Broadway.com Lestat video diaries

Has anyone been watching the video diaries about retooling Lestat on Broadway.com? I think they are really interesting and I am actually getting very excited for this show. I really like the set designer diary. His work was amazing!

Also did anyone see the book writer alking about how she would be an imortal and kill everyday to survive if she could? That woman really creeped me out!

Do any of these video diaries feature Carolee? I don't want to watch them all just to find she's not in any of them.

She better be!

Playbill.com is also doing a great job providing new videos on a constant basis featuring cast and creative.

If you're intrigued by the show, definitely take a look!

Linda Woolverton freaks me out.

If you think the blog is boring, wait until you see the show. A real snoozefest!

Not as fresh? The show isn't even on Broadway yet LOL

And they have 6 interviews to Broadway.com's 8 - I'd hardly call that "nowhere near as frequent"

To each their own. If someone is interested in the show, they'll enjoy any and everything they can watch, see pictures of and read with any biases aside.

I also like that the production team is aware of the faults of the show, and seem to be trying to fix them.

Amount of coverage is amount of coverage. I wasn't talking about dates. It's neither here nor there. And I certainly wasn't pointing out nor trying to foster any tone of competition. Certainly other posters here seem to be implying that - but not me.

I was merely pointing out that for fans of the show - there are TWO places they can go.

Al - as you and everyone should know - the internet doesn't work like, for example, the retail market. If a visitor visits this site, playbill.com, broadway.com or theatermania (and any other site you care to fill in the blank) that doesn't prevent them at all from going to the other sites. If I bought a pair of jeans at the GAP, walking down the street I would probably not go into Banana Republic to buy jeans if I already had them. If someone likes lestat, wicked, rent or whatever and they want to see photos, interviews, videos, etc they will go to any and all places that have information about them.

I know you're smart enough to know this already. As I said - to each their own. You can prefer one set of videos over another. But there's no harm in informing people that both exist.

It is intersting that on both threads that I mentioned the playbill.com videos that a similar reaction was caused. Seems to me like there are other people who are considering this competitive. Not I :)

I agree there's room for us all and have never implied or stated otherwise - have I? It is extremely silly!

Dirty Rotten Guy, I agree it was interesting but I wanted them to show the some sketches or the costumes from previews etc.

They just posted another Panaro diary. It's the best one so far in my opinion. Jim Stanek cracks me up :)

It's great to see Jim in his natural bubbly mode, in the show he very distressed and depressed.

I really hope other shows follow suit and do blogs like this. Can you imagine if the Sweeney revival had done this? It would have been facinating.

Gah...I want to ask him if he'll marry me. Those dimples are too much!

Seriously folks, that last diary was really funny. I couldn't get it to load all the way at first but when I got through it was well worth it. :)
