Buffy "Once More, With Feeling" musical?

Posted: 11/6/05 at 4:38pm

Ok, so this was in my tv guide this weekend:

"Need one more reason to wish you lived in California? How about a live production of 'Once More, With Feeling', the Emmy nominated episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that had the entire cast singing and dancing their way through the Hellmouth"

So, does anyone know anything about this? Is there actually a live production of the show in Cali right now?

I believe I read somewhere that they were given a cease and desist letter from 20th Century Fox...

Yeah, legal action is a given on this.

The rights have never been released so it's illegal to perform the material.

If done right though, it could be fun. We should cast the BWW Once More With Feeling. re: Buffy 'Once More, With Feeling' musical?

Thanks! I love Giles songs in the episode, but Spike is such a sexier choice.

I'll cast you as Tara, Hairspraydoll. Mainly because she has the best song for the girls and I want you to show off that voice of yours. re: Buffy 'Once More, With Feeling' musical?

I love Once More With Feeling! Buffy rocks. If I was a girl, I would SO want to be Anya.

Thats my favorite part. lol

That was my favorite epsiode. You're right, Alyson cannot sing. Spike was pretty sexy in that one :)

Awww....too bad it was stopped. I'd have loved to see this staged. I've watched the episode about a billion times. To be fair to poor Alyson, she knew she couldn't sing and begged Joss to not make her sing at all, but she still got a couple lines. I love Amber and Anthony in it, though. They are both amazing.

Uhhhh, did anyone else see this when they did it at Emerson?

They did it two years ago, it obviously wasn't mainstage, but they still did it.

I just remembered seeing it when I was reading this thread.

As much as I love this, the problem with it is the episode is just a vital link in the middle of a long arc. Actually that is one of the reasons the episode was so good and powerful, in that it wasn't a stand alone, but in fact part of a greater picture. But still, unless you are a Buffy fan, the episode is pretty difficult to understand.

In a way I think you're kind of right, Urban, although I think it'd still be somewhat enjoyable. Maybe there could be some kind of recap added before the beggining of it.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Urban you are so right. It really was a fun episode to clear some things up and a huge link in the story forthat season.

Joss Whedon is a genius and it would be fun to have a Buffy Musical.

At a BUFFY convention in Houston TX last April someone asked James Marsters (Spike) if he thought OMWF should go to Broadway. He said if it was expanded, with more back story and a secondary plot thread added, it would be great. He even said he'd love to play Spike in it. I say, DO IT NOW!!!!!!!! Joss could totally expand it into a 2 1/2 hour evening and it would be amazing! Can you imagine - BUFFY ON BROADWAY!!!!! (a slight tear of joy rolls down my cheek at the thought.)
