THE JOYCE SUMMERS GRAVE I WASNT READY
U JUST GONNA IGNORE THE JENNY GRAVE
Joyce I was ready for Jenny I was thoroughly unprepared!
😱
And they forgot poor Snyder
It’s *always* too soon for losing Joyce.
The actor who plays Giles just nailed Anthony Stewart Head's physicality.
Thx😉
Buffy definitely studied those dance moves. excellent job
My god the toy fire trucks during the end of Walk Through the Fire gave me life. Such a nice attention to detail.
God job everybody!
So impressed with Natalie Wisdom nailing those dance moves as Buffy!
Max props to Anya and Xander - they killed i'll never tell
I love hoow they did the "previously on Buffy" segment exactly like it was. Awesome job!
Loved Xander and Giles! They both did really well capturing what the original actors brought to the characters
I ran into this randomly and thought "Okay, three minutes of cringing and I'll move on". Nearly an hour later I'm whopping and clapping like I'm there. Fantastic performance. So much fun! And Matthew Hougland: that is one huge voice you've got there.
JOYCE AND JENNYS GRAVES LMAO IM DEAD
This is the best thing that ever ended up on the internet.
As a lover of both theatre and buffy I have watched quite a few once more with feeling stage adaptations and this is hands down the best one I’ve seen! The singing, acting, choreography (especially considering the obvious lack of stage space), comedic timing and overall direction are unparalleled. It embraces the inherent goofiness of both the episode and the process of bringing it to the stage. Nice job!
Also, even though they were not in the main cast and had 8 million bit ensemble parts, Kelly and Michelle for real tied this whole show together shout out to them
Great job to everyone involved. The woman playing Buffy did SMG justice. The knife throwing scene was awesome.
THEIR GILES IS SOOOO GOOD
Actor playing Xander is fantastic 👏
This was a very unexpected fantastic recreation of one of my favorite TV episodes of all time. It is not not a reimagining, but rather a faitthful adaptation for a live performance on a (very) small stage.
I was first blown away by how many scenes of the original were reproduced in such a short time with brilliant improvisations for limited space and resources.
More amazing, however, was that the mood was replicated so well. The pathos, the grief, the anxiousness, the humor all as in the original [audience cluelessness at times herein, notwithstanding].
Yes, I am a Buffy fan, though I never would have thought to be, put off just by the title. I"m a guy. I don't watch "Buffy" anything!
Then, Marvin Kitman, a critic for the Long Island newspaper Newsday wrote an article entitled (if I remember correctly), "The best show on TV that you're not watching."
So, I tried "Buffy." I was enthralled. One of the smartest shows ever, in my opinion.
Kudos to this cast and to the adapters from tv to stage. I will watch this many times again, I'm sure.
You should also watch the spinoff Angel. You get to see Faith's redemption on Angel and a chance for her to act like the slayer without being in Buffy's shadow. Cordelia and Wesley also become much better characters than they were on Buffy
This was actually really good. Loved every second of it.
Old guy and Buffy fan. This was very well done and touched my heart as I remain trapped during this virus. Be safe
This is without a doubt the best-directed play I’ve ever seen. Your stage is 12’x18’ and you need to stage an epic musical? Here’s the instruction manual. LEAN IN! :)
I'm sitting in England at gone midnight watching this in my kitchen. Great job guys
The Xander and Anya rocked this!!
The dude who played spike looks a lot like OZ
Xander being late on the cue and Giles tapping him is a perfect character moment
Time stamp?

I came across this by happy accident as well. All I can say is WOW! I loved it. It was clever, it was funny, and best of all it made me cry in the exact same places. Great job!
Same here, exactly!
Wow!! This was awesome!! I’m a huge Buffy fan and have watched Once More With Feeling many times. When I came across this I was curious enough to watch a few minutes but before I knew it I was glued and watched til the end! The cast did amazing! All the dancing, the singing, the comedic timing, the costumes, the set... everything was awesome! The funniest and most clever part was the knife work at 33:32!!! 😂 Great work everyone!! Thanks for posting this!
