Did you like the Buffy Musical? I loved Anya's song about Bunny's

And Giles had a very god voice as well... I also thought that Tara had the best women's voice.

I thought it was a great success... for a show of Buffy's limitations.

I died so many years ago,
but you can make me feel like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know...
Let me rest in peace,
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep.

Regardless of Darth's qualifications and reservations, it's a great work.

One has to presume that Darth liked it, but his message makes it little hard to tell.

Quality stuff. Some of the songs were a little annoying, but Spike's one was both a decent song and pretty amusing.

OK, before the board fiasco. I had posted further comments about the musical episode.

I had said IMO, it was probably more like Opera than musical theater since the singing actually moves the plot along. And sometimes Opera is judged by the silliness of its lyrics. This lyric certainly qualifies as silly

Warm in the night when I'm right
In her tight
-embrace tight embrace

IMnsHO. I'm probably wrong.

I loved the musical. It rules. It was very clever in following the story-line!

Here we go again

The musical episode advanced the story arc by means of some plot and character revelations that were much quicker in song than in the ordinary dialogue format. It would have taken several episodes to cover everything that was revealed in the songs.

I LOVED it...man...if I were about thirty years older, I would say, unashamedly: "Giles is so sexy!! Listen to that voice!!" Now I still say it...ashamedly

I liked the song he had the first time the gang hears him sing...I thought that was waay better...but still...I need to find his CD's!!

Dammit, now I have to dig it out & watch it again!

It was brilliant; I particularly liked the little 'revelations' that came out in song, the secrets that people had been keeping. The most obvious being Buffy admitting that her friends had pulled her back from Heaven, rather than Hell, as they had thought... that was really poignant... also some stuff in Xander & Anya's duet.

The only nit I had to pick with it, was one of plot, rather than format - the resolution at the end was a total cop-out!

hehehe...I keep thinking about the "Buffy needs backup!" part...

I really enjoyed it, a breath of fresh air when Buffy was getting rather stale on the whole (I can't help thinking they should have called it a day the season before). For some reason, I love the bit where Giles says: "I was able to examine the body while the police were taking the witness arias."

Just the mental picture of witnesses singing at the police.

I think you're right about Tara too, she put some of the others (SMG in particular) to shame.

One of my favourite episodes was the silence one, where nobody can speak. Those stealer people were scary, and Gile's presentation was hilarious.

Yes, they were pretty sinister. I haven't seen as far as Once More With Feeling, so I can't comment on whether Buffy was getting stale then. But I thought it was getting painfully stale with the Initiative.

Yeah, that's what led me to think that Buffy should have just stayed dead at that point. It lifted for a while with the introduction of the Trio, but I really didn't like the idea of Slayer School in the last series.

I loved it.

Anya was extraordinarily sexy when she and xander were doing their little number together.
woof.

LOVE Anya's song! (LOVE ... in bold, italics, underlined, and 387 point font ... Anya)

I downloaded the album from iTunes. Took that song and extracted Anya's bunny part (there's a bit of a pause in there that I took out, and the beginning of Willow's part where Anya interrupts her for the hard corp rocking) and set it as my phone's ring tone. I was in a strange mood that day - I wouldn't normally do ANY ring tone other than the boring stock ones.

I also took the Mustard song and set it as the ring tone for Steve's phone number (not that he calls me more than once a year - and that to coordinate a meeting when we're both at WFC). We were both at Howard's birthday party last year (his agent), and I was explaining to Katie (Howard's assistant) that Steve was into Buffy (which she also loves - she's the one who got me hooked). I wasn't so far into the series yet, but they were laughing pretty hard about the musical. Then Steve broke out into the Mustard song. "They got! The mustard! ... Out!!!" LOL!! Sure whish I got THAT on video!
