Buffy: the Musical
Buffy: the Musical. I finally caught the musical episode last night and it rocked. Some of the singing was a little off, a lot of the music was too similar, but you’ve got to give them kudos for even trying. And I think Amber Benson, who plays Tara, has finally come into her own as a character (I must admit I didn’t like her when she first joined the show).
For reference: lyrics and MP3s of the songs (get them while they’re hot).
Buffy the Musical is going down as one of my favorite musical TV shows, along with “It’s the Gary Shandling Show: the Musical,” the Disco Zoo Animals on Roller Skates episode of GET A LIFE, and “Streetcar: the Musical” from THE SIMPSONS. I hope more shows will follow suite — I cant wait until the promised WILL & GRACE musical (unlike Buffy’s cast, all 4 leads have musical theatre experience).
I loved it too!!!! I had never watched Buffy before-to many bad memories of watching that on Prom night with Alan! But now I am hooked!
