Joe takes us backstage of HPM

[maddimayhem15]

They're flipping out about a sold out extra show... And now the vids have SEVEN MILLION + views!!! I would give so much to have been a part of this show.

[kirkie1996]

Joe really shouldn't eat chocolate before he sings...

[soCOOLgirl13]

i love a.j. 

[WaterLily331]

Little did they know...

[ScouseStarKid]

Jim: "This is fo real yo, I'm talkin DOWNTOWN" = me laughing hysterically

[FawkesLastSong]

Just thinking about this, they are so amazed at the turnout for the show, and to think that they're now so famous they can go on a sold out TOUR all over the US, it's amazing :))

[goldensoot]

the studliest of studmuffins.

[kittykat9716]

oh gosh, ya gotta love joe WAKKAAAAAAAA "hewlett potter! .... now we're definitely getting sued. twice. at the same time." <3

[SophieCLRguART]

LOL, Tyler blocks the light with his head when he runs towards the camera and yet his teeth are still visible x)

[spacexhopper]

'I really don't like being on camera' oh A.J ^_^ too sweet

[pinkangel613]

Wow Darren was always destined to be famous have fans...:) and those girls with autographs are insanely lucky!!!!

[ObsessiveDCdissorder]

Darren aka the studdliest of stud muffins (love that bit!) hasn't changed a bit and I love him so much for that... and other reasons :P

[waitingfor2008]

I love how they totally didn't expect it to be so popular. XD

[aliceetaylorr]

When Tyler comes on just before 7:00 you can see his teeth before you see him haha

[icecreamforpeace]

"You are so cute."

"STAHP IT"

[ShadowEvilx]

6:49 She has a hand mike. What black magic is this?

[Starkidpotterful]

when tyler comes in you can only see his teeth <3

[delaneyn2332]

Jim Povolo. <33333

[oneninja8]

0:23 "...cedric diggory..."

[ireallyloveglee1]

HARRY POTTER THE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!

[ifiwereblue]

..Darren being ghetto. Ohmygod. <3333333

[jellybelly98rox]

@CareyGrace

[WTFdevBITme]

This is just how I imagined it would be! Only a little worse because I imagined being there instead.

[heddie152]

"This is for real, yo. I'm talking DOWN TOWN." I freaking love Jim Povolo.

[mikkidixxi]

i love bonnie <3

[MsKenzieJ]

"if i could be half the stud you are..." hahah <3 oh darren.

[TheGreatandLovable]

Voldemort is actually French

Vol - Escape

De - from

Mort - Death

Just a little fun-fact :3

[Starkidpotterful]

what was joe's musical name?

[hermioneandrockets]

Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooly shit. A.J Holmes is hot

[olgap35]

This just makes me so happy :)

[itsokimizzyguys]

i like how they walk around before the show thats so cool of them

[SuperstarShazzee]

Darren should do an english accent more often :')

[pepperbaby101]

How many Joes are there anyway?

[underscore3836]

love brosenthal

[sydneysstupidshow]

I love how these guys have NO IDEA how ridiculously famous they would become over the next three years.

[OneStarkidLove]

haha... this makes me happy every time. does anyone know on which night/s they recorded the show? also... i am incredibly jealous of everyone who got to see it live, before it was something big. ahh.

[everlasting9292]

Oh gosh, I love how Darren goes from gangsta hood to British RP in a matter of seconds. Fantastic.

[TenCents514]

funny how 3 years later, these same fangirls would be fangirling over a very different role...

[MyArtOfLife]

I miss Bonnie :(

[gleeful321]

those autographs

2009 wroth nothing

2011 worth over 100,000

[sadiebrennon]

I love how Darren's like... "Im signing autographs...apparently." Like it's absurd they should want his autograph. What if that was his very first autograph? Those girls are luckyyy.

[locoforlovegood]

Ann Arbor Michigan, the only place on earth where draco, crabbe, and ginny can talk casually, harry potter and goyle use funny voices for recreational amusement, and voldemort raves about chocolates

[TheCoverGirl96]

HOW MANY FUCKING JOES WORKED ON THIS???

[trekkie161991]

i love how they think THIS is insane. 3 years later the insanity escalates and ensues.

[HEYITSKALLIE]

I love how Brian Holden is just walking around and no one knows who he is yet.

[farrellyDC]

@HEYITSKALLIE he wasnt in avpm at all.. :L so no one knew after either :P

[hillinga62442]

I keep wanting to comment "I <3 *insert name here*", but then I realized I'd have to put every single Starkid's name in that spot.

