It's hard to bring something that's been on tv/internet to the stage, but I think you guys did it! Great job! I want to bring it where I live but the trouble is finding someone to put it on.
They may have worked the area a little too much in fact. You have to be micro phoned well or be ethel murman to sing about face from the audience. but this is still TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
Nicely done Trinity! The only complaint I would have is that some of the lines are out of range of the actors, specifically the groupies when they harmonize. But all and all a great show!
I'm curious as to why the music was playing so fast? What, was the cast in a hurry to be somewhere but had this inconvenient musical to do? I mean really... too fast.
I've never been unable to hear what was being said on stage in such a small space... PROJECT your voices. Even in those small spaces your words can get swallowed by dead space.\
Penny seemed TOO happy with Captain Hammer. I'm not sure if this was a directors choice but to me she is somewhat unsatisfied with him.
Oh yeah, and I also like the groupies scoffing at Penny... really, just the general sense of interaction is great. This is how you do a musical ensemble piece on stage!
I really like how this scene is choreographed and directed! I especially love the fact that Captain Hammer and the groupies are in the same space, so to speak, the way they react to his entrance and then swarm around him for the "we do the weird stuff" line. The interaction between them really makes that part work on stage. None of the other adaptations I've watched on youtube have had that.
I'm considering directing Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog as a school play this year, and was really confused how to do this scene. This provided some great ideas.
I don't like how happy Penny seems about Hammer. She's supposed to be pretty unsatisfied with him at this point... In the original (which I realize it isn't possible to duplicate, just citing facts here) she waits at the Laundromat with two frozen yogurts for her and Billy, looking disappointed that he didn't show up.
Yeah, i love the moment where that happens in the original. I had no way to re-establish the Laundromat at this point though, so the moment is gone. :(
Yeah, I totally understand. Actually, I'm putting this on at MIT, and we're going to try to see if we can still do that. But we're taking a lot of cues from your groundbreaking staging. :-)
I don't know if a larger space would have made it any better. I think a lot of the "moments" that we achieved in this show were due to the fact that no audience member was more than 30 feet from the action.

Great choreography, but just a bit fast. I feels rushed and the words don't come out properly.
But apart from that, Brilliant performance!
Did you manage to get hold of the rights? I've been emailing for a while to get hold of them, but with no response :(

For the area they had they worked it well, but it needs to be larger.
