so underrated, I definitely hope she watches it!
@@RikkiLove0317 oh I will!
I hope Cup of Roasted/Poisoned coffee will be in the same video
Twist_ending I see you everywhere! Every single Starkid based video I watch I see you in the comments. and that is the realist thing I’ve seen all month lol.
Oh and get ready for Jeff in the next song... a spit-take is a real possibility if you are going to be drinking anything (speaking as someone who did a spit-take) 😂
3:36 Some of us aren’t people like that when we watch but are SO grateful when other people are! I’ve been to shows where no one is like that and things feel so empty.
O truly think that’s why I’m like that. As a performer, I HATE when the audience is dead! I feed off others energy… when there is none, I have none… and then the show is dead too. RIP
@@singwithAshley THIS THIS THIS. performing to a dead audience is so demotivating and also like... oddly mortifying? you feel a bit ridiculous when you get no response, lmao. i've done a few shows where i've had to actively shout over the audience in some scenes (they were reacting as intended, not being rude!) and i'd take that over silence any day tbh 😅
@@gr1mreap3rz15 me too!!
When you get to the end of this musical please watch the audience clapping, actors final bow section- they have a really funny bit there.
Aye aye 🫡
19:50 This is all Jafars fault.
Also! At the end, if you had waited like two more seconds after the song ended. You would have heard a funny little theater joke!
Love the reactions!
stay tuned! I’ll see it in the next video!!
Fun fact: Peanuts the squirrel was in Black Friday, if you know where to look. Curt has him n his pocket, he is a pocket squirrel after all, in the last song!
“Awe! Peanut!” I’ll have to go back and find him!!
@@singwithAshley It's very well hidden.
I can't agree more on how amazing they are at setting the scene with comparatively very little. The sets are often very simple, but the lighting and sound work are so excellent that I'm never pulled out of the scene. Absolutely love Starkid, such a ridiculous amount of talent and love for the stage in one group.
OH, and talking about Lauren, I thought the same thing but I realized that she just really leans into the character's voice when she does these shows and it sometimes affects her voice. You haven't watched it yet, but when you watch Nerdy Prudes Must Die I think it's the most obvious. She has a solo song in that and you can hear her switching between the character voice and her proper singing voice.
Professor Hidgens' acting is definitely inspired by Doc Brown, but when I look at him all I can see is Leonard Nimoy's character in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers with his blazer and turtleneck :D Wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional costume inspiration given the story
Poor homeless guy, he always gets caught up in bizarre stuff going down in Hatchetfield. No matter what universe he’s in
Bahahahaha
I love your face watching Charlotte’s phone call with Sam lmao it was like someone eavesdropping on gossip
I did feel like I was eavesdropping! Hahah I want to hear Al the spilt tea!
Your observations about Lauren’s voice here vs. Black Friday: I've always felt that, besides her being sick, her solo songs in BF might have been a bit too low for her voice. Lauren is very much a high soprano - in fact, in the finale of Holy Musical, Batman, she actually sings a descant part from offstage that borders on being coloratura.
Also, I love how near the end when you put up the text about your lighting situation, you left in the spelling "distate" - just one more bit of beautiful authenticity in your videos!
I’m excited to hear more versatility from Lauren!! I can’t wait to continue exploring her voice via various characters!
Also, spelling errors are definitely a nod from my Attention Deficiency… or my fat fingers… Either way, thank you for viewing it in such a light manner! And thanks for singing with me!
*scans footage frantically* 🤣
@@singwithAshley Authenticity Delightfully Happens, Doesn'tit? (seriously the struggle is real)
@@RobertDPore absolutely, I live on the struggle bus. 🚌
i love seeing other peoples reactions to the hatchetfield trilogy! i think after this, nerdy prudes will DEFINITELY impress you. we get really good vocals from everyone, I would especially point out lauren in her song in nerdy prudes because of what you've said about her showcase!
We all love the smoke club gesture 😂
I think it's really cool that this technically isn't a musical because of how the songs are used. They aren't used to express big emotions like in Black Friday.
