⭐ THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS – WEST END PREMIERE ANNOUNCED ⭐
The West End premiere of StarKid’s THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS has been announced.
The American cult-favourite theatre company, StarKid, is headed to the West End with THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS, playing its first ever London season at the Apollo Theatre, in May 2026.
Originally taking YouTube by storm in 2018, this horror-comedy musical follows Paul Matthews, an ordinary guy, whose life is forever changed when the crash landing of an alien entity turns his tiny town of Hatchetfield into the most horrifying nightmare he can imagine… a fully staged musical.
This remounted version promises even bigger chaos, sharper laughs and more show-stopping musical mayhem than ever before.
The cast features Jon Matteson, Joey Richter, Jeff Blim, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, Corey Dorris and Lauren Lopez.
Since its parody sensation A Very Potter Musical went viral in 2009, StarKid has built a devoted fanbase with 15 full-length musicals, viral videos, sequels and an anthology series, notching up a total of over 358 million views on the StarKid Productions’ YouTube channel.
Now, for the very first time, Team StarKid is bringing one of its most iconic shows to the West End stage.
Get ready for catchy tunes, darkly comic chaos, and a musical that’s completely unlike anything you’ve seen before. StarKid is back – and the music has officially taken over.
StarKid made its UK debut at The London Palladium in May 2024 with the sell-out IT’S STARKID INNIT and returned to the venue in April this year with I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S BEEN A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR, which also sold-out.
THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS is written by Nick and Matt Lang with music & lyrics by Jeff Blim. Directed by Lauren Lopez and featuring choreography by James Tolbert.
THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS will play the Apollo Theatre, running from 14th – 30th May 2026, with tickets on general sale from 21st November 2025 – 10am.
Fantastic! ! !
