In the spring of 2009, four performances of an original work were staged by a group of friends in the Basement Arts theater at the University of Michigan. Those actors, writers, and musicians had a hit on their hands and went on to form StarKid, staging four more Internet-only original musical parodies.
Three years later, that show, “A Very Potter Musical,” recorded at Basement Arts, has played on YouTube nearly 9 million times.

I was lucky enough to see the SpaceTour when it came to Boston in November. StarKid is truly a joy to watch because you can tell just how much fun they have together and how much they feed off of the audience.
Starkid are AMAZING and great role models for kids. They are fun and inspirational!