[Kyffikyffi]

sobbing



[Chanelleml]

LOL OMG 1- tyler 2- are you the drummer 3- it's the scar

love it hahah

[liberty77777771]

Why are Tyler Brunsmans teeth so white?

[zazeezoo17]

Those girls getting Darren's autograph had no idea how awesome it was back then. Also, I am so proud of them going from being excited about selling out that tiny little theatre to selling out a whole freaking tour.

[PopcornMagic23]

How can A.J. not like being on camera?!?! Does not compute.

[dwtttw]

i just did. she said "this is not kosher" at 6:28

[CareyGrace]

And they thought this was huge then.......they would be WOW'ed then if they knew what they would be doing now

[rcooper920]

hella tight music. Darren. Really? I love you.

[StarkidFanCaz]

1 dislikes GO HOME TERRORIST :) BROSENTHAL:)

[saintpattysday16]

Darren had fangirls even before he was famous. GO FIGURE.

[oneninja8]

At 6:57 you can see Tyler's teeth and not his face. :)

[radioraver]

I wonder if these people ever guessed that it would turn out to be this big when they showed up!

[HarryFreakinPotterr]

Uhhh why am I just finding this now? LOVE IT! I screamed when Darren showed up. Are you surprised? It's so cool to see the whole cast back in costume though. Fo realllll.

[ingridogelise]

I love you Bonnie!

[13RedVines]

6:56 proof that Tyler's teeth can glow in the dark

[emmamonster79]

I like Joey's VERY enthusiastic thumbs up at 2:13 hahaha:)

[RepZZZ]

One dislike? Thanks, Hermione.

[AverageDreamer7878]

WE'RE TALKING DOWNTOWN<333333333333333

Jim Povolo You are my life<33

[Rd2016]

Someone please count how many times he said harry potter the musical

My guess is that ITS OVER 9000!!!!

[ColonRighhtBracket]

Jim Povolo ! <3

[EntertainTheDeranged]

Darren Criss acting like a wangster.... i can die happy now XD

[redvinewhatcantheydo]

Darren is definitly the studliest of studmuffins :)

[macncheeseplease746]

this makes me so happy i dont even know <3 darren and jim were soo funny hahahahah!

[Starshippotter15]

Hewlett potter forever!

[RitaHodges]

I got to meet Jim Povolo and Nick and Matt Lang at the Space tour in Ann arbor recently. Mostly jim, but it's weird seeing them in videos now X)

[lesley915]

Awww these girls getting autographs...they didnt know it was DARRE FREAkIN CRISS!

[chloeekv]

Darren: ''Joe Cal... main man mayonnaise ''

[randomgal13]

JUST THINK HOW AMAZED THOSE GIRLS MUST FEEL NOW! They got his autograph before he was freaking FAMOUS! Lucky!

[Hermione170]

I love this. I love this so much!

[moooonshoespotter7]

if you're not here, ohhh i don't know where you are! ;o

[ErinBeeeeSings]

Died a little at Darren's British accent.

[TheMoony107]

I love AJ Holmes!

[mrsdarcy94]

His fucking english accent... I died a little.

[RockMyStripySocks]

i wrote hella tight music

[dannysWiesel]

Tyler's teeth are glowing in the dark!

:DD

[chsgrlrox]

Okay, so, in the Potion Master's Corner, why didn't Darren just do one of those voices?

[TroutyPout]

Awww they've come so far.

And I don't even have to mention how far Darren has come... Good on him, he deserves it.

[TroutyPout]

"ARE THESE CHOCOLATE NOTES?"

I love you Joe Walker.

[mickymickmick10]

I just love how at this point, all Darren was was Harry Potter. And he was almost jokingly signing the autographs, like, "I'm totally famous." And those girls had no idea. Because now look where he is.

[Hailtotheduck]

2:31 FORESHADOWING

[TCMRMCfan14]

Out*

[TCMRMCfan14]

I don't think fans would stand so still if Brolden came up now. ;)

[musicislife88598]

This is fo' real yo. I'm talking DOWNTOWN!

[MrMitvet]

harry potter the musical

[90939smiles]

"He's just the studliest of stud muffins!" lmao

[Starkidder12]

Ohh AJ!!!!!!<3 .....Joey was just looking so awkward!

[najadetwo]

I love how Joe Walker just walkes around there shirtless covered in make-up and eating a cookie and everyone pretents it's normal.