Woo! That was fun, thanks. 😊 It's funny to see your reaction to Paul. I think Jon Matteson does the 'he's just a guy' thing perfectly. That's how Nick Lang - director and one of the writers - described what he wanted from Paul LOL. Doesn't sound like much but I think Jon's skill could easily be underestimated at times in this show (I say as a fangirl, probably speaking to other fangirls). 😂
Woohoo!!! 🥳 I think I ran with the “piece of shit” gag too hard from the end of the last video 😂 as they went into the office scene. And was confused why starkid was making that joke because I thought, 💭 wait… I don’t HATE him 🤣🤣
@@singwithAshley I thought the 'piece of shit' was joking about how they are crazed theatre kids who hate him just for not liking musicals because earlier they were like ''should we kill him? should we kill him?'' 😂... all very enjoyable whatever their thinking was lol.
Another episode already? The excitement really builds for this reaction when they come out this quickly.
Oh God! I just remebered what the next song is and I'm dying to see your reaction to that lol
Also glad you're enjoying the show so far, for my part I'm enjoying your videos, keep em coming!
Yes the next song is .....something.
Can’t wait for … something lol
I think you might wanna put the CC on the videos you're watching so you don't mishear the words. It wasn't "I may never go home" it was "I may not have a home"
Haha yeah I tend to have trouble focusing on all the things at once
@@singwithAshley totally understandable
Firebringer has some fantastic Lauren songs!
Can't wait to watch!
I HAVE to sing along any time La Dee Dah Day comes on lol, it's impossible to resist
Love it! Wish I could hear your rendition!
I'm so happy you're doing this musicalll it's so funny your definitely going to enjoy it further
Can’t wait!!
Never realised that this song was a second, in universe, opening number. But you are so right!
if you're wanting and willing to give black friday songs another try, the official recordings are available on youtube, they're much better than the recorded live version (for obvious and understandable reasons)
seeing this uploaded so much faster than usual a few days after the last one makes me so exciting!! I love seeing you chat about everything - so excited for when you move onto the last musical in the trilogy it’s my fave
Awe! I’m so excited too! Stay tuned 👀 and thanks for singing with me! 🤗💙
10:10 is exactly what I think of whenever I add honey to tea. XD
I imagine I will forever more think the same Julia lol
So the thing Ted said is funny cuz its a borat reference but the fact that Joey and Lauren are married IRL does make it funnier now!
So I don’t particularly like Godspell as an audience member, but being in a production can be really special because it’s such a collaborative ensemble show.
I do LOVE a good ensemble show!
2:51 Jamie Lyn is channeling her inner Judy Garland
17:56 Robert is channeling his inner Adam West
12:14 Godspell is awful. If you haven’t watched the AppleTV musical series Schmigadoon! (you must, it’s an absolutely masterful love letter to musical theater), the cringy corniness of Godspell is shown in all its glory.
LOVE IT
YAY! Two videos in a week?? Is this my early (VERY early lol) birthday gift?!
I'm loving this! Keep it coming😍
One of my favorite things is when they sing in character voices, and Joey is very good at it. I'm glad you noticed and talked about it.
Joey is excellent at character voices for sure!! Lauren’s sarcastic “baby voice” while being an asswipe in the coffee shop ☕️ was my favorite. 🤩
@@singwithAshley Ugh, Lauren is fantastic! I noticed most of my comments are about Joey😅🤦♀ I swear I love them all haha.
@@fettuccine_anderhummel I see you’ve picked a favorite child… *tsk tsk tsk* 🤣🤣 I tease I tease. You’re so right! I think together they shine SO BRIGHTLY!
@@singwithAshley Oh, Ashley! I'm Aroace, so when I fall in love with someone, instead of finding them sexually or romantically attractive, I just want to adopt them as my kids, and that makes your statement SO ON POINT!🤣🤣👌 And yes, Joey and Lauren are both my babies and they are PERFECT together🥰
Sorry if I talk too much. I have no one to talk to about this Starkid stuff, and you're very lovely, so I can't help it😅❤
If you wanna heat more of Lauren singing, I recommend Firebringer!
At your command 🫡
Seconded!
