....don't get your hopes up too high. By the time the 06 Fest comes around, the newest Vampire Musical probably won't be there.

I saw this in previews in NYC last month and it is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your hard earned money! It was a piece of crap, for real! The music is just so-so and the story was BORING (one of the critics in the attached URL said Lestat was a "musical sleeping pill" and he's right, I fell asleep! Go see Wicked, or Hairspray, or ANYTHING but this dreck dear cousins!

I was even more disappointed that "Dance of the Vampyres" closed so quickly, more than anything else as a chance to see Michael Crawford, as well as that I always liked the Polanski film. I had hopes it would be running when the DS convention was on. I suppose it may be "Phantom of the Opera" for us in August as Diane has not seen that one on the stage.

Is it possible to get tickets to "Spamalot" during the Fest? Because THAT is worth every penny of the ticket price and THEN some!!! [lghy]

Last I heard it was sold out for months in advance. Call the Shubert Theater in NYC and see.

This makes me feel rather relieved that the suggestion of a DS musical, bandied about several years ago, apparently came to naught. On the outer stretches of MAYBE, it might have worked out, but the track record for this genre of entertainment, vis-a-vis vampires, has not been promising. Some things are best left in non-musical form, though either drama or black comedy would work for me.
I once saw Frank Langella on Broadway in "Dracula", egads, it's almost 30 years ago, and THAT was a grand experience. (However, I didn't much like the film.)

Also .. try some other stuff. . off-bway is good for cheaper tickets and memorable experiences, see http://www.timeout.com/newyork/ViewSection.do?sectionId=theater for suggested shows . . .i highly recommend seeing something else besides retread pop songs or music videos on stage. . try Doubt or The Light in the Piazza Sweeney Todd or Avenue Q. .

I can highly recommend two off-Broadway shows, if they are still around in August that is. If they are, go see either A Jew Grows in Brooklyn or I Love You Because. Both are fantastic. And off-Broadway is way cheaper than Broadway so you could see both for the price of ONE Broadway show.
