It blows my mind and warms my heart that Joel and Lauren still show up every damn time Darren performs this song, no matter how much time has passed or their careers have drifted apart. _That's_ friendship.
@@violet-fl9ve Yep. They got engaged prior to COVID. Then COVID hit so everything got put on hold. They just got married a few months ago, if I recall correctly.
I’m a writer, and I still go back and laugh at all of the cringey shit I wrote in high school 😂 Artists never lose love for the work they create, especially the ones they had the most fun making. In fact, the love grows stronger with time.
The fact that songs from this silly little musical performed by a bunch of university students in 2009 with a tiny budget are still being performed today and at the freaking LONDON PALLADIUM of all places makes me so happy
It's so cool to hear how much they've improved as singers from the original CZcams recording to now. Especially Joey and Lauren! Their voices are so much smoother, and they have all gained such confidence on stage, it's wonderful to see!
Hearing Joey for the first time in so long actually made me cry because I used to be so obsessed with Starship, specifically I Wanna Be, so his voice is so special to me, thank you for uploading this
AVPM is the only way I can still enjoy anything HP anymore. Anything else just makes me feel sad, but I can still listen to these songs and smile brightly
Thank you thank you thank you for uploading and thanks to Darren, Joey, Lauren, and Carrie for this spectacular performance. It's been a terrible week but this made me smile so hard. Much needed, much appreciated.
When avpm was having a moment, our dorm mounted a production and I was cast as Dumbledore. I'm a bass. I hit "WELCOME" on pitch once, and held it forever. Still the most impressive bit of singing I've ever managed.
Thank you for the upload! I saw Darren & Carrie agree to the Hermione cameo on Twitter, and was unsure if I would be able to actually hear a recording of it 😭
Right? It’s impressive! Would have thought there’d be way more screaming/singing along, but the on-stage performers are pretty clear. Not that I mind starkid fans having fun 🎶
@@stephman3154 that's what I was expecting, way more noise and screaming. Either the Starkids are in awe and can't make noise, or this camera has a way of filtering noise out!
Ahhh I’m so glad someone got a good video of it. I was literally going to film the whole thing but the videos came out bad because I was dancing and screaming too much 😭😭😭
She's also the sister of Tom Fletcher from the band McFly. She starred in his stage musical The Christmasaurus a few years ago. What a voice! czcams.com/video/92UpSoKuqAM/video.htmlsi=ftwlfjuh7agf8u1w
The life collision of Carrie Hope Fletcher (who I remember watching on CZcams in 2011 with all the CharlieIsSoCoolLike extended universe vloggers) performing this is both wild and such a perfect casting oh my god.
Thank you so much for recording and posting this! I was equal parts thrilled and heartbroken over this thinking I wouldn’t get to see it at all, still would have been incredible to have been there ♥️
It blows my mind and warms my heart that Joel and Lauren still show up every damn time Darren performs this song, no matter how much time has passed or their careers have drifted apart. _That's_ friendship.
Joey and Darren ARE best friends. And Lauren and Joey are married to each other. So... Not that surprising, but still great to see.
@@ForeverDegenerate I meant specifically Joey and Lauren's careers drifting from Darren's.
@@ForeverDegenerate Ron married Draco? Well well well
@@violet-fl9ve Yep. They got engaged prior to COVID. Then COVID hit so everything got put on hold. They just got married a few months ago, if I recall correctly.
the pain i got from seeing “joel”
I wasn't sure how many people in the audience were starkid fans until everyone lost it for Lauren coming in and honestly still a mood
at the evening show, everyone was screaming like crazy from the beginning 😭😭
Knowing Darren sings avpm songs in his own shows makes me so incredibly happy
Well he wrote them. He wouldn't be much of a songwriter if he shunned his own songs, would he? 😜
lauren really brought the "draco in leather pants" phrase to life
Oh wow I didn't even realize!
it’s incredible to me that he’s still singing this song over a decade later
Yeahhhhh
I’m a writer, and I still go back and laugh at all of the cringey shit I wrote in high school 😂 Artists never lose love for the work they create, especially the ones they had the most fun making. In fact, the love grows stronger with time.
and he still can't get the lyrics right 😂
The fact that songs from this silly little musical performed by a bunch of university students in 2009 with a tiny budget are still being performed today and at the freaking LONDON PALLADIUM of all places makes me so happy
"back to the place where our story begins" has a whole different meaning now
BRO ILL SOB. ILL SOB . I WILL OPENLY WEEP
omg stop no i wasnt supposed to cry today
Darren's voice has only gotten stronger over the years. Joey and Lauren are still great as Ron and Draco. Carrie Hope Fletcher is amazing.
Joey's voice has improved so much. It's absolutely insane how much work he must have put into it!
It's so cool to hear how much they've improved as singers from the original CZcams recording to now. Especially Joey and Lauren! Their voices are so much smoother, and they have all gained such confidence on stage, it's wonderful to see!
The crowd shouting "WHATEVER I SAY!" during Laurens' part gave me life.
This feels like such a weird crossover! I’ve watched Carrie for years and star kid and they’ve collided in the best way
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Younger me would have been frothing at the mouth over this collab. Present me is just internally screaming while scream singing along.
Never thought i would see them together!
So glad we’re all having the same moment about this lol.
What happenednto the original Hermione?? I love her but just wondering what happened
Lauren Lopez, making Draco in Leather Pants a reality!
