[BeatPeet]

This is the best performance of Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along Blog to date.

[bsnarski]

@BeatPeet And to think that we were one of the first to do it. And the first with live music for sure.

[WhichFloralPrint]

I liked the set! I'm doing a production of this is May, I wanted to get a feel about what our set could look like.

[bsnarski]

The set was left over from the previous production in this black box. I was given two choices, either use the existing set, or a plain black box. So I used it. I think the idea of having a "Dr. Horrible's lab" part of the set established is important, and it was cool to let the rest of the stage become other things.

[NoNameLikeThisOne]

I think people don't like it because he's too loud and whiny, not the shy, quiet type that Dr. Horrible should be.

[ErectAH]

oh and this toootaally isnt a dr.steel rip off ... -.-

[Butterflygymnophoria]

We were going to do this at my school, but apparently we couldn't buy the rights?

Brad DeBiase here, I played the Doc in this version two years ago. I think fondly back on the whole experience and am glad at the discussion and comments that have ensued in this forum. Such is art. But a couple things people may be forgetting:

1) We put this show up in two weeks & zero budget

2) Live performances lose a good amount of their integrity when documented on film, something that doesn't translate

3) Thanks to those of you who have found the positive aspects of what we created

[Bensteroni]

I was wondering how you guys got permission rights to perform this. I really want my high school to do a version of Dr. Horrible, but since it will be for a drama competition, we need to have permission.

Thanks for any help forthcoming!

[Ralx13]

I'm thinking about doing Dr. Horrible at my school, but our stage is a fraction the size of yours. How do you suggest we go about it?

Great, by the way.

[WooHoo507]

Where did you get that freeze ray? o.o

[tinhoyhu]

Great production! The only thing that bothered me was Dr. Horrible sounding a bit gay (NPH is, not his character!), and Penny sounding too bitchy, but those were just a minor niggle in an awesome show. Loved Moist and the Bad Horsemen!

"Just a few weeks away from a real... Oh... Audable connection." XD BEST PART YET! XD

[Schmier316]

Awesome! I always wondered how to realise the original on stage and I think you did a perfect job!
