LESTAT TAKES A BITE OUT OF TONY WITH CAROLEE CARMELLO

[louisemichelle00]

there's a muscial of lesat?? 0.o cool!

[Littlemissmazda]

@louisemichelle00 There was.

It played on Broadway in 2006, but it only lasted 39 performances. Sad, because the songs are amazing! As is the story.

[MrTaco9000]

LOL CHARLIE BIT ME!

[TheBannanaTribe14]

the play? no no, worse, the musical? ew.

[Judill]

Carolee is an amazing performer. One of those actresses whose work is so consistently good. Not surprised at this nomination even if Lestat was a flop.

[Cronana]

Perhaps the San Fran version may make a comeback in Europe someday. One can hope.

[momo4peaches]

I wanna see Lestat the musical! O: Sounds EPIC! x3

[albertwesker1998]

I can't see her as gabrielle at all. Gabrielle was talked about as beautiful, this girl is just okay. Granted it was Lestat talking about his mother but I would have figured they'd have someone better. But an Anne Rice Vampire novel as a musical is as insulting as when they tried making Freddy Krueger the host of the reality show about fear. It's too far. Freddy was meant to be scarry and this is just down right insulting to have that fuck play the great Lestat.

[KiniaInia112]

Wha..?

[bachilles009]

KHA HA, YOUR MOM'S A VAMPIRE!

[cheskabelle]

i imagined gabrielle a little bit different but she's great!!!!!!!!!!

[peskylisa]

I really want to see this!!!!!

[Go70s]

I love Carolee. She is so talented and down to earth.  She was amazing in Mamma Mia!, too.

[LKKSEmpress]

but i hate it when he sings all cheesy =(

advice-if you're going to make a musical about Lestat and you want him to sing, make it rock music

[aNightmaresRequiem]

@LKKSEmpress

Lestat was a stage ACTOR in PARIS in his youth... you think they had rock music in the 1600's? This is the kind of thing the character Lestat did for a living prior to becoming a Vampire, so it's only fitting they made a musical based on the book.... I'll bet you're a HUGE fan of the Queen of the Damned MOVIE arn't you?

[LKKSEmpress]

The Vampire Lestat really IS a phenomenon!

[bifflemcchuff66]

I'm so gutted I never got to see this, I'm desperate to :( I hope they do a re-run one day! (soon, preferably)

[Coronadogrl]

@bifflemcchuff66 It flopped. Its prob not coming back until people get over Twilight.

[kayloLovesLennon]

She is great but in the Book: The Vampire Lestat I pictured Gabrielle looking a LOT different

[zachxhott64]

I met Carrolee today. she's donna in mamma mia.

shes the nicest and most amazing person EVER

[Fazedlight]

SINGING> I dunno....I REALLY Don't knw...

I never thought about it before....

[IDRIS1130]

CAROLEE CARMELLO IS A REVELATION!

[Elodiron]

is there a cd with the live record on it? or can i find it in internet? on the account "Jojoschatz19" there are 4 live recorded songs! they are in studio quality

[snakemuse]

Dude. Lestat the musical

[MIALING12345]

what's the name of this play?

[Elodiron]

the little microphones on their heads xD

[phantomphan07]

oy... i had tickets for the 3 days after it closed. I was so disappointed. Did the album ever get released?

[chaksheba]

I saw this in SF opening night and closing night. It was amazing then Elton decided to redue the whole thing and it failed fast on broadway =*(

[VampireSyx]

do you know any links so i can see/listen to the songs before he re-did it?

this musical is beautiful!

[BOBOGHOST]

Damn! Lestat mom is hot!

[Lestatsangel]

I wish I could have seen this. I absolutely adore Lestat.

[IDRIS1130]

Carolee Carmello is a revelation & miraculous

[StrayIkon]

i wanted to this so bad. bumed i missed it

[claudiagong]

i love lestat......

[mayfair08]

Oh, I wish they hadn't ended the show!

[vampireangie]

I love this play of Lestat

[midnightvampire49321]

what the heck, Did they evan have the right's to use the name?

[Paula74]

Yes, they did. Anne Rice was also at both the SF and NYC premieres.

[FantasmaLuna]

Looks like fun, but the presenter sounds sooooo boring!

