Phillips: I went to that “in-theater experience” twice and even brought dry cleaning with a sticky note that said “no mustard.” At one screening in Westwood, “Buffy” writer-producer Marti Noxon thanked everyone for coming and said, “Someone else wants to thank you.” Down the aisle bounded Joss. This was before “Glee” or “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” so the only real frame of reference for “musical episode” I had at the time was, like, “Xena: Warrior Princess.” (“Bitter Suite” remains a favorite.) And it went on to be shown in theaters for fan-driven, interactive sing-along events, at least for a while. Tracy Brown: It’s not hyperbole to say that I’ve probably seen “Once More, With Feeling” more times than any single episode - a tally mostly racked up when DVD boxed sets were the only way to revisit your favorite TV. (And now I’m singing the entire soundtrack, of which I own a hard copy.) And it came during a time when people were still reeling from the show changing networks and well-loved characters changing too. But what about the rest of the cast? While at a previous job, I actually took an hour-long break (which I never did) to watch it in a conference room.ĭawn Burkes: It really was a capital-E Event for “Buffy” fans. We had heard glowing reviews of Amber Benson’s voice, so Tara was set too. We knew Anthony Stewart Head, who plays Giles, and James Marsters, who plays Spike, could sing. Jevon Phillips: Fans knew that Whedon had wanted to do a musical episode for a while.
