Today I went to see a High School production of Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog, it wasn't the first High School to perform the play, I believe that was
Miami Valley HS in Ohio, who received
twitter-approval to produce the show. Also recently a more elaborate version at
Windward HS in LA could post attendees Nathan, Felicia and others.
But this one was pretty sweet:
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog ONSTAGE!
Laurel Detkin's Senior Project
Date: Saturday, May 23, 2009
Time: 2:00pm - 3:15pm
Location:
Woodside Priory School's Black Box Theatre
302 Portola Rd, Portola Valley, CA
Sikander Sohail as Dr. Horrible
Monica Weber as Penny
Christian Opperman as Captain Hammer
along with
Jacob Detkin, Vickey Stein, and Laurel herself.
This was a lovely, heart felt production, they did a great job of bringing out the humor for an audience largely made up of people who hadn't seen
Dr. Horrible online. And for the record: they did not change one word of dialog (including what is 'the hammer').
Here is the video blog by the Director/Producer of this stage version (this was her Sr. Project for school);

Isn't it great to hear kids get to this point, nearing graduation, and succeeding in the things they make? I think it is great!
