A Little Show from Altadena

In a very small room in the back of a coffee shop, The Uke Box Heroes performed last night. Comprised of Miracle Laurie (formerly of Dollhouse) and her fiancé Christopher May, the duo played mostly covers, with a few of their own songs. By the end of the show, one thing crossed my mind about where I’d want to see Laurie next: former boss Whedon’s next installment of Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

At this point, there are no spoilers about the next installment, but I’d assume that there’s another girl in the future for Billy and Captain Hammer to fight over. Given Laurie’s ability to belt out “Moondance” and a few other classics, I’d love to have another chance to watch her work with Whedon again. The combination of her singing ability and her work as three different characters in Dollhouse has me hoping against hope for it.

Regardless of my thoughts on the next installment of Whedon’s web series, the concert was a lovely way to end another terrible storm hitting the City of Angels. The duo were appreciative of everyone who braved the downpour, and all were treated to a box of Sweethearts for the time spent at the club.

Given the atmosphere of the show, should any of you be able to see the Uke Box Heroes, I highly recommend it. The show was lively, and one with which I don’t think anyone could find fault.
