Joss Whedon’s New Musical…Can You Stand It?

Last night I drifted off to sleep with the soundtrack to “Once More with Feeling”, the Buffy musical episode, playing in the background. Today I wake up to the news that Joss Whedon is back with a new musical and he already has some familiar faces on board.

Yeppers, Joss has completed a 3-part Web series musical featuring none other than Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. Can you stand it?

Here’s what the genius Mr. Whedon had to say about it.

So…..
The bag is catless.

During the strike I started writing a musical intended as a limited internet series, 3 episodes of approximately 10 minutes each. Writing with me was my brother Jed, his fiancee Maurissa, and my other brother Zack. To my shock and surprise, we finished it. To my greater shock and surprise, we managed (with the help of many people I’ll be praising at length soon) to drag it into preproduction (yes, just as DOLLHOUSE was given a start date two months away and all my comics were due.) And today, after a grueling week of writing everything ever while trying to be a producer, I got to start shooting. A musical.

This much I will say: It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. And I’m having the time of my life.
