Survey regarding Buffy and Musicals
Hi all
I'm doing some research on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, particularly on the episode "Once More, With Feeling" (the musical episode). In particular, I'm looking for information on how the episode was received, and how it affected people, particularly if they are/were fans of musical theatre before or after seeing the episode.

1. Do you consider yourself a fan of Musicals or Musical Theatre?
Yes, love them!
2. Why or why not?
Anything that gives me the opportunity me to sing/dance and act on stage is glorious in my opinion!
3. Do you have any musical (voice, instrumental, etc), theatrical, dance, or musical theatre training, background, or experience? If so, please describe.
OH dear. Got 4 hours? Lets see i sang in a choir for 5 years, I have had leads on stage in 2 musicals, a good 14 years of dance (ballet, jazz, tap, musical theatre, modern, hip hop, etc... A good chunk of those years was competitive, I play the guitar and I am currently the Assistant Stage Manager for a local theatres version of "The Passion of Dracula". (thats the condensed version btw *g*)
4. What are some of your favorite musicals, if any (even if you don’t consider yourself a fan)? Why?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Musical episode (because it was awesome), The Wizard of Oz because i love the music, Annie for the same reason. I also like Pirates of Penzance, and Mama Mia.... I could go on.
5. What are some of your least favorite musicals? Why?
I honestly cannot think of one at the moment.
6. When did you decide/realize that you were or weren’t fond of musicals? Or had you not really thought about it before now?
I was 7 when my school put on the Wizard of Oz. I felt incredibly gyped because I was in the chorus instead of on stage. Id imagine it started somewhere around there.
7. Are you a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or do you consider yourself a casual watcher (so to speak), but not necessarily a fan?
Yes. Big fan.
8. When did you first see “Once More, With Feeling” (i.e.: when it first aired on television; on television but in re-runs; on DVD long after the show was off the air, etc)? Feel free to elaborate. If you haven’t seen it (or don’t even know what it is), mention that too.
The first night it was on. I actually watched it 3 times that evening...
9. If you do like musicals, were you a fan of them before or after you saw OMWF (or both)?
Before.
10. How did viewing OMWF affect your feelings about either Buffy or musicals? Did seeing OMWF make you curious about or turn you on to other musicals (whether in movies, on television, or on stage)? If so, what about it made you want to examine other musicals?
I already loved musicals and Buffy. Id say that it enhanced my love for Buffy but its doubtful because i was already incredibly fond of it.
11. Do you consider OMWF your favorite episode of Buffy? If so, why is it your favorite, and how does it relate to your feelings about musicals/musical theatre in general? If not, why not (and how does it relate)?
It is one of my favorites, more because of the sheer brilliance then because of my love of musicals. I think it would be absolutely awesome to be in it, should it ever become popular in the theatre industry...
12. If you don't mind my asking, what is your sex/gender, and how old are you?
I am a 23 year old female.
