re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

There were rumours that it would soon after Broadway, but with that version being such an enormous flop, that plan died a death. I suppose that there's always a chance a translated version of the original production may open, but finances (it's a pretty lavish show, and the US show lost $millions), and the fact that the book-writer Michael Kunze has become very protective of his shows since DOTV means that it's unlikely....

I hope it does someday. But I think I would rather see the Vienna Version instead of the Broadway production.

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

I would love to see the Vienna production to open in London too - the Broadway production had hardly anything to do with the Vienna one.

Theres nothing in the works currently - i think if it were to ever been seen in London it would launch a small tour and then bring it pending on success - a producer would be mad to go stright to London with it now

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

I'd like to see an English version too - but I'm not sure how well it would do in London at the moment, what with all the Broadway stuff coming in. I saw Tanz in Hamburg shortly after it opened there and enjoyed it.

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

I saw it in Vienna in 1998.....it was wonderful, and recently got the complete cast recording from Germany (already had the hi-lights).
I believe it's still playing in Stuttgart........


opps, perhaps not, forgot it went to Hamburg

I'd like to see Wildhorn's DRACULA in London as well. I've heard DRACULA (cast recording out soon - yey!) and TANZ DER VAMPIRE (but only in German) and I'd like to be able to compare the two onstage.

"opps, perhaps not, forgot it went to Hamburg"
... and it closed in January this year after a two years run! There are strong rumours it will open in Berlin though at the end of the year.
I personally like this show much more than most of the musicals which are going to open in London this year!

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

I can't find a recording of TANZ anywhere here in the states and that really sucks cause I would buy it in a heartbeat. But an English recording would be nice to have though.

Maybe there'll be a tour, but it's only a rumour, that Tanz der Vampire will open in Berlin, because the Disney's Aida-Tour will have its Premiere this year in Berlin after the successless Production of "Die 3 Musketiere".

Unmasked, hope you'll enjoy the recording - The German and Austrian Productions were so great!

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

@Unmasked: Not really - They made for the Stuttgart Production a new song (instead of the instrumental song "Die roten Stiefel") and for the Hamburg Production some little text changes and a special snow effect at the beginning of the show, but on the whole, they're very similiar to each other.

Now it isn't just a rumour: "Tanz der Vampire" will have its premiere in Berlin in december(?) 2006 AFTER the tour stop of "Aida".

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

Excited, that it is finally announced officially after so many weeks of rumours!! Now I can plan my Berlin trips...
#17

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

The Berlin production will have sets scaled down for the theatre, some shortened songs, and two new songs by Jim Steinman, according to some sources. Also, "For Sarah" was moved to Act 1 in the Polish production, so it might still be there in this new production.

In short: This could be interesting.

re: Dance of The Vampires in London?

Well, I`ve seen TANZ DER VAMPIRE in Vienna since I`m Austrian anyway and I don`t live far away from Vienna.
All I can say is that I would die to watch the musical again somewhere in Europe.
I love it that much I would even go to London only to be part of the audience again!!!!
