I got into the show!

The first audition in 9 years and I got in (woo hoo)! Rehearsal starts on Sunday night.

The bunny is doing a bit better - not completely back to normal, but better. I really hope we can avoid taking him to the vet again (4 days this week was enough).

I've been listening to Tuesday's Buffy soundtrack way too much! Perhaps I'm a big cheezeball but musicals just do something to me; they make me want to sing, dance, hug someone, cry and laugh hysterically - all at the same time.

Its Friday finally, the end to a suck-ass week. So make the most of it!

"when it stuck to introspective, folk oriented material, it was great. xander and anya's comedy number (a la A Funny Thing Happened...) was very good (even though xander can't sing at all)".

I think that song was a good typical example of "the musical comedy song". I also liked the instrumental number with Dawn dancing around the bad guys after she was kidnapped.

Most entertaining were the people dancing in the background (like the "they got the mustard out", the street sweepers and the main demon guy). Because THEY were cast for their dancing/singing ability (as opposed to the regular actors).

Spikes song was silly but I think he's cute so I'll forgive him :)

"and Buffy's mix and match number near the end... "

What hurt me more than the music was the choreography - I know that she was supposed to be upset and not gracefully dancing but that was just - ick! I don't know what that choreographer was thinking (I think that a good choreographer can make anyone look good, no matter what their dance ability).

"really really awkward transitions in those songs. and the intentional atonalities of the bridge when working with people with marginal singing skillz? bad choice".

They didn't sound great, I think it was more of a joke, trying to create the "typical" showtune experience by using "typical" showtune methods.
