During COVID-19 lockdowns, we all had plenty of time to indulge in any films and television we wanted, including “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

The iconic TV series is the headlining subject of the Florida Björkestra’s first Buffyfest since 2019. Before the ensemble gets through every number from “Buffy’s” musical episode “Once More With Feeling,” it’ll perform the entirety of the soundtrack to “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” a beloved Internet cult classic that proved how well Neil Patrick Harris could play an aspiring antagonist opposite Nathan Fillion.

Tickets for The Florida Björkestra’s Buffyfest happening Saturday, April 5 at St. Petersburg’s Palladium Theater are still available and start at $30.
