11 Non-Basic Musicals That Will Rock Your Socks Off If You're Over Hamilton

Instagram

About nine years ago, my sister and I were watching those old Potter Puppet Pals YouTube videos when a suggested video popped up: "A Very Potter Musical: Act 1, Part 1". Naturally, we were intrigued, given our obsession with Harry Potter and the way we grew up. We watched the entire musical in one night, a musical that was written and performed by college theater students who just wanted to have a good time. It was a wonderful, hilarious production that I adore to this day. Over time, they graduated from college but continued to produce their amateur musicals, and I have watched each one religiously. If you are ever in need of a laugh or just something to watch, these are excellent.

1. A Very Potter Musical

Giphy

From Darren Criss's interpretation of Harry to Lauren Lopez's hysterical rendition of Malfoy and his Slytherin personality, there is no end to the laughter. Each character is over-acted and it is fabulous.

2. Me and My Dick

Giphy

A young man forgets about his heart when he becomes best friends with his penis. The best and most realistic love story.

3. A Very Potter Sequel

Giphy

Joe Walker is the perfect Umbridge, and steals the show from the main characters.

4. Starship

Giphy

A bug wants to leave his bug life behind and become a starship ranger.

5. Holy Musical B@man

Giphy

Batman is all alone in the world and Superman is a loser that no one wants to be friends with. And all of them wear underwear over their tights.

6. A Very Potter Senior Year

Giphy

The final installment of the "Very Potter" trilogy is a stage reading that was performed live at LeakyCon and gives us a final goodbye to Darren Criss, who portrayed Harry Potter in all of them, and a special guest Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the actual films.

A parody of "Aladdin" in which Jafar is not necessarily the villain...

8. The Trail to Oregon!

shortstorylongblog.files.wordpress.com

It's a build-your-own adventure in which you choose the names of the family members and where they came from! It's a wild ride on the Trail to Oregon.

9. Ani: A Parody

It's a "Star Wars" parody that is different than the rest of Starkid's productions in a few ways.

10. Firebringer

There was a world before fire...and a world after. And this is the greatest tribe in the world.

It's the zombie apocalypse, but everyone infected can't help but sing!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
