About this event
Monash Uni Student Theatre presents
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals
Originally produced by StarKid Productions
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Blim | Book by Nick and Matt Lang
Directed by Wynter Dallas, Assisted by Bridget Hyde
Musical Directors Jet Spicer (Vocals) & Emily Hayes (Band)
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is a comedy-horror production following Paul, an ordinary man who, ironically, hates musicals, and his coworkers as they attempt to survive a terrifying hive-mind invasion, where singing might just be the end of you. This alien force throws Hatchetfield into chaos and turns everyday life into a musical nightmare. Blending comedy, horror, and absurd musical chaos, this cult-favourite show delivers a fast-paced and unpredictable theatrical experience.
Dark, funny, and wildly original, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is a genre-bending theatrical experience that asks one simple question: What happens when you can’t escape the song? ‘Join us… and die!’
