Review: A Very Potter Musical

I told you before that I have recently become obsessed with Starkid, a musical theatre group that has captured the hearts of many. So why not write a review of their most famous musical, A Very Potter Musical? I promise you, this won’t be professional. It will consist of my fangirling the whole way through. So, on that pleasant note, let us begin!

The musical, written, directed and starring students and recent graduates of the University of Michigan combines the best parts of the seven novels by JK Rowling to create nearly three hours of music filled magical mayhem. I know many of you are Gleeks, so here is a fun fact for you. Darren Criss, who plays Blaine Anderson, plays Harry in this musical. It’s where he started out in his acting and singing career. Here is a list of the full cast.

Darren Criss – Harry Potter

Joey Richter – Ron Weasley

Bonnie Gruesen – Hermione Granger

Jaime Lynn Beatty – Ginny Weasley

Lauren Lopez – Draco Malfoy (yes, a girl plays Draco.)

Joe Walker – Voldemort

Dylan Saunders – Dumbledore

Joe Moses – Severus Snape

Brian Rosenthal – Professor Quirrell

Devin Lytle – Cho Chang

Tyler Brunsman – Cedric Diggory (FIND!), Cornelius Fudge

Sango Tajima – Lavender Brown

Richard Campbell – Neville Longbottom

Jim Povolo – Goyle, Rumbleroar

Julia Albain – Crabbe

Lily Marks – Pansy Parkinson, Molly Weasley

Britney Coleman – Bellatrix Lestrange

This is a must-see musical. Even if you don’t like musicals, or Harry Potter, watch it.

It will get a laugh out of you. Take it from the girl who has all of the songs from the original and the sequel memorized. |(^.^)

That is all for this week, mainly because I can’t think of anything else. Stay totally awesome; don’t forget the Redvines; practice your spells and I will talk to next time! Bye!!
