They’re catchy enough and the lyrics are well written, it’s just that the melodies don’t line up quite right and it proves to be very distracting for me. It sometimes seems like the melody of the lyrics he writes doesn’t always match the melody of the music he’s written, and so the songs don’t quite mesh together as well as you’d want them to. That’s mainly down to Jeff Blim’s songwriting style, I think, as I had similar issues with Trail to Oregon, the other Starkid musical that he wrote the music for. Much of it is fun, but some of the songs just don’t land for me. The only part that I didn’t really love was some of the songs. If I had to place it on a list, it’d probably be in the upper half of their musicals. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals isn’t one of Starkid’s best musicals but it’s not one of their worst, either. It features a book by Nick & Matt Lang, and music & lyrics by Jeff Blim. It was funded through Kickstarter and had its premiere run in Los Angeles, CA in October, 2018. ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals’ is a musical horror-comedy by StarKid Productions. But Paul’s small world is about to come crashing down under the weight of unspeakable terror! Now he must run, run for his life, as something sinister spreads, and grows, and sings, and dances! The town of Hatchetfield is plunged into a musical hell in… ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals!’ He likes movies, and pizza, and average guy things. It’s a whole lot of fun and I quite enjoyed it. It’s the perfect musical for all those who wonder how all of the people in the worlds of musicals always know the complicated song-and-dance numbers that make up musicals! The newest musical from Team Starkid takes inspiration from sci-fi films and musicals such as Little Shop of Horrors as a meteor featuring an alien intelligence known only as the Apotheosis – an intelligence that makes all who encounter it break out into song-and-dance.
