Buffy the Vampire Slayer Cast

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Cast refers to the ensemble of actors from the television series «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» who performed the songs from its acclaimed 2001 musical episode, «Once More, with Feeling». Written by series creator Joss Whedon, the episode had the cast of the supernatural drama break into original song and dance as a demon's curse forces Sunnydale's residents to reveal their innermost feelings through music.

The episode's soundtrack spans a range of musical-theater styles, from the swaggering rock number «Rest In Peace» to the tender duet «Under Your Spell» and the comic ensemble piece «I've Got a Theory / Bunnies / If We're Together». Actors including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Anthony Stewart Head and Amber Benson performed their own vocals, giving the songs an unpolished, character-driven charm rather than a slick studio-pop sheen.

«Once More, with Feeling» became a cult phenomenon in its own right, spawning sing-along theatrical screenings and a devoted fan tradition distinct from the show's main run. Its songs are remembered as a rare example of a genre television series fully committing to a musical format for a single episode, blending the show's mix of horror, humor and heartbreak into original songwriting.
