Who are Team Starkid?

Team Starkid are a group of former University of Michigan students who formed their very own Musical Theatre Company called Starkid Productions. They are a huge YouTube sensation especially for Harry Potter fans, this being from two of their YouTube shows 'A Very Potter Musical' and 'A Very Potter Sequel'. They have two other musicals on YouTube, one of them being 'Starship' which had sold-out performances for every show performed in Chicago. Late in 2011 Starkid did a concert tour of parts of America and UK called Space Tour. They also appeared at Harry Potter Convention - Leaky-Con in 2011 and will appear there again in 2012.

One of the members of Team Starkid is 'Glee' star Darren Criss (Blaine Anderson). Darren portrayed the role of 'Harry Potter' in both 'A Very Potter Musical' and 'A Very Potter Sequel'. Darren also co-writes and performs music for Starkid Productions. Darren also played the character 'Toby Phillips' in Starkids' original television style YouTube show called 'Little White Lie'.

Another Starkid member, Joey Richter who stars as Ron Weasley in both of Starkids Harry Potter shows (A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel) and plays the lead role in Starkids' Production of Starship as Bug. Joey is soon going to appear on the Disney Channel show 'Jessie', although his role and how lone Joey will be on the show is unknown.
