'StarKid are kicking it up a notch!'
Every production gets better and better in standard. From the lighting, to music, to costume. But the very first performance as I can recall from 2009- 'A Very Potter Musical' which takes a friendly and hilarious stab at J K Rowling's Harry Potter, was a brilliant introduction to the team behind the charismatic and overly talented starkid.
'HMB' set the scene in a noir comic book loyal setting. With a spirit- lifting 80s soundtrack. The pace is good, and refined for a contemporary and grown-up audience. The music you will walk around humming to for weeks, and kick-ass characters that you will crush on for years to come. Though the play is missing some familiar faces, you are blinded by the brilliance of others, especially with starkid newcomer 'Jeff Blim' as the Jim Carrey-esque 'Sweet Tooth'- and he certainly makes the character his own.
For those of you who are profoundly disturbed or adore the dynamic but ambiguously gay duo- Batman and Robin, you will take this play like a piece of candy.
