We used to hang out at Joss`s place Sunday nights and do Shakespeare readings. I got to do my Richard III recently. Then we`d have a few tequilas, sit around the piano and sing. I talked to Joss years ago about doing a Buffy musical, and then finally in the summer he sat down and wrote Once More, With Feeling," episode seven of season six. He`s taken the inaccessible area of musicals - why does everybody keep singing? - and turned it to his advantage. It`s the answer to "Hush," season four`s spellbinding silent episode where nobody could talk. We all sing about the things we`re thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can`t talk about. It works a real treat." [January 9, 2002]
