Lauren getting really into her sojndchecks while wearing a wigcap in full glam is peak comedy. Also james hitting thag whisle tone has me wheezing
Hehehe agreed!
Meredith falling asleep on the floor of a party is the most relatable content I have ever seen
It's a classy move I like to pull every once in a while 😎
Lauren looks like a very well-dressed Gollum when she's wearing the hairnet.
hehehe I love it
I was at Saturday night's show and loved it!
I didn't notice any mistakes and it was so special. All the cast's hard work paid off!
Every change made to Act 2 worked really well and I really like how Scrooge showed up in Act 1. Everyone did great! And thanks to Jade for selling me the pins! I won't be scalping them, I like them too much!
Yay! Thank you so much for coming!!
OMG THAT WAS ME AND MY COUSIN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT AT 4:10
We loved the show so so so much! It was absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for such a fantastic show!
Yay!!! Thank you for sharing!!
This is my favorite vlog series about America's infrastructure lol. But in all seriousness I love this show and am so thankful for all these behind the scenes moments! Glad yall had a successful run! Yall are so talented and worked so hard yall deserved it! Rest easy!
Hehehe gotta address the infrastructure!
Getting to see an actual Starkid performance in person was on my bucket list and now I can die happy.
Same! I was at opening night and the first five minutes of the show I just sat with my mouth open.
Awww yay!! Thank you for coming!
it is my (very unrealistic) mission to see a VHS Christmas Carol/Carols live (whether it be like the musical or a concert) at least once in my life. i love it so much and it is honestly one of my favourite thing about Christmas and i look forward to these vlogs throughout watching it
100000/10 recommend. Traffic was terrible, but the show, and this amazing group of people, were so worth it!
Yay!! It's my favorite musical! Maybe next year!
aww glad y’all got my letter with the disney sticker! thank you so much to Jade for passing it on!
Thank YOU!! Such a sweet letter!
I literally rented the digital ticket as soon as it was available! This show is so incredible!
Yay!! Thank you for supporting us!
The digital ticket was amazing! It was so well edited in such a short time! I really appreciate the fact you guys do digital tickets, as living in Australia coming in person isn't really an option for me! VHSCC is my mum's favourite musical of all time and it was really special being able to buy her a digital ticket for Christmas! She loved it, and you're her favourite Starkid Meredith ☺️
Omg!!! Thank you to your mom!! And to you!
I completely agree with you Meredith, this is my favorite Starkid show. The music is just, mwah, chefs kiss. I was crying so much on Saturday night. (Also I feel bad because I bought literally the last t-shirt there😅, sorry folks who wasn’t able to grab one there). First time seeing a Starkid show live and praying to Satan (who’s a real man) that I’ll get to see another. Stay safe!
Aww thanks for coming and buying a shirt!! Sorry there weren't more but we appreciate the support so much!
watching the vlogs and knowing how much u cried and then watching the digital ticket…i completely understand u now. and i love how you can see you tear up in the digital ticket as soon as jaime as the grandma starts singing.
loved this musical and these vlogs!!! cant wait to continue supporting starkid❤️❤️
Yeah Grandma really got me going every night!!
I hate resellers with a passion, im so sorry people were doing that 😭
Yeah it really bummed me out!
10:15 Curt and Angela loving on Luna is beyond cute omggg
Best week of Luna's life
Got to see this year’s production, and I’m biased to say the show I saw the best _expressly_ because now my boyfriend is excited to see a licensed production of Firebringer next year.
But really, excellent job everyone. This year’s additions and changes pulled everything together in a really good way and probably introduced a majority of the audience to the two new carols/stories. The hair game and staging have only gotten better, in my opinion.
Yay! Thank you for coming!
Obsessed with Jaime Lyn’s slow YMCA
It really had me giggling!
