Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog Play

The very same day we made sure we were okay in a Fiery Crash, we also saw Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog in play form at the Blue Monkey Theater. I confess, I had no idea until we walked in that we were seeing a play and not the film. It turned out to be great fun.

Burt lent Matt his Dr. Horrible costume, and Laurie dressed up as Captain Hammer.

Dr. Horrible.

He has a Ph.D. in horribleness.

The woman taking pictures took a wedding photographer's amount of photos. It was weird. So I took a photo to capture the moment. Also in this photo: Burt, he of the awesome Dr. Horrible costume. He was feeling under the weather and still managed a smile.

When we got inside there was a stage setting and it dawned on me that perhaps this wasn't just a screening. Matt was very excited by the Angel doll sitting on the couch. He wanted me to take a picture of it.Captain Hammer triumphs over Dr. Horrible on set before the play starts.

The play was fun to watch, in that they added choreography and also songs from Commentary: The Musical! It also had a lot of high school students in it, which I always enjoy. It was difficult to watch in that the actors were performing a highly quotable film and they weren't as good at delivery as Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris & Felicia Day. Performing a familiar work live is a tough tightrope.
