Awesome / The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

• Credit to Bill, Ted, and Charlotte; they may have weird working relationships with each other, but they all know it's strange when their boss calls people into their office and everyone else left singing. From what they tell Paul, they evaded all the singing and dancing, hiding out in the alleyway.
• When the Hive Mind reveals themselves at the coffee shop and spiked the coffee to boot, Paul's first reaction is to grab Emma, and tell her he knows a way out. They successfully make it to an alleyway that only has non-singing people hiding in the trash cans: Bill, Charlotte, and Ted.
• Ted knocks out Sam with a trash can lid to stop him from shooting Charlotte. This is while he claims that he doesn't care about her, that she was just a warm body to him.
• The beginning of "Join Us And Die", where Infected!Charlotte reveals herself by belting on the word "die." Jaime Lyn Beatty (pardon the pun) kills it.
• The end of "Join Us And Die", featuring Professor Hidgens bursting onstage with a shotgun in his hands and a cigarette dangling from his lip and blasting away Sam and Charlotte. Then he quickly verifies that the others aren't brainwashed by making them sing at gunpoint. After they prove they are human, Paul acknowledges that Professor Hidgens is Properly Paranoid.
• When Bill gets a distress call from Alice, saying that her girlfriend started singing, Bill goes Oh, Crap! but remains calm. He tells her to hide in the high school, don't sing, and he's coming for her. He acknowledges Ted's point that Alice may already be dead and this may be a trap but he still has to try because he's her father, dammit. Paul also admits the odds are low; that's why he is going with Bill to save Alice. Professor Hidgens then lends Bill his shotgun, telling him the quest is dangerous so he needs all the help he can get.
• Paul also successfully leads Bill into the school and avoids detection. If Alice had been alive, then they would have gotten her out with minimal complications.
• "Show-Stoppin' Number", where Professor Hidgens reveals his true intentions in a dazzling song-and-dance number that Robert Manion absolutely nails.
• When Paul is almost taken over by the plague, he loudly declares "I Don't! Like! MUSICALS!" and blows up the meteor.
  • The whole standoff at the Starlight Theatre is a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Paul. He's obviously terrified, but is completely willing to die to save the world from the apotheosis. Even when the spores from the meteor start affecting him, he fights through it as best he can before finally giving his Pre-Mortem One-Liner. Sure, he didn't succeed in the end, but what a way to go.
• This whole show is an acting CMOA for all the actors involved. From Lauren’s astounding delivery of Emma’s monologue about her sister to Joey’s asshole-ish Ted, to Corey’s heartwrenching facial expressions during “Not Your Seed” as Bill, not to mention Jon’s incredible moments as Paul fighting against the alien spores infecting him, this show provided acting opportunities for everyone involved that were significantly different from a lot of Starkid’s previous material. And, as Emma herself said, they “fuckin' killed it”.