Yeah I loved it !
I think it is very funny that they did the previously on.
This is so clever and so well choreographed, blocked and staged and you can tell those involved knew the original without completely doing a copy. Loved how you managed to get the costumes close when you could and just blown away by the puppet masks. The bits of business in "I'm Under Your Spell," "I'll Never Tell" and "Standing" especially are so much fun. Thanks for actually making me laugh with this. As a NYer, I wish I'd known/gone to the Duplex to see this live.
I am shocked by how good this was. really improved my quarantine to watch it :)
The best stage production I've seen of Once More With Feeling 👍😊🥰
Oh, that was *awesome*!! You guys did an incredible job!!
Love it! Old school Buffy fan here. But the audience didnt get the sadness in some parts unfortunatel. its not all a joke and i think you did great, the audience sometimes didnt get it.
Agreed, for example at 41:48 , I don’t see how this was something to laugh at...
Honestly, the audience didn't get the tiniest part of this, probably due to lack of knowledge and understanding of the Buffyverse. Hearing them laugh at Dawn's feeble "The hardest thing in this world... is to live in it" (which we all know to be a quotation from 5x22 The Gift, easily the pinnacle of tragedy in the whole show) drove me INSANE. Just shut the hell up and have some respect for my teenage traumas, will ya.
Oh man I'm so glad I discovered this!! An incredible rendition of the episode with amazing attention to detail! Such nostalgia watching this! I stayed up super late at night because I just couldn't stop watching once I started!
Right from the intro, I could tell who everyone was playing because the outfits were so on point! Giles' acting was basically perfect. So was the choreo for Dawn's Ballet and What You Feel. Sweet, Xander and Anya all absolutely KILLED IT with their numbers! I loved how you guys did Sweet's color change! And the slow-mo training session during Standing was absolutely hilarious!! As was the bed scene in Under Your Spell (very clever making the bed vertical!)! And I gotta talk about Walk Through The Fire--there's a lot of moving parts, but you guys executed so well! It's very obvious that you guys were seriously hardcore fans to have gotten so many little details and nuances right from the original episode! And even the little extra things you added like Anya's thing about her song being a "retro, pastiche number that's never going to be the breakaway pop hit" were excellent and very in character!
I could go on forever... So much respect and appreciation for you guys for creating this gem and putting on RUclips for all of us to enjoy!
Love this. A few live show hiccups but the cast and band handled it well for the most part. A few lyric issues, which made some songs feel under rehearsed for a show that would appeal to fans who would likely know the episode back to front. But still mostly got the meaning across. Great way to fill time during quarantine
This is so good! I love the youtube algorithm bringing me here
Definitely made my quarantine! Grear job guys
This is hilarious, u guys nailed it!!!
i just found this, after searching for a cover for the songs.
i didn't knew i actually needed a re-done of the episode.
you guys are great!
This is pretty much how I expect Buffy to carry on after the apocalypse when there's no more electricity or DVDs or anything.
This and cave paintings.
I thought this production was amazing, down to the ringing bell of the magic box, the knives and even the actors nailed their parts!
I sung along to it all!
That intro was gold! And the rest great gems 💎
Whoever came up with this idea, I LOVE YOU!
Excellent cast, acting, singing...very enjoyable.
They didn’t laugh at the funniest part when Giles says that Buffy needs back up... Doesn’t seem like there are many fans of the show in the audience haha
Ikr? That's my fave line. I was just in a production of this and no one laughed then either. But it's so funny
Such a great job lmao was obsessed with that episode back in the day xD
You guys nailed It, love from Brazil 🇧🇷
I ended up on that video by accident, but WHAT A HAPPY ACCIDENT THIS IS !! This is perfection ❤❤
this is so well done by all involved!
For the record, if your group somehow produced a live adaptation of the whole series, I would buy tickets to every single episode, and buy it in every available format.
Fantastic job. I love the touch of performing the episode recap.
This was bloody brilliant. Especially the Previously On.
One of the things that brought me happiness in quarantine and across the ocean :).
