The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals description
A West End premiere to remember, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is on stage at the Apollo.
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is a horror-comedy musical from the US cult favourites StarKid Productions. The plot follows an ordinary bloke called Paul Matthews who doesn't like musicals. His life is turned upside down when an alien being crash lands in his small town, transforming the whole place into an enormous musical theatre performance as the townspeople are gradually taken over by the alien's scary hive mind. Before long they're all singing and dancing as though life's a musical... and for Paul, it's hellish.
Expect a thrilling mix of chaos, dark humour and catchy show tunes from this viral success, originally created online in 2018 and a massive smash hit on YouTube.
StarKid's UK debut rocked the London Palladium in spring 2024 with its sell-out show It's Starkid Innit. In spring 2025 it also sold out in the capital with I Can't Believe It's Been a Little Less Than a Year. The first instalment in StarKid's Hatchetfield series, inspired by the horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this is also StarKids' 11th stage show, on stage live in the West End for the first time.
A must-see for theatre lovers, the story has already gained icon status. It comes with music and lyrics by Jeff Blim and a book by Matt Lang and Nick Lang. The Choreography is by James Tolbert. Directed by Lauren Lopez, it features Jon Matteson, Joey Richter, Jeff Blim, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, Corey Dorris, and Lauren Lopez. A dream come true for StarKid fans!
