Presenting Third Place Productions’ Winter Mainstage Musical: The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals. Everything in Hatchetfield 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 in this horror sci-fi comedy musical! 

THE APOTHEOSIS IS UPON US!!

The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals features music and lyrics by Jeff Blim and a book by Nick and Matt Lang all originally produced and licensed by Starkid Productions.