14-year-old me would have perished. Would have simply ceased existing at Carrie Hope Fletcher singing AVPM
lauren is just a god tier performer, she always brings it
I knowwww
I was desperately searching for someone who filmed this performance yesterday so thank you so much for this!
this is SO CLEAN, love darren as dumbledore
Darren's singing technique really has improved a lot since 2009, hasn't it? 😁
Sameeee
Thanks for uploading this! Carrie is a perfect Hermione and it sounds so good with an english accent haha
Yeah Carrie is incredible 😭
I agreee
I l9ve her but just wondering, what happened to the original?
It’s definitely surreal to see A Very Potter Musical performing with Carrie Hope Fletcher. Even more surreal to see it being performed in London
4:29 Ahaha 😄they tried their best but no one could go low like Jim Povolo ❤
Goyle Rulez
This AND Nerdy Prudes Must Die in less than a week? This is such a treat, thanks for sharing!!
the greatest crossover of the year. my childhood self would explode from joy
Hearing Joey for the first time in so long actually made me cry because I used to be so obsessed with Starship, specifically I Wanna Be, so his voice is so special to me, thank you for uploading this
AVPM is the only way I can still enjoy anything HP anymore. Anything else just makes me feel sad, but I can still listen to these songs and smile brightly
“I Wanna Be” and “Status Quo” are still genuinely two of my favorite Songs period. Make me cry every time.
Better audio quality than the original. Still so much fun after all these years!
Not Carrie geeking out whilst performing with them! 😂
Carrie, you are such a star!
Seeing Carrie sing this with them makes Tumblr-era me so, so happy. Thank you for posting!
the pyrotechnics when he says "hogwarts"...who knew this silly little musical would endure and make it so far
“Joey, Darren, Lauren-“
“VERONICA?!”
I love how Carrie momentarily forgets to kneel and Joey looks so calm and cool about it - he probably does the 'theater lie' so well
Thank you thank you thank you for uploading and thanks to Darren, Joey, Lauren, and Carrie for this spectacular performance. It's been a terrible week but this made me smile so hard. Much needed, much appreciated.
carrie looks like she's having the best time, makes me so happy
Carrie is repoing those Hermione harmonies so well! Love hearing her beautiful clear voice in this
Joey Richter still doing the Disney knees in 2023
omg is that Clark Baxtresser on the piano or am i going mad??????
It is haha I was so surprised he was there when I saw the show
he sang a bit with darren and joey in the show i watched !!
Oh my gooooood ❤❤
Also lauren lopez in these trousers is the reason im gay
When avpm was having a moment, our dorm mounted a production and I was cast as Dumbledore. I'm a bass. I hit "WELCOME" on pitch once, and held it forever. Still the most impressive bit of singing I've ever managed.
Mind blown. And then "draco" entered. Wow this is wo wholesome.
Thank you for the upload!
I saw Darren & Carrie agree to the Hermione cameo on Twitter, and was unsure if I would be able to actually hear a recording of it 😭
that entrance by lauren/draco tho!!! i was mesmerised
Man the sound on this video is so good. Fantastic clip.
Right? It’s impressive! Would have thought there’d be way more screaming/singing along, but the on-stage performers are pretty clear. Not that I mind starkid fans having fun 🎶
@@stephman3154 that's what I was expecting, way more noise and screaming. Either the Starkids are in awe and can't make noise, or this camera has a way of filtering noise out!
Ok. Darren is no Dylan, but not a bad Dumbledore.
I love Carrie and starkid so I was so excited when this was a thing!! Thank you for uploading it!!!
Ahhh I’m so glad someone got a good video of it. I was literally going to film the whole thing but the videos came out bad because I was dancing and screaming too much 😭😭😭
Years later and I still can't help but sing along to every lyric! Damn that was cool!
This song never fails to make me smile like a LUNAtic
I followed carrie during this era of CZcams. I love how she plays up her accent in this
The era of CZcams…when it was posted and you made the comment?
Strange but beautiful to see Starkid and Carrie Hope Fletcher in the same screen.
This brought me more joy than I thought was possible
Thank you Thiago, you're doing God's work
Young me would have died for a AVPM 4K recording so could not pass the chance 😭
Oh my merlin! It's James, Sirius, Lily! And of course our queen Lauren!
Carrie is the best Hermione alternative since Bonnie! and she's preggs?? what a lucky little baby
It's gonna come out singing Starkid
I had a massive grin on my face this whole video. Thanks for uploading this!
this is so nostalgic and still so iconic
It makes my heart so happy that Darren is still performing this song 🥰🥰🥰
Did not expect to get emotional over this…
Every time this song starts I get chills
THIS IS IN LONDON!?! So mad I missed this!!
absolutely sobbing - i love them so much 😭😭😭😭
Hermione with a English accent in this context is WILD
I don’t think non theater people understand the are in the presence of theater goddess Carrie Hope Fletcher omfg
LMFAO
She's also the sister of Tom Fletcher from the band McFly. She starred in his stage musical The Christmasaurus a few years ago. What a voice! czcams.com/video/92UpSoKuqAM/video.htmlsi=ftwlfjuh7agf8u1w
I predict a cool couple million views for this vid
The life collision of Carrie Hope Fletcher (who I remember watching on CZcams in 2011 with all the CharlieIsSoCoolLike extended universe vloggers) performing this is both wild and such a perfect casting oh my god.
Starkid with Carrie! Such a great surprise ❤
My 2011 self is in tears
the evening show was absolutely spectacular and our hermione killed it but mannn i would have loved to see carrie
🤣🤣🤣carrie has the perfect hermione hair
the crowd at 4:21 😭💕
Thank you so much for recording and posting this! I was equal parts thrilled and heartbroken over this thinking I wouldn’t get to see it at all, still would have been incredible to have been there ♥️
