Tag Archives: lestat the musical
This is super random but I was listening to my vc playlist on shuffle and was getting lestat the musical songs alternating with savage garden songs, so now I have this weird hybrid in my head going, “break me, shake me, make me as you are…”
That’s a great combo bc Savage Garden got their name from VC!
Two of the members, Daniel Jones and Darren Hayes, split off from their original band, Red Edge. Their new duo together was called Crush, and then “was renamed Savage Garden after a phrase from The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, “Beauty was a Savage Garden”.” [X]
Lestat loves Savage Garden. Definitely. Idk what he thinks about Lestat the Musical but I would guess that he would be pissed that they didn’t just hire him to act as himself. Not that he would audition. Or that they would know how to reach him. But still!
I wore my Lestat shirt, leather jacket, and blasted the songs from your musical every second I could! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I hope you get everything you want and more… Although, I’m sure your content with the company you keep. I wish you only the best, love ya
♛As well you should have! That’s an appropriate uniform for my birthday, indeed *grins* Many thanks for your lovely message.
That musical has some good music, but my own music is better, and I really must get back to the studio and record some fresh tunes for my adoring fans…
“Should I be the little miss,
And while away the hours?
I think not, I’d rather hunt
Then cut up paper flowers!”Day 281: Claudia (Lestat)
So if you CAN’T TELL… I really like drawing Armand, Louis, and Lestat….
@i-want-my-iwtv look at this super cool art of the the bad Kiddos!!
#PERFECT JUST PERFECT
based on my blog you’re probably thinking “wtf why are you messaging me?” BUT, i just wanted to know… what’s your opinion on the lestat musical? personally i rather enjoy it, especially when i’m in the mood for uproarious laughter. plus the songs are catchy.
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.
Some work in progress! Here some samples of the animatic I am working on, I love the song “I’ll never have that chance” which Elton John wrote for the musical of Lestat. If I ever finish it I am going to post it here :3
I really want to know your stance on the musical – I personally love the score, but think that the book and production value tore it apart.

For the anon who was asking about the musical, I’d also totally recommend another recording (it’s called “Drew Tatsel [COMBINED]” on youtube) which has the actor who played Armand taking over the role of Lestat. He doesn’t look the part as much, but I’d suggest it if only for the fact that it’s later in the run, and they have Lestat’s transformation scene (and some other things) down much better, some really awesome stuff :)
Thank u ^,….,^ Now I have to watch all 3 and compare. Why can’t they just put cameras in and film it professionally and sell the copies to ppl it would be so much better for everyone *siiiiigh*
