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

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.

7. Twisted

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

thumbs.gfycat.com

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
