THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 2012 theAvenue WWW.ALLIGATOR.ORG/THE_AVENUE Be like Team StarKid: A “totally awesome” how-to guide ALYSSA HOLCOMB Avenue Writer

Ever dream of working on a hit viral musical about a boy wizard or a futuristic, insect-ridden world that garners more than 100 million YouTube views? What about watching your cast’s recordings of those musicals rise on the Billboard charts? Perhaps you’d like to embark on a multi-city, almost sold-out concert tour to perform songs from said musicals? If any of these dreams have struck an inspirational chord, then take a look at the skyrocketing career of Team StarKid, a rambunctious group of twentysomethings from the University of Michigan who mix stage and pop culture to create a hybrid style of new-age theatre. Here’s a “how-to” designed to put fledgling dreams into fast-forward, whether those dreams are on or off the stage.

Totally Awesome Tip #1: Know your roots Since 2009, StarKid has written, composed and starred in four full-length musicals. Their first was “A Very Potter Musical,” based on the Harry Potter series. After posting videos of their school-based performances to YouTube, they saw the total view numbers rise along with their popularity. One of the group’s co-founders even ventured into the big wide world of Hollywood: Darren Criss, who played Harry Freakin’ Potter himself, scored a role on Fox’s hit series “Glee” and is currently starring on Broadway. Ironically, he took over the lead role from the original Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, in “How to Succeed in Business Without Re- ally Trying.” Photos by Megan Sicks It is these beginnings that could be the start of some- Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts - StarKid turned a dream into a reality this summer. see STARKID, page 9 Four can’t-miss, tasty Gainesville restaurants to discover After all, hipsters know their quality food spots.

Even their magical journey into the musical world of Harry Potter took guts: They were at risk of angering a massive fan- dom with any potential mistake. This bravery didn’t come without precautions. As an article by Christopher Borrelli in the Chi- cago Tribune assured, the group publicly respected the Harry Pot- ter franchise, owned by Warner Bros., by acknowledging that the franchise was not just their own. StarKid knew when to take provisions and how to use that to their advantage, which led to them branching out from the Pot- ter franchise to encompass a variety of stage topics. Groups like StarKid are one of a kind, never to be replicated. However, the group’s success is something that can be shared with any aspiring dreamer. The mixture of acknowledging a starting point, maintaining a relative focus and keeping a courageous attitude allows not only StarKid to continue to rise, but inspires StarKids-to-be and Photos by Megan Sicks the like to pursue their dreams See anybody missing?
