Dr Horrible Sing-Along Blog: must continue

Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog is a 2008 musical tragicomedy miniseries in three acts, produced exclusively for Internet distribution. The team wrote the musical during the WGA writers' strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike.

Yes you can see the award winning internet production on YouTube, or purchase it through i-tunes but first see it mounted as the extraordinary live production at this  year's Fringe.

This is how I was introduced to the musical and time stood still.

Literally, Dr. Horrible with his Ph.D .in Horribleness, has a Freeze Ray gun. Penny the love interest is getting petitions to open more housing beds for the homeless which fits so well with the Fire Hall Theatre’s location. Captain Hammer is so much the comic cartoon you just want to play with him.

The lines are witty and relephant (sp) as in this talented theatre company. This must be the best value ever.

See this show knowing that you will want to take up singing and dancing, it is too good. It must continue if only to hear Ninja Ropes sung in every classroom.

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is part of this year's Vancouver Fringe. For more information try going here.
