The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals Tickets

First seen online in 2018, this horror-comedy show by US theatre company StarKid tells the story of Paul Matthews, an average guy who just doesn't like musicals. But Paul's life is turned upside down when aliens invade his small town of Hatchetfield and turn it into a fully staged musical, absorbing the townsfolk into a hive mind that forces them to sing and dance. Loosely inspired by Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this musical combines science-fiction horror with black comedy and a joyful, irreverent parody of the musical theatre genre.

StarKid is best known for its hit parody of Harry Potter, A Very Potter Musical, which went viral in 2009. The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is the first installment in its Hatchetfield series. After being funded through Kickstarter, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals premiered in LA in 2018, with a recording being uploaded to YouTube the same year, where it instantly went viral. Now a staged version will transfer to the West End in May 2026. This remounted version will be directed by Lauren Lopez. It is written by Nick and Matt Lang, with music and lyrics by Jeff Blim and choreography by James Tolbert. The cast features Jon Matteson, Joey Richter, Jeff Blim, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, Corey Dorris, and Lauren Lopez.

It's time for London audiences to see what all the hype is about - book soon and get ready for an alien invasion like no other.
