Forgot to blog about it earlier, but luckily, Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" is still up and available to watch for free on Hulu, or download on iTunes.
It's an Internet musical about a wannabe low-rent supervillain, Dr. Horrible (played by Neil Patrick Harris, who is awesome), his arch-nemesis, the smarmy Captain Hammer (played by Nathan Fillion), and Penny, the girl at the laundromat he can't work up the courage to talk to (played by Felicia Day). Co-written, directed, and produced by Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly), it's got great songs, great humor, some awesome lines, and that priceless mix of cheese and unexpected emotion. Check it out!
Speaking of the awesome Neil Patrick Harris, some YouTube goodness (and evidently Doogie Howser seasons 1 & 2 are up on Hulu):
NPH and Jason Segal singing "Confrontation" from Les Miz on the Megan Mullally show. It's hysterical and awesome, all at once.
Telly's New Shoes - NPH on Sesame Street next season as the "Shoe Fairy". The guy can sing!
NPH's Old Spice commercial - just fun
NPH as Tobias in Sweeney Todd with Patti LuPone
NPH and Christian Menna sing "What You Own" from Rent on the Rosie O'Donnell show, circa 1997. Finally get to hear NPH as Mark! I'm not entirely sure I like how he sings this - he's kind of doing the Anthony Rapp but pinching his voice *just* a little too much for my taste. Sure sounds different than his later singing... Still, really neat.
Take Me Or Leave Me 1/2
Take Me Or Leave Me 2/2
This is just fun - Neil and his boyfriend David Burtka performing "Take Me or Leave Me" from "Rent" at "Broadway Backwards" which is evidently where women sing the men's parts and men sing the women's... from the "Kiss, Doogie" to NPH doing his best Joanne, it puts a smile on my face.
OK I should go to bed. But there's more!
