I thought the Scrubs musical ...

Question: I thought the Scrubs musical was absolutely brilliant. I liked the fact that they found a way to make the episode a musical, and thought all the songs (with the exception of the "We'll Be Together" steal) were amazing. My favorite song was probably "Man Love." It amazed me that everyone had a good singing voice. I'm wondering if this is because of current digital technology. Though the Buffy musical was far superior, there were a few off-key voices in that episode. I just realized I really didn't have a question here, except to get your opinion on the episode.
Answer: Perhaps you missed my rave in my recent magazine review column. I loved it, although I also didn't find it not quite on par with the landmark Buffy musical episode. I thought this one was very clever and sweet, and I loved the fact that the patient who heard everything in music was played by Stephanie D'Abruzzo, from the original Broadway (and off-Broadway before that) cast of Avenue Q, whose songwriters contributed some of the material. In the Buffy episode, it made sense that some of these characters, singing and dancing against their will, wouldn't be good at it. It may just be that the Scrubs cast is more musically accomplished. They certainly impressed me.
