Team StarKid, Darren Criss - Welcome to Starkid Homecoming lyrics

Welcome to Starkid Homecoming
What's going on?!

Good evening everybody, oh go on

Oh thank you


Thank you so much, good evening
 my dear friends, we're
So happy that you guys could be here
Happy ten years my name is Darren Criss
I am one of the original
Founding knuckle heads
Of Starkid um, yes this
Is Starkid Homecoming
It is very much a Homecoming

I love this energy, yes! Feed me, feed us
'cause we'll give it back to you tenfold



So, the name of the show is 'Homecoming'
And it very much is a
Homecoming for many of the cast members
Here we have assembled over
Forty Starkid cast members from
Shows throughout the years
Which is an incredible
Number we have people flying in
From their shows on Broadway
People are flying
Out tomorrow to do their shows in Scotland
We have people coming from
All over the place with varying
Levels of availability and work
And we somehow
Managed to get that many people to
Do this crazy show in like
I don't know, a day's worth of
Rehearsal, in true Starkid format
We are scotch taping this
Sucker together last minute

And we're so grateful they could be here
We are missing some names
Who unfortunately couldn't be with us but
We are thinking of them
They are in our hearts and they
Are as much part of
This as the rest of us are so we miss you
We love you guys

Um i also believe this is a
Homecoming for many of you
A lot of folks are coming
Together, gathering, that have been
You've created friend
Groups and communities all over the world
To come celebrate this with us
That's so incredible, just let me hear
About some of the places
Where are you guys all coming from?

Wow! I can't believe you're coming
All the way from there, no way! That's
So far, how magical! I didn't know
You could get here from there
Thank you for travelling all that way
I think we all come
Here because Starkid does mean a
Whole lot to a
Lot of us in varying different
Ways i know for me, it's
A huge point of pride in my life, it's, uh
One of my favourite things about my
Career and my life, i think it's
What started me out, it's what
Put me on the map
At least before the Galactic
League of Extra-terrestrial
Exploration started making twisted
Abominations of everything

Now, see right there, folks, that
Was a Starkid reference
So if you didn't get that joke buckle up
'cause this show ain't gon' make any sense

And that is because this entire show
Was funded entirely by fans
Thank you so much to all
Of you on Kickstarter

This is for the die hards
The followers since day ones, so this show
Is designed entirely for you, we are
Here for you and nobody else, so thank you
For your support to throw a bone to
The people that may not know what's
Going on, Starkid is a collective of artists
Uh, and, um uh, creators, writers
Performers that was started in the University
Of Michigan, and we- Go blue and we
Put together musical-comedy
Content and put it on the internet for free
And we have a ton of shows
And while I think it'd be
Fun to do every single show that we've
Done in the past ten years, i don't
Think we have the time so instead we're
Gonna celebrate the music in a concert
We're gonna celebrate the songs
Of Starkid in a-

Yeah, it's exciting, get ready for it by way
Of some beautiful medleys
Made just for tonight and also
Accompanied by this
Incredible, gorgeous-looking
Thirteen-piece orchestra for the first
Time with Starkid

So we're gonna start with medleys from our
Most recent show and work our way
Back to the very first one that
Started it all all eleven shows
Every single one

So!