Tha'ts amazing!! Great performers!!!
Not gonna lie hated first 5 minutes....then I got it...bloody brilliant ! Well done !
giles is more giles than giles
What a great Show, i had so much fun watching you! I loved that episode and u did it all so well! It was funny and on point
Bloody priceless!
Jelqius! As a huge Buffy fan I wish I was there live! I loved the Giles , Buffy and Spike actors,
This made me SO HAPPY! Brilliant job
Wow, amazingly done. Thank you. And the "flying knives"... you really got the humor of the original show.
Why have I not seen this until now?! This should be traveling the world off Broadway. I guess I'm a biased Buffy fan, but this was an amazing redo. Great job guys!
this is good but i wish the dude who played spike knew the words to rest in peace lol
Love the 'previously on' lol I've watched the ep so many times I've got that stupid thing memorized too
Lol
Love this musical. So funny and clever!
omg I'm obsessed with this
Oh man, I love stuff like this. Great big smile 😃
That was so good! Watched from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧😍😍
I didn't even know that I needed to watch this, lol!
I loved it verrrry much. Great job, guys! Thank you. 👍😊😊
Really fantastic performance! I was slightly frustrated with the audience laughing during Under Your Spell though..... I miss Tara so much!
im with you....
I didn't understand the audience laughing either
They were laughing at the staging gimmicks
@@bexproctor360 they were just laughing at the complete lack of effects on the "magic". Not in a nasty way, just laughing at the limitations of a stage play really.
I loved!!!!!!!
I love that this exists!
I watched the entire thing , incredible !!!!
Kinda laughing that Spike's actor looks distinctly more... Oz-like. He killed it though.
This was an awesome version of the show! I didn't expect to laugh as much.,..if not more than the original. This was amazing!
This was amazing! What a talented group!
Amazing loved it!!
33:28 omg I am dying! 😆
WOW! Just fantastically wow! Loved it!
Aww this is amazing. Great job, all of you! So nostalgic for me
this is absolutely amazing!
This is amazing genius wow
Great job to everyone involved! Buddy fan since from day one. You all did amazing! Congratulations!
It was amazing!! OMG!!! I LOVE IT!
A truly excellent performance, thank you so much!
This is awsome!!! Congratulations! As a fan of the show, I really enjoy it. Thank you!!
I loved it! Awesome.
Everyone is talking about how they didn't demon up sweet but the actor absolutely smashed "I know what you feel" and just the acting in general
And that "see you in HEEEEELLLLL" was awesome
Yeah he was great, no demon make up needed.
SU-BLI-ME !!... In some parts I couldn't stop laughing, really my congratulations, not for the funny parts but for the whole, both musical and performance and staging. I LOVED! You brought me back so many memories, and especially from a chapter whose songs I know by heart! I'm about to watch the entire series again for the thousandth time! THANK YOU!
Pissed me off that 'Spike' didn't look a bit annoyed as he sang the first verse of 'Let me rest in peace'. But, not bad.
This is so wonderful, 'Once more with feeling' is one of my fav episodes!
this is so good! Respect to all performers etc!!! So much detail and heart poured into this not to mention... this is funny!! Great job people!
Deleted my account to reduce my digital footprint, so basically came back to make the exact two same statements.... four years later...
1) Best live performance of OMWF ever...
2) Buffy actress is totes gorge and has absolutely theee most beautiful nose profile I have ever seen! major swoonage.... be still, my heart.
welp... if I delete this account I'll be back in 2027 to say the exact same thing once more... with feeling.
Are you them, their partner, or just obsessive? Cause they're definitely pretty but certainly not remarkable, and they do indeed have quite a large nose, not that there's anything wrong with that. Wait are you a nose fetishist?
fun fact the girl who played buffy had never seen the show and knew nothing about it
i looooooooved it. great job! i wasn’t expecting to find a live musical made by fans. what a beautiful surprise
This was amazing!!! I loved it!!
The amount of restraint not to sing along is impressive
So happy this was recommended to me
this is sensational!
This was GREAT!
This is so wholesome😂❤
