DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES

I wish this show was still on Broadway with the "original" script. Read the sypnosis on that page you were at it's very detailed.
There was never a cast recording made but I wish they had.....the only recordings the Vienna Cast Recording and I think a German recording.
The Vienna Cast Recording has Steve Barton as Count Krolock...Steve was the original Raul from POTO...Michael Crawford was the Broadway Krolock and he was the original Phantom.

I LOVED THIS SHOW!!

I really loved this show. I think the sets, costumes, lighting, etc. were all state of the art incredible. It should have swept the design categories at the Tonys, had it lasted long enough.

Without Michael Crawford, the show would have been better. I love the music and I really really loved this show.

P.S.
Julia Murney worked with Steinman again on the CD for The Confidence Man - released in 2003 for Equity Fights AIDS / Broadway Cares. Ironically, several melodies were recycled for Dance of the Vampires... TCM is a lot older (has been around since the 70s)

It previewed longer than it ran, I believe, at the Minskoff Theatre.

You can find all this information you ask for on www.ibdb.com

Take a look at this, too.

But be patient if you're on dialup.

And turn your speakers down.

WAY DOWN.

There is no London cast recording -- there was no London production.

Thank you Lizzie! Wow! Am I a ghost or something?
That's three times now

Three times what? That the OP doesn't pay attention to you?

I loved the Broadway DOTV and have no complaints about the performances. It was a visually stunning, exciting, funny, and moving show, and it has a lot of fans on this site. Some Steinman fans have eternal axes to grind, and that's who you are most likely to hear from, RentBoy. The fans of the Broadway show are tired of arguing about it, they went through hell 2 years ago, and now just keep their memories close.

The show had it's problems, and there is a lot of mythology about it, growing into legend far beyond what actually happened on or off stage. There are a million opinions on what could have been done to improve it, but ultimately it was the show it was, and was enjoyed by a number of people even while being savaged by a bunch of others. Conventional wisdom is that it was an utter flop (it was financially) and that it's participants have to somehow live down having been involved. I don't believe they do.

like I said, there are some songs in English from the demo that was put together for the Broadway run but that's it... it has ten English tracks and two German tracks. the songs are

1. The Nightmare
2. Total Eclipse of the Heart
3. The Insatiable Greed
4. For Sarah
5. Is Nothing Sacred Anymore?
6. Make Us Braver Than We Are
7. Come With Me
8. Hey, Ho, Professor
9. Time Now To Feed
10. Knoblauch (Garlic)
11. Tot Zu Sein Ist Komisch (Death is Such an Odd Thing)
12. Dance of the Vampires
