If I believed from Twisted:The untold story of a royal vizier fits John I think
An excerpt from the song-
'Science says you're dead and gone forever
Reason says I'm talking to the air
But something in my heart
Some secret hidden part
Illogically insists that you are there
Somewhere'
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk once again

Everyone Listens to Starkid, Right??
So, my partners (who shall remain nameless. I know you see this) have not listened to or watched any Starkid/TCB productions.
Starkid is a musical theatre production team that posts all of their musicals on YouTube, FOR FREE.
I will provide links down below to some of their shows, but this blog might become a Starkid Fan Page if I’m not careful.
Some Starkid Musicals That Are Great To Start With (And my Personal Review)
A Very Potter Musical - A Harry Potter Parody Musical. Some older Starkid Shows are split into a video per scene. This was the first Starkid Musical, was made when the members were in College in 2009 (almost 11 years ago). The audio and video quality aren’t the best, since it was 2009, but it is still an enjoyable comedy. As special of a musical it is in my heart, however, it has a scattered plot. It is the first of three “A Very Potter” Musicals. Draco Malfoy is played by a young woman, who rolls on the floor. Darren Criss, better known for his acting as Blaine in Glee, begins his acting career as Harry Potter. Made me ship Voldemort and Quirrel. 9.8/10 You won’t regret it, This Musical is Totally Awesome!
Official Description: Harry and his pals are in for adventure when the Dark Lord returns from the dead to take revenge on The Boy Who Lived! So take a ride on Voldemort's flying machine and get ready to go back to Hogwarts!
Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizer - This Musical is impressive. It’s Wicked, but it’s Aladdin. It’s heartfelt, but it’s an absolute joke. It is, somehow, as traditional as Sondheim and as fresh and new as Lin Manuel-Miranda. Long story short, It may be one of my favorite Starkid musicals. Twisted focuses on the classical Disney villain, Jafar. The musical tells a different story from that of Aladdin, however. In it, the Sultan is an incompetent man, and needs his Vizer, Jafar, to care for the country. Jafar, however, is hated by the people, who don’t seem to understand practicality. Aladdin is not a sympathetic Diamond in the rough, but a crazy, murderous, scoundrel. Jasmine, who, to my knowledge is only referred to as “The princess” is a well meaning, but ineffectual and oblivious at best and at worst, ditzy, and incredibly stupid. She is, however, an endearing thing, and I found myself loving her more by the 2nd act. 15/10 THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, JAFAR!
Official Description: Hop on your flying carpet, because this musical parody retells the classic tale of Aladdin... from the villain's point of view! Long ago in a Magic Kingdom, one misunderstood Royal Vizier will go on a quest to save his city from its bumbling sultan, an invading prince, and the most notorious thief to ever live! With the help of the Kingdom's free-spirited, teenage Princess, the Vizier must find a magical lamp containing a wish-granting Djinn (who's really funny, by the way) and defeat the city's most-wanted criminal... Aladdin! This musical adventure celebrates and lovingly pokes fun at everyone's favorite series of hand-drawn, animated films.
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals - A horror-comedy about singing aliens who possess people! Sounds fun! The first Starkid musical I ever listened to. *gasp* they’re a... NEW FAN??1!1!!?? Yes. I admit it. I had never seen anything Starkid related (except for the Edgar Allen Poe Murder Mystery from Tin Can Bros... long story) I honestly thought, at first, that it was a guy who was ranting online about not liking musicals. Then, when I found out IT WAS a musical, I figured it was about some guy learning how to enjoy musicals. BOY, WAS I WRONG. TGWDLM follows the title character, Paul, played by Jon Matteson. This musical and it’s sequel gave birth to a lot of what I call Baby Starkids. New additions to the cast. Now, I consider Robert Manion part of this list, because baby didn’t get enough screen time in Twisted, damnit. 11/10. Robert’s Hip Wiggles. Watch, and you’ll know.
Official Description: Everything in Hatchetfield seemed normal until people began singing... Then, they began dancing... And now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future.
