And on the topic of vampire musicals...

[winter]

Lestat is closing this Sunday

With 39 "official" performances, I believe it did even worse than Crawford's version of Dance of the Vampires. Considering Elton John's comments about a new kind of vampire musical with "no garlic, no crosses, absolutely no dancing vampires", I can't help but chuckle a little. Like von Krolock in my icon.

I pity the cast, though. They assembled such a lot of talented people, it's not their fault the music was trite...

The thing I will never, EVER understand about AR is that she complained bitterly about Tom Cruise as Lestat, because he wasn't "right" for the part but she waxed lyrical about great Antonio Banderas was. So much so that she wrote him his very own Gary Stu in Servant of the Bones.

She's a special kind of crazy.

I actually agree with her dream-casting of Lestat (a young Rutger Hauer - that would have been the right craziness), but yeah, Banderas was a decent vampire. Just NOT Armand.

Mmmm...sorry I drifted there for a second, what were we talking about?

Blond psycho-hotness, I think ;)
