Apocalyptour visited twenty-one cities in North America,[1] including (unlike the prior tour) some on the West Coast.

The nine regular performers for the tour were joined by Darren Criss for two concerts - one in Los Angeles and one in New York City.

Having given up singing and dancing in favour of archaeology, the StarKids uncover a mysterious stone tablet among ancient Mayan ruins.

Upon reading the tablet out loud, they accidentally awaken Ma'au Guurit - the Mayan God of Chaos and Death - who wishes to destroy the world.

And number three: it says the Dikrats will find this very tablet, and by reading it out loud summon... the Mayan God of Chaos and Death.In an attempt to appease 'Margaret' - who also happens to be the God of Musical Theatre - and prevent the world's destruction, the StarKids are forced to sing and dance once more, as they put on a musical theatre concert.

It emerges that the Mayan calendar did not account for leap years, and so Margaret should have destroyed the world several months prior.

(which had been performed in March of that year), virtually none existed for the other shows - requiring Baxtresser to transcribe the music by ear from the original recordings.

The closing number of the concert, "Going Back to Heaven...", features a reprise of "Me and My Dick" - in which Joey Richter does eventually complete the lyric.