DUUUDE- I live in Arlington Texas and our city is required to always make a parking lot when a certain amount of apartments or houses are built. There is genuinely no sidewalks or anywhere you can walk safely here or in our County. It’s genuinely crazy. Like you have drive somewhere to a type walk, it’s insane
Yes!!!! You can vote against minimum parking requirements- it's like one of the only ways we can try to create change... it's so frustrating!
My cousin and I were the glasses front row crying ones!!! I saw Meredith crying and it only made me sob more! This show was So excited from my hat and scarf to be delivered :)
Awww yay! Thank you!!!
Ok but the revival of When The Boys Get Home, both 14 year old and 25 year old me are crying 😭
I was there for the final show on Sunday! I don’t have words for how incredible it was to experience this live. Before this show, I had NEVER before bought into the “Christmas spirit” sentiment (at least not since I was a little kid)… but that completely changed after I saw this jaw-dropping performance in person.
If you can afford the digital ticket, I IMPLORE you to GO for it! Trust me-you will NOT be disappointed!
Aww yay!! Thank you for sharing!
i was at both saturday shows and have already rewatched the digital ticket many many many times... vhscc was already my fave and this year was just so amazing
Omg!!! you're so supportive!!
I was at the Saturday night show and it was such a wonderful experience! As a lyric theatre student hoping to come into the industry, this company is really an inspiration and reflection of the familial and meaningful art I want to spend my life making, and it was amazing to finally see you all live-congrats on a wonderful show!
Yay! Thank you for coming!
VHS just keeps getting better! I had such a great time with the digital ticket and 100% cried along with you :,) I also very much enjoyed watching the laptop problems in real time lol. And well done on Last Christmas, it popped up on my spotify this morning, you and clark sound great!!
LOL yeah those laptop problems really worked out!! PHEW! And yay for Last Christmas!!!
… can we please have the sneaky link for Brian’s sweater too 😋😅??
only if every single person in the audience of the next VHSCCS promises to wear the sweater
Hehehe!!! I don't have the link but it's on amazon I think.... It's so cute, isn't it??
@@MerediddyS I found it!! 😋 thank you!!!
WE NEED BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!! GO OFF!!!!!!
Hehehe can't help it
There are people selling the coasters?! That was one of the items that I was most excited to buy! I am super happy with the other merch I was able to get, but I wanted a coaster so badly! Why would you resell them?!?!?! I would never let mine go! It's so personal and cute!
I wanted the coasters too! Unfortunately, scalpers probably know people like us want them so bad. Greed over fans, I guess :(
Whatever you do, don't buy them from a scalper! Not only doesn't it support SK, but it encourages future scalpers.
Yeah, I wouldn't want that money to go to anyone but them anyways. I truly hope no one buys them from the scalpers. I'd rather just send Starkid the $75 or whatever the scalpers are selling them for.
Awww thank you. Next year I will make more!!! I promise!!!
I was there for your last show and cried SO MUCH, I felt very comforted when I looked up and saw you were crying/trying not to cry too.
Yes!!! It's too beautiful!!
Would absolutely purchase Meredith-made items! Thank you for taking us back stage! Love seeing that stuff - similar theatre kid stuff happening everywhere, lol!
Yes!!! You can always count on theater kid stuff :)
Congrats on the successful shows. Your backstage footage is really fun. I cannot wait to watch it on the digital ticket!
Yay!! Thank you!
Watching backstage footage gives me just wonderful Theatre Kid nostalgia. Well done to all! Can't wait to watch with my wife and kids later this week!
Yay!! Thank you so much!
It was wonderful! We're going to make the trek to Chicago to see it live next year if you all do it again! @@MerediddyS
Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse from behind the scenes ❤
Thank YOU for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing these vlogs! I’ve been following you guys and your work for over a decade, since I was a little teen. It’s what got me into theatre, and I still get so excited for every new project and show you guys put out. The thing about Starkid for me is that you can so easily see what the greatest thing about this form of art is - the community. The sense of camaraderie and belonging is just as clear in a Starkid show as it is in any given dressing room or rehearsal space. I feel almost like I grew up with all of you. It’s so fun to see all the bts content!
