A Harry Potter Post – Musical Edition

‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe may be preparing for his upcoming role in the Broadway musical ‘How to Succeed in Business …,’ but the musical the Potterverse is all dying to see isn’t on the Great White Way, it’s on the Internet: ‘A Very Potter Sequel,’ a fan-made parody musical written, produced and starring Team StarKid, a troupe of University of Michigan students and grads. CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO DIRECTLY GO TO THE MUSICAL The StarKid twenty-somethings, most of whom met at U-M’s musical theater department, became an Internet sensation last year when they uploaded their hilarious original production, ‘A Very Potter Musical’, to YouTube for their friends and family to see. What they thought would reach maybe a few hundred people in their extended social networks has been literally uploaded millions of times by Harry Potter fans around the world. Written by U-M friends and fellow ‘Harry Potter’ fans Brian Holden, Matt Lang and Nick Lang (script) and Darren Criss and A.J. Homes (score), the musical, which became one of the viral videos of 2009, catapulted the young performers, especially the ones who played Harry (Darren Criss), Ron (Joey Richter), Hermione (Bonnie Gruesen) and Draco (Lauren Lopez, yes, Draco is played by a girl) , into a level of fandom stardom that’s only slightly lower than the actual film actors.
