Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer are used to seeing its creative team pull off unique feats in every season, but Once More With Feeling is perhaps the most creatively challenging episode so far. A superbly enjoyable pastiche of old Hollywood musicals and Broadway shows, it finds an all-singing, all-dancing demon descending on Sunnydale intent on making the town's inhabitants free their innermost secrets through song. As a pivotal episode it proves a turning point for many of the characters, and as a unique piece of TV it's quite clearly unrivalled. There isn't a bad song among them and it's hard not to turn demon-green with envy that show creator Joss Wheedon, who wrote and directed this episode, can be so sickeningly talented. It doesn't matter that some of the cast are less then blessed vocally, but stand-out performances from James Marsters (Spike) and Amber Benson (Tara) help carry along the weaker voices. This book is fan's dream with a detailed behind-the-scenes look at how the episode came about, the complete script, photographs and even the music sheets should you wish to try the songs from the comfort of your Steinway. This is a worthy and essential companion to perhaps Buffy's finest hour (and eight minutes) yet. --Jonathan WeirCustomer reviews:  Great for Buffy fans, 2004-04-29
If youre a fan of Buffy then this will interest you. If you took aparticular liking to the musical episode 'once more with feeling'thenyou'll love this. I particulary like this book as it has the sheet musicto the songs, so I can play and sing along on my piano. hurrah.
 Buffy is great, 2003-08-12
this episode of Buffy the vampire slayer was a little different, to put it mildly. it mainly consisted of songs. have any of you ever heard Anthony Stuart Head or Alyson Hannigon sing before? thought not.
this episode involved a demon coming and his very presence makes people burst into song and dance. it was xander who summoned him unwittingly, not realising that people would start bursting into flames if they danced too hard.
i gave this episode 4 stars instead of 5 because all the songs did tend to go on a bit
