Paul is a simple man playing the reluctant hero, but whose heart and genuine care for the people he is close to reminds us of the best of humanity when our society is constantly filled with examples of our worst behaviors.

Emma is an intelligent woman whose adventurous life turned into one full of grief for her sister and finds herself stuck in a terrible job in the hometown she tried so hard to get away from. Sure, they are written and played with comedic intent but their lives and place in the plot are human enough that the audience does not need to make the make-believe leap of connecting with non-human or glorified human characters-these people ARE human. Yet, these character types and what they represent mirror the kind of everyday people we see in reality. For example, Professor Hidgens represents the off-kilter scholarly type, Paul is the everyday man dragged into the evil schemes of an unknown being’s plot, Emma is the relatable final girl, etc.

The characters are played to represent a specific type of character often seen in media, and specifically mimic horror movie tropes with a comedic twist. Yet, this production emphasizes the kind of characters and settings one sees in everyday life rather than the characters one sees in a sci-fi novel or fantasy world. By now, the Starkid audience is used to seeing either parodies of well-known works, such as Harry Potter or the DC comic universe, inventive imaginings of other universes or periods of time, such as Starship or Firebringer. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is an interesting work in StarKid’s repertoire in that the characters represented onstage are the most ‘normal’ characters the audience has seen in a StarKid universe. The strong book and emphasis on the characterization of the small main ensemble highlights the incredibly strong performances by the actors. Because of this, the only people who actually perform musical numbers in the show are those around Paul who are infected with this musical disease, which makes each musical performance all the more dramatic, as well as allows for the acting of the main characters to be much more at the center of attention than they would normally be if the characters were expected to sing out their feelings as if the audience were watching them develop through the lens of a traditional musical. It is a musical that is focused on Paul, a guy who, believe it or not, doesn’t like musicals, but due to a mysterious zombie-like infection brought to his town, Hatchetfield, finds himself stuck in an apocalyptic scenario in which anyone can be infected by a hive-mind that forces anyone it infects to behave as if they were in a musical. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals has the most original concept of a musical I can think of for any piece of musical theatre, on Broadway or off.
