Storyline

Sunnydale is alive with the sound of music as a mysterious force causes everyone in town to burst into full musical numbers, revealing their innermost secrets as they do. But some townsfolk are dancing so much that they simply burst into flames, and it becomes clear that maybe living in a musical isn't so great after all. Written by Alex

Trivia

On the DVD commentary for this episode, Joss Whedon says that many of the songs he wrote for this musical were conscious references to different musical theater styles and composers. For instance, Whedon characterizes "Going Through The Motions" as an "I want" song in the tradition of the opening numbers sung by heroines of Ashman-Menken Disney musicals such as "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid and "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast (albeit with what he calls a Stephen Schwartz ending). He says that "I'll Never Tell" is his 1930s "Astaire/Rodgers" number, and he likens "Walk Through The Fire" to the four-part "Tonight Quintet" that introduces the climactic moments of the end of the first act of "West Side Story."

One Question About This Episode...While Watching...Did Anybody Else...Burst Into Song?
29 July 2010 | by (Valhalla) – See all my reviews

Sunnydale is alive with the sound of music as a mysterious force causes everyone in town to burst into full musical numbers, revealing their innermost secrets as they do. But some townsfolk are dancing so much that they simply burst into flames, and it becomes clear that maybe living in a musical isn't so great after all. This Episode Is One Of The Best Musicals Ever Made. I Despise Musicals. I Give This 9 But I Gave It One More Star For Its Imagination. I Showed This To A Non-Buffy Fan & He Gave It 9 As Well. To Me Claiming This Is The Best Buffy Episode Ever Made Is Kind Of Overrating It. My Favourite Song From This Episode Is "Walk Through The Fire" Followed By "Rest In Peace"...Yeah...I Like A Song That Is Sung By James Marsters...I Was Scared Too But He Can Sing Songs Like "R.I.P.". The Biggest Surprise Singing Talent Came From...Well Everyone. When I Heared About This I Was Actually Scared. This Is An Excellent Episode Of Buffy. If Your A Buffy Fan & Want To Get A Friend Hooked On Buffy This Is The Episode To Show Them. I Would Loved To See Joss Whedon Explaining To Hinton Battle His Role...Or Even To The Main Cast Members. Sarah Michelle Gellar Stated That The Most Terrifying Thing She Had To Do On The Show Was Sing. Best Buffy Episode: The Wish. Best Musical: Dr. Horrible. 2nd Best Musical: Once More With Feeling.
