Harris will be performing in a musical number based off of Joss Whedon's web hit ["Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."](http://www.hulu.com/watch/28327/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog-act-one)  
  
Whedon won a [Creative Arts Emmy](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112983657&ps=cprs) last week for "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."  
  
The three-part series follows Dr. Horrible ([Neil Patrick Harris](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112983657&ps=cprs)), a super-villain "with a P.H.D. in horribleness," and his attempts to get into the Evil League of Evil and win the love of his life, Penny ([Felcia Day](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1260407/)). He is thwarted by his arch nemesis Captain Hammer ([Nathan Fillion](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0277213/)).
