The production is directed by Lauren Lopez with a book by Nick and Matt Lang, music and lyrics by Jeff Blim and choreography by James Tolbert. It will run at the Apollo Theatre from 14 to 30 May 2026.

The cast includes Jon Matteson as Paul Matthews, Joey Richter as Ted Spankoffski, Jeff Blim as Sam Sweetly, Jaime Lyn Beatty as Charlotte Sweetly, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas as Melissa / Zoe / Alice, Corey Dorris as Bill Woodward, Lopez as Emma Perkins, Iván Fernández González as Professor Hidgens, alongside Oonagh Cox, Connor Keetley, Emily Ooi, and Davis Weaver.

StarKid rose to prominence in 2009 with A Very Potter Musical, which became a viral hit and launched the company’s online following. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals has accumulated more than 9.4 million views on YouTube since its 2018 release and was recently revived in California. This marks the first time the show has appeared on a London stage.

The company previously appeared in the UK at The London Palladium with It’s StarKid Innit in 2024 and I Can’t Believe It’s Been a Little Less Than a Year in 2025.
