Happy to give this the benefit of doubt, and I look forward to it -- but after Dance of the Vampires, Dracula The Musical and Lestat -- the odds on vampire musicals aren't exactly in their favor!

I don't believe that anything he's helped develop has yet been produced- with the exception of the Jefferson Mays Christmas Carol, though one could argue that wasn't "original."
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

He’s directing The Preacher’s Wife at Alliance this season, and is also directing that Queen of Versailles project, so he’s definitely starting to get more “original” work
I absolutely agree. I would be intrigued and impressed if we hadn’t already seen this idea before!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Hmm songs it going to be a horror comedy? Interesting stars listed fir the reading in the Playbill article: "Caissie Levy, Lorna Courtney, Nathan Levy Will Star in Lost Boys Musical Workshop"
I seem to remember in the the movie all the leads were male characters??

Exactly, vampire musicals flop super hard.
Listen, I don't take my clothes off for anyone, even if it is "artistic". - JANICE

Dianne Wiest played the mother, and Jamie Gertz was the female vampire, which I'm assuming are Caissie and Lorna's roles.
"Caissie Levy will play Lucy Emerson, the recently divorced mom who unwittingly moves herself and two sons to a vampire-infested California beach town. The younger son is Sam, to be played by Nathan Levy. Courtney will portray Star, the beautiful girl who catches the eye of older son Micheal (no casting announced yet) and a maybe an undead boy or two.
In the film, Lucy was played by Dianne Wiest, Sam by Corey Haim and Star by Jami Gertz."
