Not all vampire musicals rock, you know
May. 21st, 2006 02:57 pmAnother video from Lestat on Broadway:
Embrace It
(In which Louis is whiny, Lestat is very grabby, and no attempt at denying the slash is made.)
The sad thing is, there are things that could be so good about it. Hugh Panaro makes a good Lestat, petulant and bratty, and aware of his own handsomeness. Jim Stanek is nothing to scoff at, and appropriately stuck up and whiny like Louis should be. But there's just no saving these lyrics and music at all.
Lestat premiere segment - mostly Elton John and others blathering, but also clips of I Want More, Welcome to the New World and whatever song Armand sings at damaged!Lestat. Armand is also surprisingly evil and decent, but clearly unused to fangs. Vampires should not lisp.
