this is one of the best buffy episodes ever made. its so funny and it makes you want to dance and sing along. the plot is great and has a few good twists !
i would recommend this to anyone , even if they do not watch buffy regularly.
my daughters loved it.
well worth renting out.
The episode has everything that a 'traditional' musical has, from a polished score and lyrics to a 'break-away pop hit' in Under your spell.
It's obvious that not all of the cast are the best singers but they all put in a commited performance, there are however a number of strong performances, notably from Amber Benson (Tara) and Anthony Head (Giles).
The episode combines humour with serious moments without making it seemed forced. It manages to give a plausable explanation (within the context of the show, at least) as to why the cast start singing and dancing which sets it apart from some other series' musical episodes.
All in all, an excellent episode, with songs that you will be singing for a long while!