Totally agree about community being EVERYTHING! Thank you for sharing!
awww Meredith sleeping on the floor at the end. Get some rest, you all deserve it!!
I couldn't help it 🤓
lol i was at the third show and I was so watching you and Clark fiddle around with the computer during Act 2 and thinking “hm they look panicky but nothing sounds wrong, i can’t wait to watch Meredith’s vlog and see what happened”
OMG!!! You caught us. Now you know!!!
I was there for opening and it was so magic!! Everyone did such a wonderful job, it's such an amazing and beautiful show (How Dare Clark be so talented???), and I feel so privileged and honored to have seen it. Can't wait for next year! (Also as someone who bought several coasters and will keep them forever--I've been looking for a cute coaster set that spoke to me for like a whole year and I knew the moment I saw them i knew they were the ones. Thank you for making them!)
Awww yay! Thank you for coming and for buying my coasters to support the show!!
Yay i cant wait to watch the digital ticket!!! Proud of you, Meredith!!! Y'all killed it!
Thank you so much!!
Meredith - I was looking forward to this video after watching the digital ticket on the weekend. Your vlogs have a lot of heart and brings us closer to your work and friends. The new show is amazing and everyone brings in their best. You and Clark really did an amazing job, because I had absolutely no idea something had gone wrong with Clark's computer during the recorded shows. Thank you for your generosity in shooting, editing and sharing these vlogs. Lots of love from Brazil.
Awww yay!! Thanks so much for supporting and watching!!
I got the digital ticket as soon as I coul and I loved it so much! This show is so special! Thanks for documenting this little journey for us
Yay!! Thank you so much!!
I loved VHS Christmas Carols so much! I bought the digital ticket as soon as it came out and watched it 3 times. I love all the new music. Also, Meredith I appreciate these vlogs so much, thank you thank you for fixing us a behind the scenes peek into everything. It’s truly astounding how hardworking and talented you all are! And if/when you make more coasters, I want to buy one very much!
Aww yay!! I'm thinking about making more... I'll keep everyone updated hehehe!
I watched the digital ticket and it was such an incredible show, congratulations everyone!! Probably my fave thing Starkid has done!! Already planning on buying the ticket again to watch with my family over Christmas!
It's my favorite Starkid show too!! I love it so much!
I was offered tickets to go see this last minute, but due to conflicts I wasn't able to go. It's so awesome that there are these vlogs so I can see the work that went into this production, and I hope it gets posted on CZcams at some point so I can appreciate it more. :]
AWww dang!! Maybe next year!! There's a digital ticket available now if you're interested!
the laundry song takes me back!!!
Hehe you remember!!
My first time ever seeing starkid in person!! Y’all ate down severely I’m obsessed
I finally watched the digital ticket just before watching this video! The show looked great, I love seeing it evolve year after year. That's so upsetting that someone is upselling your coasters. They're definitely worth more than $10 though, you put hard work into those.
Aww thank you!! I'll make more next year for sure!
I really hope you all do this show forever. It's so damn good. And thanks for these behind the scenes looks they are so amazing.
I hope so too!!
I cried so much watching the digital ticket of this show and every time I was crying I then chuckled cause I could see you keeping those tears in. What a beautiful and amazing show you all put on!!!!! I was having a very bad week having to say goodbye to a pet and knowing I would get to watch VHS Christmas Carols at the end really helped me get through a hard time. Thank you Meredith for a little behind the scenes of such a magical production! Can't wait for next year's version, heeheehee!
Oh noooo I'm so sorry to hear about your pet! Our pets are our families and it's so so hard! I'm glad VHS was a warm hug for you- it does that for me too! Thank you for sharing!
Finally watched the show today, pure magical brilliance. Clark and James killed it putting this incredible show. You are all such wonderful people and it's always an absolute joy watching you guys. Congratulations to you all for another home run of a show, thank you for sharing it with us and here's to the next one ❤
Yay!! Thank you so much!!
