Cade Bradford

Working on The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals has been an incredible and deeply rewarding experience. I have been a fan of Starkid for many years, so getting the opportunity to bring one of their shows to life — and to call myself a Starkid in the process — is truly an honor.

This production was a long and challenging journey, filled with growth, learning, and unforgettable moments. Every rehearsal pushed us creatively, and every obstacle made the final result even more meaningful. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

This show has taught me so much about storytelling, collaboration, and trusting the process. I am endlessly grateful to the cast and crew who poured their hearts into this production. I can’t wait to take everything I’ve learned and bring it into my next show — with the goal of making it even better.

Thank you for all for coming today, but most importantly thank you for supporting live theatre and for being part of this amazing experience.
