#avpm

Hi, my name is Derren Criss. I'm 5' 8" on a good day. Based in LA and New York and SAG-AFTRA and Equity. This is my audition for the part of Harry etc. for a A Very Potter Musical.

im 21 and i'm crazy into theatre, musicals and parody. i'm also into gaming, opera, drag and crafts. i'm autistic and trans and fucking lit as hell.

i got into starkid when i was 7 or 8 years old. my sister was really into avpm so i would watch it with her and her friend. from then on i was absolutely obsessed and watched every new show as it came out (anyone else remember watching the shows on starkid's website?). i was and continue to be insufferable about starkid and spent many a break time at school acting out entire scenes and explaining every joke. now me, my sister and our friend have seen starkid in london and we're seeing tgwdlm later this month 😁😁. my favourite show is twisted, i don't like black friday or nerdy prudes or cinderella's castle but the rest i love.

i was always into musicals, my favourites growing up were annie, oliver, thoroughly modern millie, mamma mia, joseph and chitty chitty bang bang. now i'm an absolute sondheim FIEND. and a william finn fiend. im very specific about what musicals i like, im not a big fan of many of the big ones or recent ones because i think a lot of them lack soul but if they're really good fun i forgive it. i fucking hate andrew lloyd webber im sorry i just hate him. i know i said i liked joseph and i still do i just can't stand him or any of his other work. i don't mind some of jesus christ superstar but the rest i could do without. im really big on concept musicals like company and i love shows with a lot of character exploration and interesting scores.

i'm making this blog so that i have somewhere to talk about this stuff because nobody around me is into it like i am and i need an outlet.

i'm gonna talk about both starkid and musicals in general because it didn't make sense to make two separate blogs but to be fair if u like one u should like the other.

this is gonna be my zone to air out my biggest most controversial opinions so if u don't like it GET LOST!