[rainbowspotter]

hehe drewies face on 0:17 is awsome! I'd be pleased if they've taped it. Music is so good.

[crybaby89562]

i saw this show like 3 times and loved it so yeah and hugh and carolee are amazing together

[gpsysngbrd]

OMG her son is 5? I remember when that kid was born!

[GodEatGod616]

Who made this? Why in God's name would someone do such a thing?

[becky2shoes]

What, the musical? I saw it 3 times and I thought that each time. ;-)

[NicIsNotANinja]

oh god... oh god no, not this fucking woman again! someone kill her!

[Paula74]

Kill her?  Even if you dislike her, that's pretty low. Whether you like her or not, she's someone's daughter, wife, mother, friend, etc. Wishing her dead reflects far worse on you than on her.

[buggerlu]

WTF they got to get this on cd or dvd..

whats up with him...

[vampiregazer]

looks horrible. i hate the idea of lestat dancing around. the guys not even cute in the show!!! THE OUTRAGE!!!

[GRABBAGWOOT]

I don't get why they don't film the musical with these actors then sell the video. Hell, I'd buy it!

[PatrolTheCrack]

i love the books

but i doubt i would love the play.

[xoangel2789xo]

i wanted to see it but by the time i tried to i realized it was closed already. = /

[Alex19311]

hey, whats the name of the song they're singing at the end? I love it!

[MercifulDeath23]

I wish they had that song on youtube

its so beautiful..

[eriksangelofmusic]

I LOVE Hugh Panaro!!!!

[bloodtiesfanatic]

i wanna see it!!!! it looks like it was a really good show!!! ive read some of the books i have the whole series of novels i just havent read all of them im working on it though!!!

[somebodyhadpickle]

Can we say that the person narrating this video needs to take voice over classes??? For the love of God, woman!!! She sounds like the dude from Ferris Buler's day off....Buler....Buler....Ferri­s Buler.....

[whitewolf200]

they should release this to DVD, i wanna see this so bad

[Valo212]

Ugh, this musical was/is a huge embarrassment to an amazing series of novels. the idea of lestat prancing around a stage and singing songs written by elton john makes me sad. very sad.

[Mut2234]

that's sad......

[ecthelion04]

"the idea of lestat prancing around a stage and singing songs". From everything that I've read about Lestat, that doesn't seem to far fetched. lol. Now if someone want to discuss that QOTD film, then I've got a list of things.

[Merytsetesh]

I know! Lestat is just enough of a drama queen and narcissus to love an entire musical about...himself! I do seem to remember him being an actor before he was turned, and we all remember his brief "goth n' roll" career. Though he might be a bit put out that his "mother" became the center of attention. :)

[RENTness]

I wanted to see this so much but didn't even know it was out until it was over. :( From the clips I've seen It seems better than the harsh reviews, but I think it would have sounded awesome with as a rock opera...an opinion coming from someone having not seen it though. lol

[LittleFrankNFurter]

GOD I hate not having been able to see this

[yumichan89]

Ohhh, I wish they would release this album. From what I've heard from audiences, it wasn't THAT bad. It just needed a little tweaking, like any Broadway show when it first opens.

[figsdad]

YES we all should email elton and ask him to bring out the cd or even the dvd it would make him think that fans want the cd makes sence as they have recorded the show in cd format and dvd..

[princezanna]

shoulda won. This also deserved best score, which it didn't even get nominated for. and I'm still waiting for that album they recorded and never released!

[figsdad]

Indeed if they can release evil dead the musical on cd carnt see why elton wont release lestat.

TO ME IT LOOKED OK THE CLIPS I SAW..

[princezanna]

You know, the show had a bad script, a bad director, and a bad ending. everything else as far as the actors, costumes, and especially the score was effing incredible!

[becky2shoes]

Clips only tell part of the story! HA!

[rainbowspotter]

*grins* YAY! More Lestat. I love Carolee. I hate this woman who is speaking! I WANTED TO SEE THIS!!!

[c0y0tx]

where is the DVD for those poor souls that dont have the oportunity to go to the musical?

[becky2shoes]

"Poor souls." LOL.

[encorebc]

She's incredible! And such a sweet person! She was fantastic in Lestat, even though the show was atrocious. Lots of great songs though!!!

[becky2shoes]

Agreed. She was SO much fun to watch. The show was awful. ;-)
