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

In This Article:

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

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

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

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.

7. Twisted

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

8. The Trail to Oregon!

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.

11. The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
