Ya gotta realize that I love getting Asks, no matter who they’re from (well I don’t like trolly asks but that goes w/o sayin’), when it’s from someone who seems like they’re not necessarily in our fandom, that’s fine, too. Not everyone has to be as obsessed with this to the level that I am ;} Any interest is good interest!

^fanart by @garama, who must have seen it live or the video of it, and has drawn fanart based on the musical, so he must have liked it! This is one of my all-time fave fanarts of the little family ❤ i just want to buy a whole graphic novel in this beautiful heartfelt style is that so much to ask *cries* 

Re: Lestat the Musical, I am so sorry to say that I didn’t like it and I can’t even enjoy the videos of it *sobs* I vaguely remember one funny joke Gabrielle made about childbirth, something like that was the first of many bellyaches Lestat caused her… ? I don’t remember 😛

Some ppl loved Lestat the Musical, and more power to them! I am jealous of you. IDK if you saw the SF version or NYC version, live or video of it, but I saw the NYC version live and I partially blame the NYC producers for how bad it was for me, bc they apparently stripped out alot of the flair and gay stuff, maybe they were afraid it was pushing the envelope too far? But isn’t that what theatre is supposed to do? *sigh*

You can find ppl who enjoyed it, and other stuff about it, in my #Lestat the Musical tag.

Sadly, I mostly feel second-hand embarrassment for Lestat the Musical bc I made the mistake of inviting my cousin to go w/ me. She was not in the fandom, and she was uncomfortable the whole time *facepalm* Idk I thought she’d be into it, but the NYC version we saw was stripped so bare, and there was little to engage with. I can’t even listen to the soundtrack! It just brings me back to how disappointed I was in the bareness of the production, at the whole audience’s lack of enthusiasm… much cry, very sad.

So I have to be cautiously optimistic about the adaptation in the works and hope that they considered Lestat the Musical and can avoid its pitfalls.
