Buffy Mania

I cannot tell a lie: I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I resisted the show when it first began, assuming it was similar in tone to the film, which was, let’s face it, not so good. Campy fun, maybe. Definitely a good time if you have some coins for a Boone’s Farm but not much else.
So I ridiculed and laughed and tried not to be too mean when people told me they liked the show. Then I saw an episode of the tv series.
Now I own the entire show on DVD (I have its spin-off, “Angel,” as well). I have a dog named after a character on the show. I practically wet myself each time I think about the upcoming comic book, which is written by creator/writer Joss Whedon and will be considered the 8th season of the show.
And then there’s this.
The Buffy Sing-along [1]at IFC (once the famous Waverly Theater) has been quietly and popularly running off and on for months now…and I’ve somehow still missed it.
Set up in the ever-popular “Rocky Horror” style, the show was created by a Brooklyn fan, Clinton McClung, and is based on the season 6 musical episode, “Once More With Feeling.” The show is gaining in popularity and McClung is rolling out editions of the show in more and more cities this year.
I am dying that I haven’t seen it yet. But I warn you all now: when they finally do a real-live stage version of Buffy, I will beat you into the ground if you try to steal Xander from me.
