If you’re in San Diego for the 2011 Comic-con or 2011 Gam3rCon, be sure to catch the fan driven adaptation from Chinese Pirate Productions, of the 2008 Award Winning web series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog by Maurissa Tancharoen, Zack, Jed, and Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly). The live show offers a whole new way to experience this smart and funny “trage-comedy.” Here’s more about Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog:
Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain with his own video blog, is attempting to join the prestigious Evil League of Evil (led by the legendary “thoroughbred of sin”, Bad Horse), but his plans are usually foiled by the egotistical superhero Captain Hammer. Horrible’s life is thrown for a loop when he falls in love with Penny, a beautiful and optimistic advocate for the homeless he meets at the laundromat, a situation which complicates itself even further when Penny begins dating the boorish, oafish Hammer after he apparently saves her life. Faced with the task of impressing the League, can Horrible overcome his own incompetence to ruin the day, kill the hero, and still get the girl?
In the live adaptation, singer Jane Lui has been cast as Penny, the main female lead. The original role of Penny for the webseries was played by Felicia Day.
You can get ticket for the live adaptation here. Performances run between July 17 -24 ONLY. The event takes place at the TENTH AVENUE THEATER, 930 10th Ave, San Diego, CA.
