SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Everything in Hatchet Field seemed normal until people began singing... Then, they began dancing... And now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future.

The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is a horrifying new comedy musical from StarKid Productions, the creators of A Very Potter Musical, Firestarter and Twisted!  

We will be accepting 10-15 diverse, funny, committed actors.  This is a true ensemble production and wickedly funny.  Please research and understand the content of this show and script.  

Theater360 is for every level of performer. 

West Valley Performing Arts is committed to diverse and inclusive casting. We encourage performers of all races, ethnicities, body types, gender identities, sexual orientations and disabilities to audition. All performers for this production must be 18 and older.
