Harry Potter the Musical: Watch The Entire Production Here!

Monday, June 22, 2009 Leave a Comment

How do you preemptively make Bono's upcoming 'Spiderman The Musical' look like CATS? By putting on a production of Harry Potter the Musical that goes down sweeter than Butterbeer body shots off of Ginny, that's how.

With music by Darren Criss & AJ Holmes, and a script by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden, the cast and crew of the University of Michigan's original production of HP: The Musical is the juiciest bit of post-book-7 Potter-y since Dumbledore came out of the cupboard (yes, the one under the stairs).

From a Voldemort tap number that puts A Chorus Line to shame, to the final horcrux being hidden in a Zefron poster, the play is not a simple transposition from book to stage, but rather a loving homage and caricature of the entire series. Originally produced in April, and now gracing the world of YouTube this past weekend, we proudly present this incredible production for your viewing pleasure:

    it makes me so mad that these guys won't be able to take this beyond the college level because of damn copyright law, cause this is HUNDREDS of times better than any of the crap on broadway now. Seriously, amazing stuff here

    hi anonymous commenter!

    thanks for the warning-- we just checked out the youtube channel and found out that they're running into some legal issues, we posted their (very entertaining) explanation of the whole affair right under the first video (which is still working)

  • Abby said:  

    I love musicals and Harry Potter, so this was the perfect show for me! I have my fingers crossed that it will be back up and running soon!

  • Ben said:  

    Hey about that title that you need ... why don't you call it the Totally Awesome Adventures of Two Wizards and One Witch or something to do with Totally Awesome?

  • Supreme90 said:  

    I think oversdoseing in Essence of Euphoria, or being super charged with a Cheering Charm must feel like this because I'm tingling with uncontrollable excitment at the very mention of this Harry Potter Musical! My two favourites loves are also Harry Potter and Musicals! Thankyou, so much. You guys are heroes!

    im confused. theres still part of the musical up. so can we watch that part?

  • Supreme90 said:  

    How about "The Chosen Musical" or "The Musical that Lived" or "The Musical of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" I wish you could say Hogwarts, cause then you could call it "Hogwarts: A Musical."

    Although they might appreciate that you enjoy it, I don’t think they would appreciate you posting something about it on a blog that I easily found on google. They recently took their videos down because they don’t wanna be sued, and they even mentioned in their latest video to keep quiet about the play, so if I were you, I’d delete this post or make it private asap.

    Hey Jondpal, thanks for the warning, but as you'll see, we included an update and posted their new video (the one you just linked to) in this post right after the opener. They've kept up the opener and just took down the rest. As you'll see none of our other videos are active, we've just left them there in the event that they bring them back, we'll have it at the ready for your enjoyment. We've been in contact with them and we wish them the best in their legal issues because it is truly a great piece of musical theater.

    I'm so sad YouTube tampered with it before putting it back up. The original was a masterpiece.