I have enjoyed this series of vlogs so much!!! However you guys present it, I WILL see VHS Christmas Carol next year ❤ Also I’m so mad on your behalf for resellers upselling your coasters??? That’s so infuriating!
Yay!! See you next year then!
This was so wonderful to watch! I love seeing your behind the scenes videos each year for VHS Christmas Carol. Hope to catch it live one day, but until then, I will definitely be buying the digital ticket. 😊
Also, shame on those Ebay resellers! They're probably the same people who go to Disneyland/world, buy all the popcorn buckets and merch, and resell them for twice as much. Truly disgusting. If I bought one of your coasters, I would never want to give up a Meredith original!
Oof yeah I wish they hadn't done that and just left the coasters for other folks to buy!!
was able to buy a digital ticket and i watched the show so many times before it expired!! this year’s iteration was the best yet, thank you all so much for your hard work that made the show possible! it all looked so damn good (the costumes, the choreo!) and everyone sounded so beautiful singing clark’s music. act 1 definitely has some new favorite starkid songs of mine!! i will be thinking about this show lots during this holiday season, it brought me so much joy 💓
and thank you for these vlogs documenting the process as always meredith! always makes me excited to wake up on wednesdays to a new vlog from you 🥰
I agree it's the best yet!!! It'll only get better!!
watched the digital ticket 6 times before it ran out. thank you all for another amazing show!!!
Omg!!! So supportive!! Thank you!
The show was so amazing. I loved gift of the magi and the little match girl so much. Everyone did such a great job! I hope to see it live someday
Thank you so much!!
so beautiful- congratulations, yall! your coasters are priceless
Thank you so much!!!
It really sucks that a few bad apples who were lucky enough to attend shows took advantage and tried to cash in up selling merch to people who couldn't make it, scalpers always ruin things for real fans
Such a bummer!!!
As someone with a mullet, I really thought you had cut your hair when I watched the recorded show! I didn’t know you just pinned it until I watched this! Y’all killed it this year as always, I had so much fun watching the show and the BTS! And my best friend and I sang Tim’s heart is Big Chungus when we were watching. ❤💚
Yay!! My mullet really looked genuine for the last show at least!
It was like a fun Easter egg of your channel to get to buy merch from Jade!
I love watching your vlogs after a stressful day❤
Awww I'm sorry your day was stressful! Thank you for watching!
Meredith is amazing.
Omg thank you!!
will there eventually be a soundtrack with the new songs for us to buy at any point?!! loved the show
Definitely!!
As always thank you so much Meredith for the awesome content and congrats on the show!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
You guys did such an amazing job!! I saw the third and fourth show and it was incredible both times. Watching this back made me cry, I wanna see it again😭
Awww yay!! Thank you for coming!!
Your VHS playlist is my fav. Glad we got more videos added to it this year!
Hehe yay!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I’m so exited to watch the digital copy here in Canada!!
Yay!! Thank you for supporting!
thanks so much for these vlogs!! I did a show around the same time as you guys (overlapped a couple days) so it's fun seeing what you were up to in your much more professional production haha. that after-party looked so cosy!!!
Awww yay!! Hope your show went well!
I love you guys❤❤❤❤
🥰
The city I’m in just got rid of mandatory parking minimums! (Durham NC)
Omg!!! So cool!!! My brother lives over there now!!
So the obvious next step is for VHS Christmas Carols to go on tour next year, right? Specifically at the Miller Theater in Augusta, Georgia where I work?! 😊
Love it! Waiting to get the digi tic until this weekend when I’ll have time to watch it a few times. Though I guess I can buy it now since the 3 day timer doesn’t start until my first watch. I’ve convinced myself! Also so cute falling asleep on the floor. My 46 year old ass looked at that party footage and was like dang I’d have to take off if I couldn’t get an actual chair to sit in. No floor sitting for these bones anymore!
I saw the patch of carpeted corner and immediately grabbed a blanket and settled in!!!
