Dr Horrible on the CW Oct. 9th

If you didn't catch it on the CW, this was history. Except for reality shows that use videos from the internet (I'm looking at you Tosh.0), I don't think something filmed entirely for release on the internet has ever been played on TV. But there it was: Dr. Horrible in all its HD awesomeness and I was helpless to do anything except laugh and sing along (and curse the commercial breaks). To quote Leverage's character, Hardison, "Age of the geek, baby."

Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Live Review

I went to see the stage adaptation of Joss Whedon’s, “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” at the 10^th Ave Theatre on July 29, 2011. I’m a big fan and really enjoyed this fan-based production.

It had been a while since I watched my copy so I think they might have added a scene or two so that the actor’s could change or get into position. The play was just as funny and entertaining as the original.

Good: Great acting, fun singing, and the way they used shadows and set pieces to replicate the special effects was great.

Bad: The gun exploding at the end and Penny getting hit was hard to see because I was in the back and it happened upstage.

See It/Pass: If you enjoyed it on the internet or on blu ray, you’ll like it just as much in person. I saw it with a group. Three of us had seen it while one of us hadn’t. The one who hadn’t already seen it was a little lost but enjoyed it. If you’re lucky enough to have this live show land anywhere near you, go and see it.

It's playing August 26-28 at Elmwood Park High School Auditorium in Illinois