[LetCorgisHaveWings34]

@najadetwo Shit like that IS normal when you're backstage, believe me. XD

[TeheMusicVideos]

@najadetwo its a chocolate note. But yes. Joe's body *dies*

[96sharks1]

I stopped paying attention after JWalk was off camera.

[ooshadygirloo]

1:40-2:01 a guy speaking ebonics is such a turn off in real life.... But that was effing sexy Darren. Can't lie.

[oneninja8]

I read a comment about getting sued and the beginning of "we dont wanna be sued" starts playing in my head

[alicesouzaa]

They'd be so fun to be friends with :D

[mdashpop]

Darren saying the word "hella" makes me so proud of where I'm from. I mean, I was already proud, but now I'm extra proud.

[weirdopeople75]

Darren's gangster voice<3

[annarce0000]

Am I the only one wondering why the hell is the chair on TOP of the table on 1:34 ?

[SweetlyxJules]

(Joe does something gay for once) LOL

[lilmaddieme]

I fucking love AJ. 2:47-3:27.

[wheetabix92]

random question, why would they get sued??? lol

[SmileyNathalie]

@wheetabix92 Copyright Infringement. Because Starkid doesn't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling could sue them.

[94bananapancakes]

@wheetabix92 copyright stuff

[hpobsessed21]

I couldn't help but smile the entire video. I can't wait to see them LIVE!

[chsgrlrox]

@hpobsessed21 Me too!

At first, when I got my tickets, I was like "It's not going to happen. I'm just getting them. It's nothing."

And now, I have everything worked out, and I'm freaking out! And I have a full MONTH before it.

I mean, I'm in a play this weekend, and I could care less about what happens then, because nothing will matter when I see the Starkids.

[luvjpfe]

I LOVE StarKid and I love this, I think I've watched it a few thousand times. Go Harry Go Harry LOL.

[HungarianTacos]

6:57 Glow in the Dark Teeth

[PiinkPopcorn]

OH MY GOD DARREN SPEAK IN AN ENGLISH ACCENT MORE OFTEN

[EJbella67]

EVERY SINGLE TIME he says harry potter the musical, i cringe because 1. they don't wanna be sued and 2. whenever some outsider calls it that, i correct them angrily, "its A VERY Potter Musical." =|

[ischky]

Joe Walker as Voldemort. ASDFGHJKL

WHOOPS. Sorry, I meant "Joe Walker ASDFGHJKL"

[faxbbandfrogs]

Now we know why it took so long to get AJ Holmes in one of the musicals.

JAN3

[HeyDragonNightFury]

[TalzRei]

[oneninja8]

Darren criss being ghetto is SO sexy and you are all super duper fantastic!

[90sMissy]

Leave it to Brian to tell people to get the hell out of the way in a adorable/funny way.

[HarleyQuinn2513]

[bluerakuchan]

Jim Povolo does the best voices.

[Blahpunkifyed]

[zombiegirl626]

0:25

Brolden taking charge LIKE A BOSS.

[ebloomify]

Imagine how much those autographs are worth now... I know I'd pay A LOT to have that.

[itsnotoveryet11]

Darrens English accent is amazing. It sounds better than mine which is weird cos I'm English

[ThePurpleBoom]

HOLY COW HIS TEETH GLOWWW AT 6:57 

[Killsoflillas]

[Killsoflillas]

IT'S NOT KOSHER!!!!!

[MrsAnnaMerrygold]

OMG. darrens english accent :O

[siriusblackcheckmate]

5:27

I love you, Brian. :D

[musiclilies]

Darren: "YO YO YO HP WUDDUP YEEEAH!"

British accent: "that was a character. We're actors"

[synchrofreak01]

To everyone who thinks that accent was New York/New Jersey, you obviously haven't been to NY/NJ. It was a Bay Area accent. I would know because I have that accent and my mom has a Jersey accent.

[BritMase]

It's awesome how humble and truly shocked they all are that people are actually there and waiting in line and genuinely excited to see them!

[CGwonder]

"You're clogging the way into platform 9 3/4!" Oh Brian, I love you <3

[MissEllenn]

i thought they couldnt call it Harry Potter the Musical?:S:L

[Christineoneal123]

@MissEllenn This was back when they were in college and all the legal copyright stuff hadn't come up yet. So at the time it was still called Harry Potter the Musical. it wasn't until later when it was changed to A Very Potter Musical!

[ishucookie]

I love the cute accent <3

[godhatesbaguettes]

'Here's Darren Criss: the studdliest of stud muffins'

[TheInsanityofCalico]

Oh. My. God. I SWEAR, i counted SEVEN people who I know. What the crap.

[princessbecks88]