Meredith Stepien definitely knew how to write for Lauren's voice.
@@mattmclaren3067 Meredith Stephen was the composer for which show??
Edit: JK I just read ☝️ so firebringer was composed… not by Jeff
Aaahhh this is the best news!!! I love the reaction!
Oohhhh thank you! And thanks for being here and singing with me!
Omg I just started watching the black friday reactions and I saw you posted this 😭😭
Don’t miss out!!
heck yeah la dee dah dah day! things are going to go crazy from here. from the hatchetfield series, guy who didn't like musicals is near and dear to me. the writing is just so good and the escalation is great. the switch from regular town to music fest to the chaos that later unfolds is just. a sight to behold.
in contrast black friday feels the weakest writing wise but wiggly is a very prominent figure throughout and it establishes the black and white very well. nightmare time season 1 & 2 really goes deeper into it if you're willing to watch them, though there are less songs. and then writing wise nerdy prudes must die is the strongest throughout, the pacing is great and it feels like there is no wasted moment.
i'm so excited to see you go through guy who didn't like musicals. it has one of the most iconic starkid songs bar none. note: cup of roasted coffee and poisoned coffee are a set and should be listened to together, because the contrast is insane. (cup of poisoned coffee is right after roasted coffee)
Duly noted! Thanks for all this! I’m buckling up for the chaos!!
Oh no, now I get all the starkid songs stuck in my head everytime you upload. Oh well more singing ^^
You’re welcome lol
Um… I know you’re a vocal coach, but dang! 😮 you got a voice! Sang it, girl!! 😊
🤣🤣🥰🥰
Wooh! New Video! I love it 🎉🎉
ENJOY!
4:54 black friday and tgwdlm both take place in hatchetfield - different universes though
hatchetfield just really hates clivesdale

Love to see you react to this!
Love to see you listen to my reaction!!! Thanks for singing with me!!
Looking forward to you really getting into the story part of the musical
Me too Kilian! Me tooooo
IMO, Paul is not really a POS and that's the point of that joke. The opening number describes Paul in extremes, harshly criticizing him as a terrible person and hyping him up as an impressive leading man, but Paul is not a man of extremes so both of those descriptions are inaccurate. He's not a villain and he's not really a hero, he's just...some guy. Just the most aggressively normal and boring person who gets forced into the role of protagonist despite lacking the qualities we would normally expect him to have (like having a concrete goal that motivates his actions). That's what makes the opening of the show so funny, it builds up these very dramatic expectations for Paul, and then those expectations are immediately thwarted when you actually meet him.
Damn you paused right before the joke... 😅
So I hear! Don’t worry, it’s just a cliff hanger! I’ll catch post applause in the next video! Sorry to leave you hanging! So happy you’re here! 😂
I was wondering about the little flourish Mariah puts on "save" around 24:30, is there a term for that technique? To my untrained ear it sounds like you constrict your throat to give the note a bit of a growling quality, I think I've heard a lot of soul singers do something similar. I don't have much of a background in music so I may be way off base but I'm curious.
I agree that Lauren's singing is better here than in Black Friday, but honestly I think many of the songs in Black Friday (as far as I can remember, its been a while since i watched it) are a bit too low for her sometimes
Yes! I talk about that in my Black Friday Series. It was a common problem for the girls. I also talked about Jaime Lyn having to reach for some low notes that just got lost
@@singwithAshley I just started watching that series now, I'm on What Do You Say. Looking forward to hearing your insights. It's also a problem for me trying to sing along, apparently I can NOT sing low notes haha
You can not like Godspell. That's fine. I love some of the songs but it's kinda a bad show. But, I mean, Victor Garer dancing on top of the brand new at the time (entirely not even OPENED YET) world trade center? I'm all for it.
Disagree, I love Paul
I’m a drug addict for these videos
Dude, same. It's almost embarrassing how much .😅
im just here as your personal enabler!
@@kiraalldredge48 thank you for your service haha!
I don't think Joey and Lauren were married at this time.
Noted!
No, they weren't even engaged at the time, but they had been dating for a long time.
