Will Branner - Blog Posts

Dikrats. Yall. What do you think?

Do yall think that if Will’s playing Hidgens… he’ll also be our Hot Chocolate boy???

Or are we gonna have Joey continuity as Pete????

You know. Of all the things I had on the list.

Meeting Max Jagerman was not on the bingo sheet

And what if I said it’s my favorite song from NPMD??

I can’t get Dirty Girl - Starkid song from my mind…seriously it’s sooo good…

Ok so how can I see Will Branner in Little Shop of Horrors?? I need to see his Dentist at least like 😩

I love seeing Will in livestreams he has the cutest smile

Me whenever I look at Will in this stream

Will Branner I am in love with you 😩 It's been 5 seconds and I'm already swooning over him lmao

the pope died to give us will branner performing show stopping number

I mean if Robert was in NPMD, he would've played Pete not Max, so Will really only replaced one Robert role. If anything, Max was kinda Jeff coded. Also after Robert left, starkid cast Bryce, Jae, Janaya, Darilyn, Melody (an understudy who was a WOC), Virginia, and had a musical with two black leads. They're definitely not perfect, but I do think they are at least trying to diversify their pool of performers.

will branner is never beating the rob manion replacement allegations i fear...

absolutely nothing against him, i think hes a very talented performer and he killed it at max and im sure he'll kill it as hidgens, but sk talking about "diversifying their pool of performers" following the exit of manion then immediately casting another guy that has the same general appearance, build, and vocal range as he had, then casting him as manions role in the gwdlm rerun.... idk man branner doesnt deserve to be treated as the rob replacement but the casting team isnt helping that impression lol

~~~

his version of show stoppin number is gonna kill like max jägerman

Lauren Lopez directing. Jaime Lyn Beatty back. Will Branner taking over as Hidgens.

Also, if we raise more money than the original kickstarter (let’s be real, we will) then they can do the show how they wanted to. The way it should’ve been done. I’m so pleased for us but I’m really just pleased for Starkid and the Langs in particular. This is so lovely.

And I’m happy we’ll have a proshot of the show without Robert Manion in, erase that bitch!

I DIDNT THINK WILL BRANNER WAS EVEN AN OPTION I THOUGHT HE WAS ON BROADWAY OR SOMETHING?! HOLY SHIT!!! SAVE ME WILL!HIDGENS SAVE ME

Starkids I think could/should play Professor Hidgens:

AJ Holmes - unlikely probably, but like he would be PERFECT come on!

Joe Walker - also unlikely, but I lowkey think he'd be good and I just miss Joe ok 😭

James Tolbert - he wasn't in the og TGWDLM and he can dance and has that flare that Robert's Hidgens had and would probably do amazing

Mariah Rose Faith - gender swapped Hidgens ‼️ she's played him before and did AMAZING and besides she's not in any scenes that Hidgens was in so it would work out

Curt Mega - honestly I didn't think about this before I saw someone mention it, but I'd be so here for that. And again, he wasn't in the og TGWDLM so there'd be no problems there

Jeff Blim - honestly, I LOVED his Hidgens in Workin' Boys, but this would probably only work if they also recast Sam or Mr. Davidson or something because he already sings like 80% of this show and it would be too much if he also played Hidgens soo probably wouldn't happen

Honestly the thing I'm most excited about for this revival is to see who they cast as Hidgens lmao

Nerdy prudes must die is arguably the best song of Nerdy Prudes Must Die purely for the high part Will Branner sings if I'm so fr

RIP Jägerman, you would've loved Schedule I and Italian brainrot

Adieu to the nerds that gotten in his way

Bravo to nerds who manage his tomfoolery
