Ok, chapter 4 had such a cool ending that I forgot I was mad at the Scoobies! Yeah, thanks a lot Giles, Xander, and Willow, make the depressed girl feel even worse because you all are so petty! Grr, but I'm glad to see Xander's a little worried about everything too. And Tara's departure made me very sad, yet another perfect song to compliment the tone. I really need to start seeing theater.
Haha! That's quite a compliment, that it made you forget you were mad! And yeah, I highly recommend the theater.

Very poignant chapter. I really feel for Tara here. This is such a great read :)
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

What a wonderful song for them. I don't remember that song being so sad before. I guess putting it in a different context, really changed the meaning for me. Wonder what Willow has up her sleeve for them? I can't beleive you've posted this much. I'm so far behind in my reading. Been in and out of the hospital twice in the last 5 weeks and you guys have been posting up a storm latey, just put me in the weeds and I've finally cutting through them. Can't wait to get caught up.
In context, the song is about a woman coming out from under her husband's wing, so it's sort of female empowerment. But yeah, put it in this context, and it's pretty sad. Sorry to hear you were in the hospital! I hope you're feeling better now... glad to have you back!

Poor Tara.
The arrogance that is Willow.
Glad to see Xander standing up to her and telling her that she is wrong. She may not be listening, but it is SO much better than on the show, when everyone ignored what she was getting into, and Xander thought she could do no wrong.
Yeah... it's good to have someone to rein Willow in and keep tabs on her magic. Thanks for the review.

Willow is going to do something really stupid, isn't she!? *sigh*

Fabulous chap, my dear... loved Tara's song.
Well, it's Willow, so yeah. ;) Thanks for the review!

wow...that song was priceless....perfect for the chapter, love, perfect for tara's situation....excellent choice, excellent writing, loved it ;)
Thanks! The song's actually a woman singing about her husband, so I had to edit out the manly references, but this was one of the first songs I thought of when I came up with the idea for a musical. Glad you liked it!

Poor Tara....
Yep... I think you may be saying that a lot in this fic...

"Willow had become a different person – she’d ceased to accept the world as it was and depended on magic to change it." Really a perfect description of Willow in Season 6. Nice update...hope to see another one soon! Alia
Thanks, Alia! Glad you liked it.

Wow you are really researching a wide variety of musicals for this story...well done! Nice way to integrate the music.

Thank you, although it's not hard to research, considering I've seen almost every musical I've drawn from! And the ones I haven't seen, I have the soundtracks. I tried to use a variety, though some shows just lend themselves to Buffy-type stories.
