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...

I think Violin is the only one I never read. Too jaded after the VC to want to touch more of her books.

Blood and Gold? *wince* The one told by the most idiotic vampire ever... and the one that completely ruins whatever was left of Marius' character.

I don't think our copy of Blood and Gold was ever actually opened :>

And Violin is dreamy/confused, but the imagery is nice at times. It reads like it was written very fast and unedited, though. There are a lot of repetitive themes from the Mayfairs and VC, but it comes together into something readable.

Leave it like that. Put other heavy books on it. Stick a warning sign on it.

I'll keep it on my back list, then.
