History Theatre / Apocalyptour

* ShaggyDogStory: None of the Dikrats' efforts to appease Ma'au Gurrit work in the end, but it doesn't matter because Ma'au Gurrit has mistimed the date of the apocalypse anyway. (Of course, saving the world [[SpoofAesop turns out to be less important]] than GettingTheBandBackTogether in the first place.)

* ShaggyDogStory: None of the Dikrats' efforts to appease Ma'au Gurrit work in the end, but it doesn't matter because Ma'au Gurrit has mistimed the date of the apocalypse anyway.

* TheOtherDarrin: As in most Starkid productions since [[IncrediblyLamePun the original Darren]] got [[RealitySubtext swallowed by a Fox]], along with other [[AbsenteeActor Absentee Actors]]. But most notable is Joe Walker replacing Jim Povolo as Mr. Freeze even though Jim Povolo ''is'' part of this tour, but unavailable because he's the non-singer as Margaret.

* ADayInTheLimelight: As in the SPACE Tour, Darren Criss' absence means that his songs get split up between Brian Holden and Dylan Saunders, who up to this point had only played supporting roles in Starkid's full theatrical productions. (With Brian also replacing Tyler Brunsman as Lucius Malfoy, this is the highest percentage of onstage focus he's had in a Starkid production yet.)

* VillainSong: The Rogues Medley is a compilation of three of these ("It's Not Over Yet" from Theatre/AVeryPotterSequel, "Kick It Up A Notch" from {{Theatre/Starship}}, and "Rogues Are We" from Theatre/HolyMusicalB@man) and is one of the most popular songs from this concert.

But most notable is Joe Walker replacing Jim Povolo as Mr. Freeze even though Jim Povolo ''is'' part of this tour, but unavailable because he's playing TheNonSinger as Margaret.

* TheOtherDarren:

* AdaptationalVillainy: This isn't Brian Holden's first time [[{{Theatre/Starship}} playing a villain]], but unlike the LaughablyEvil junior, he manages to fill Tyler Brunsman's role as the [[Theatre/AVeryPotterSequel supervillainous Lucius Malfoy]] with aplomb.

%% * ApocalypseHow

* CastShowoff: Meredith and Brian R are both seen playing musical instruments during "Kick It Up A Notch".

--> Brian H: There used to be a fourth wall there.

* ActingForTwo: Brian Rosenthal, who plays both himself and Joey's Heart.
** The [=StarKids=] decide that HumanSacrifice is the only option to appease Ma'au Guurit, and perform surgery on Joey to remove his heart. At the start of this scene, Brian is on-stage as himself. When the rest of the cast surround Joey, Brian is hidden from view, allowing a costume change before Joey's Heart is revealed.
*** It is not explained where Brian (the character) went during this scene. He reappears alongside the rest of the cast in the following song.
* ActorAllusion: According to the prophecy, [[DarrenCriss one Starkid]] will be swallowed by [[{{Glee}} a giant Fox]] and another (Joe Moses) will lead the Jews out of Egypt and host his own One Man Showeses.

Apocalyptour is the second national tour of Creator/TeamStarKid, which is more story driven than the SPACE Tour. The [=StarKids=], having given up singing and dancing, have turned to their true passion of archeological digs until they unwittingly unearth the Mayan God of Chaos and Death, Margaret, who is ready to bring about the 2012 apocalypse. Fortuneately, Margaret is also the Mayan God of Musical Theater, and gives the [=StarKids=] a chance to save the world by putting on a concert.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Margaret materializes an audience. {{Lampshaded}} of course.

* TheDanza: Everyone except Margaret and Joey's Heart.

* TomTheDarkLord: Margaret the Mayan God of Chaos and Death.
