* ADayInTheLimelight: One reason for the controversial "non-musical musical" concept was to give stage time to Creator/TeamStarkid members more known for their acting than singing ability, most notably Chris Allen and Nick Lang. (On the flipside, this musical also allowed Starkid's longtime musical director and band leader Clark Baxtresser to sing in a show for the first time instead of just providing accompaniment.)

Another parody musical by TeamStarKid, this time focusing on ''Franchise/StarWars'' and 80s sports movies, ''Ani: A Parody'' focuses on Darth Vader between the original and prequel trilogies. Vader (who goes by the name "Ani" here) is going through a midlife crisis, missing his time as a podracing champion in his youth. When he is offered a chance to leave the Empire, he leaps on the chance to return to Tatooine. Cue obscure Star Wars jokes and more [=StarKid=] AlternateCharacterInterpretations. It was staged using about half of the Starkid cast, with the other half doing ''The Trail to Oregon'' on alternating days at the same theater
