The quality isn’t that hot but this here’s the entire show (pssst download them just in case they gets taken down!):
Opening night on Broadway, NYC, version:
San Francisco version:
I gotta watch the SF version bc I saw the NYC version and it was apparently stripped of alot of the awesome that the SF version had, sadly, and that’s one of the reasons ppl suggest for why it was so short-lived ;A;
UPDATE: @rookhart suggested I add this video “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 :)”
If anyone out there has a better quality vid, plz reblog and share w/ the class ^,….,^
Ya might also like my #Lestat the Musical tag, which has costume designs and fanart and stuff specific to the musical.
#Agreed. This reminds me especially of Lestat’s betrayal in Paris during the trial of Louis & Claudia ;A;
“Enclosed in this letter there’s a picture Black and white for your refrigerator Sticks and stones have made me smarter It’s words that cut me under my armor”
@i-want-my-iwtv Thought you and the rest of the fandom might want to see this, about 4/5 down from the new interview! Director Josh Boone basically just confirmed himself (instead of the other source I had earlier) that the new film WILL be an adaption of The Vampire Lestat, but will have tiny bits of influence from other books (I’m assuming he means IWTV and QTD). He also said he’s aiming for a trilogy AND a spin-off tv series! Super exciting!
Your synopsis was gr9, but I must have it from his own words (my highlights):
I trust this man. Why? It appear that he’s not rushing into it to make the $$$, he’s doing it bc he respects and has affection for the source material, dating back from his youth. “These were hugely inspiring books when I was young. They really helped shape me the same way [Stephen King]’s books did.”
He is totally in the VC fandom, an honorary member. He just may not know it yet ;]
LOOKIT THE WAY HE TAGGED UP THE STAND TO PREP IT FOR ADAPTATION THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FAN LOVIN’ [X]
^He’s gonna take care of us similarly ❤
Reasons (in no particular order) why I trust Josh Boone w/ this adaptation, from his IG account:
Hit the jump.
^Mentions the VC in his IG caption. It would appear that he’s honored to be part of it! Also he shares his icon pic w/ Stephen King, and really, Stephen King is also one of my faves for his amazing storytelling abilities, I mean, I just don’t even have words for what he does, but he seems to come from a similar place that AR did, they were both steeped in the horror media of their youth and he alchemizes through his own unique filter and GOLD COMES OUT. A different flavor of gold than AR’s, for sure, but they are comparable.
^He collects the old industry magazines, old publicity from the time period. He keeps himself updated on horror movie FX and topics so he’s not just gonna give us some shitty 90′s eye makeup, slap on a pair of fangs and a wierd accent and expect us to swoon. LIKE SOME MOVIES HAVE DONE.
^Like seriously he takes care of his books, and he has the nice hardcover editions.
Daddy/daughter sci fi movie night too cute. TOO CUTE. E.T. is worth 50+ viewings, absolutely.
Gonna restrain myself from suggesting he cast his adorable daughter as Claudia. But if he wanted to do it, I would certainly not stand in his way.
Even for me, it was such a gift to find the VC fandom action here! You’re right, this fandom is hard to find, for a reason: we had to hide from certain ppl for so long, since we apparently weren’t engaging w/ canon in an acceptable way. BUT WE’RE HERE NOW, times are different, we can all live and let live, ship and let ship, and coexist in peeeeace!
So I run the blog I would have wanted to find when I was first looking for the VC fandom ages ago, and I’m honored to provide it for you all now ❤
