Loosely inspired by 1956 horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it is the 11th stage show produced by StarKid Productions.

[2] A group of singing "zombies" addresses the audience, setting the scene in the small town of Hatchetfield and introducing the eponymous "Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals", unremarkable everyman Paul Matthews.

Emma is forced to follow Beanie's' new Cold Stone-inspired "tip for a song" policy, which she laments about to Paul, as they bond over their shared dislike of musicals.

Paul heads to work and Bill recounts that a strange meteor struck the Starlight Theater during the previous night's performance of "Mamma Mia!".

Emma, unconvinced, is called by her coworkers Nora and Zoey to perform the Beanie's tip song ("Cup of Roasted Coffee").

Sam and two other police officers attack the group ("Show Me Your Hands") until Ted hits him over the head, knocking him out and exposing his brain, which is bright blue.

Hidgens believes that the behavior of the townsfolk is the result of an alien invasion brought to Earth by the meteor, and restrains Sam.

Emma tells Paul that she hates living in Hatchetfield and left after graduating high school, but returned due to the death of her sister.

Paul wakes up and is greeted by General John MacNamara, who leads a special unit of the US Army that deals with the strange and paranormal, called PEIP (/ˈpiːp/ PEEP).

Emma wakes up tied to a chair alongside Ted as Hidgens deactivates his house's defences and reveals his hidden passion for musical theatre.

The zombies arrive and join in the performance, and Hidgens, caught up in the song, believes them to be his old college friends, allowing them to disembowel and infect him.

Zoey attempts to shoot them, but Paul kicks away the gun, causing the helicopter to crash and severely injure Emma.

The show takes place in Hatchetfield, and features several recurring characters from The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals.

The first episode of the series was streamed live to YouTube on October 10, 2020 featuring two stories: The Hatchetfield Ape-Man and Watcher World.

[7] The series featured 4 episodes with six stories: Honey Queen, Perky's Buds, Abstinence Camp, Daddy, Killer Track and Yellow Jacket.

The entire cast of the original series returned apart from Kendall Nicole and Robert Manion and they were joined by Jae Hughes and Bryce Charles.

A third musical, entitled Nerdy Prudes Must Die, written by the same writing team of Black Friday, was released on Youtube on October 13, 2023.

[10] The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals received fifteen nominations in twelve categories at the 2019 BroadwayWorld.com Los Angeles Regional Awards.
