Sarah sound like a woman in her 40s... she's supposed to be a young girl on the brink of becoming a woman! And I prefer Steve to sing in German

@thesoundofmusicality I think you can clearly HEAR that it is Steve ;D

@TheGooglhupf Roman Polanski is a native german speaker!!! Very, very good joke :P

[TheGooglhupf]

about the musical: the musical is based on the movie "The Fearless Vampire Killers" by roman polanski (btw native german speaker). He did not work out "total eclipse" for bonny tylor in the 1980s. But the german musical he did and so the lyrics are not tarnslated by word but by sence. The original musical was german!!!! (presented 1997 in vienna) and NOT english (2002) !!!! the english version has so many changes that it can also be seen as own show. independent from the orininal.

How I wished there was a real OB cast CD. The demo singers are not really my taste and Steve is better in german.

[stefiparks]

much better in german, lyrics are better...sich verlieren heisst sich befreien...the english lyrics have no sense...I'll drag you down in my shadows ...thats what it says in german.

@gordon020958 oh fuck you guy. As soemone explained, Steinmann made out of the song what he wanted cause he wrote it. On another note, it was America that managed to bastardize one of the greatest musicals that ever played on european stage by turning it into a campy gay vampire comedy, that Polanski and most people involved with the original production hated. So yeah, if someone deserves to be sued for "raping" something good, it`s the broadway director for this shit.

@gordon020958

Yeah.. let's sue the germans... Idiot :P

The song was originally written by Jim Steinman, who ALSO used the music for Tanz der Vampire. He is fully entitled to use his own music. So please know your facts the next time you try to spell 'Copyright infringement' :P