This show was such a joy to witness live, you all did a fantastic job!! Super cool to get to talk to jade and eric about professor birthday too! Can’t wait to turn my coaster into a cute little ornament for the holidays :) Thanks for bringing us along on vlogs as usual
Oh cute!!!!! Yay Professor Birthday! I'll bet they loved hearing from you!
Aww what a perfect end. I've been rewatching the digital ticket since it came out and I can't stop myself from crying every time! I'm so grateful it's available to people too far ti travel to Chicago, Brian did an incredible job on the digital ticket
It's so beautiful!! Thank you!
I'm so proud of yall! Thank you so much for giving us a behind the scenes look. I'm getting the digital ticket and having a cozy date night watching it this weekend! ❤💚
Ohhhh that sounds so nice!!!
The show was so amazing!!!
Thank you!!
I saw both Saturdays and it was amazing! Didn’t notice any crazy glitches so great job playing them off. I had a mullet too😂
YAY! Mullets rock! You should have joined the band!
VHS Christmas Carols was fantastic, I'm so glad you guys released a digital ticket! I'm definitely going to have to buy it again just to sing along some more. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person when I can afford to take a trip across the pond! 📼❤️
Awww yes it's the best show!!
The digital ticket was incredible!! Lost count of the number of times I rewatched it and loved every moment. Also loved every one of your videos Meredith! Really hope I can see VHS Christmas Carol(s) one year - I'm so glad when you guys say you're gonna keep doing it every year 😅❤
Yes I really hope we do it forever and ever!!!
I got to go to the Sunday show and it was so good! I was sad I couldn't purchase a coaster. So maybe one day I'll get one 😅 Congrats on a successful show run!
I'll make more next year I promise!!
I saw the friday night show and it was incredible! I also wholeheartedly agree with literally everything you've ever said about Chicago traffic.
It's the worst in the country right now!!
Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us! That was amazing!
Thank you for watching!!
@@MerediddyS Thank you! I just finished the digital ticket and it was amazing! A must see for christmas!
I feel so lucky I got to see the show in person!! It was amazing
Yay!! Thank you for coming!!
I got the digital ticket and watched it like 10 times. I love this show and all the hard work you guys put in. Thank you Meredith for the behind the scenes and I really hope I can one day see it in person!
I hope so too!! Maybe next year :)
Got my sweater as soon as I saw the link!! International shipping costs suck but I love it so much I knew I had to get it as an early Christmas present!! I can't wait for you guys to do this show until the end of time
Awww yay! Thank you for supporting! Did the sweater arrive yet? They're so cozy!!
@@MerediddyS not yet, unfortunately. But it should be here within like the next week so I'll definitely have it before Christmas
please keep on coming to chicago 😊 it was amazing to see you all live 😍
Thank you for coming!!
@@MerediddyS Thank you guys for coming to chicago and giving me such an amazing experience
I bought the digital ticket and it is so good!!! Well done everyone!
Thank you!!
I was there during the 730pm show on Saturday the 18th. I didn't notice anything go askew except for the one candle that didn't go out at the same time as the others 😂
Hehehe oops!! Yeah we covered it up pretty well I think....
I wish to someday see one of your shows 😍
I wish it too!!
Omg you fell asleep on the floor. Noooo poor baby Meredith. XD
(this is totally something I would do too.)
Just a cool party trick I have up my sleeve 😎
I would love to buy some coasters from you :) I'd pay $75, but to YOU the artist! >:(
AWww thank you! I'll sell you one for $10 whenever I make more!
How long will the Digital Ticket be available? I don't know yet whne I'll have the time to watch it (with my best friend) and I would LOVE to see it but I don't want to buy it yet as long as I don't know when to watch it...
you have 30 days to start watching it once you buy it then for 3 days after you start it, so if you think you would be able to watch it within 30 days just buy it now
It'll be available all December!
we better see this on youtube...
i cant afford starkid membership :'(
No membership needed! IT's just a one time rental for now!
