History Creator / TeamStarKid

** As of March 2021 Creator/TeamStarkid has gotten a ColbertBump from Ranboo of the WebVideo/DreamSMP server streaming ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' on Website/{{Twitch}}, connecting Starkid fandom with the -- very young and very active -- ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Website/YouTube fandom.

** Mariah Rose Faith also falls into this category -- although she was already Internet-famous with her Website/YouTube channel of Broadway covers when she first appeared in ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'', she revealed later that she was a huge fan of ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' as a little girl before being cast in the new show.

The group began as friends who met while studying at the UsefulNotes/UniversityOfMichigan and did several projects together, usually in conjunction with [[http://www.basementarts.org/ Basement Arts]], before hitting surprise mainstream success through ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical''.

* Starkid Livestreams: As a way to keep busy during the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, in early 2020 Robert Manion organized some informal livestreams of the Starkids reading classic films from [[TheNineties their childhood]]: ''Film/{{Scream}}'', ''Film/HocusPocus'', and ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues''. (In keeping with the newfound HorrorComedy direction of Starkid as a troupe, all of these films are somewhere on the HorrorComedy spectrum.) All of the livereads are accompanied by the amazing {{improv}}isational skills of Starkid music director Matt Dahan on keyboard. They can be found here:

* SurrealHumor: A lot of their work is ''filled'' with humor that would be considered way too bizarre for the Broadway stage.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7dJX1DFzpc&list=PLvep3WS9e8tQ_iXf7z-GQS3dZnlXzlVrR&index=1 Movies, Musicals and Me]]'': A somewhat bizarre side project, originating as a two-man show with Esther Fallick and Clark Baxtresser in LA in July 2016, then expanded and rereleased as a Web show on [=YouTube=] in 2017. Produced by Esther Fallick, Clark Baxtresser, Pierce Siebers, Nick Lang and Brian Holden. In a parody of AllMusicalsAreAdaptations, the show takes place in a world where ''every'' popular film ever released has been adapted into a musical, from ''Film/TheGodfather'' to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse -- and, moreover, one starring a very old-fashioned campy Broadway diva named Halpert Evans. The show is presented as a [[GreatestHitsAlbum greatest hits showcase]] of Evans' career, with Esther Fallick playing Halpert Evans and Clark Baxtresser as his longtime accompanist and biggest fan Courtney. Includes appearances from Starkid regulars Jaime Lyn Beatty, Corey Dorris, Brian Holden, Nick Lang, Creator/LaurenLopez, Joey Richter, and Dylan Saunders, along with Mary Kate Wiles from ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries''.

Their original musical ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'' broke records as it became the first soundtrack for a college musical to break into ''Billboard'''s Cast Albums chart, debuting at number 11. In July 2010, the group released ''[[http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-very-starkid-album/id382263536 A Very StarKid Album]]'', a compilation album featuring songs from [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical the Harry Potter musicals]], ''WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie'', ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'' and some original music; it rose to number 27 on the [=iTunes=] charts, beating out Music/LadyGaga and the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' soundtrack for a little while. In late 2010, Team [=StarKid=] relocated to Chicago in order to establish a repertory theatre company, where they achieved success as a major part of the Chicago comedy and indie theatre scene throughout the 2010s.

** ''VHS Christmas Carol: Live!'': A live, revised concert staging of the same musical, which played the Bourbon Room in Los Angeles from December 9-11, 2021. Posted on Youtube in 2022.

** WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy is considered adjacent to the Tin Can Brothers (and therefore indirectly adjacent to Starkid), with Shipwrecked's biggest and best-known production [[WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty Poe Party]] prominently featuring Creator/JoeyRichter and Creator/LaurenLopez, and with both troupes frequently overlapping casts with each other and Starkid since then. (Most notable is Creator/CurtMega making his debut in the comedy-web-series universe AsHimself in TCB's ''Theatre/SpiesAreForever'', then appearing in [[WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty Poe Party]] before his official Starkid debut in ''Theatre/BlackFriday''.)

* ''WebVideo/AVHSChristmasCarol'' is a short-form GreenScreen project written as an experiment in doing a "fully produced" video during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, portraying the classic Creator/CharlesDickens novel as a set of ConceptAlbum {{Music Video}}s from TheEighties. Also serves as a ReunionShow for the "first generation" of Starkid actors, bringing back several performers who hadn't appeared in a Starkid show since the Creator/LangBrothers moved their base to LA with ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals''.
