Yay.

I wonder if they'll have an Akasha character.

I'm still dying to know if Akasha will be in this.

Because they said it will have parts of QUEEN OF THE DAMNED in it. And she's a prime character in that book.

Where's Deven May?! Someone posted that his London Bat Boy bio said he was going to be in Lestat.

Carolee is pretty! Hugh is HOT!

I've said it a million times before, I will have a hard time buying Hugh as Lestat!

Ljay889, I don't know that they will dwell on Akasha in the show, maybe they will just mention her as the Vampire mother if you will. QUEEN OF THE DAMNED was my favourite book in the series, too bad the film sucked the big Italian one!

I'm thrilled about this production, I hope the score will be amazing. The story itself is so dramatic and perfect for a Broadway show.

The film was indeed poo-poo. But Aaliyah was the best part, the last saving grace. I wish she had more to do in it though. I'm a big Aaliyah fan, so she was the only part that made the film worth while for me.

Really? She wasn't at all how I saw Akasha in my head while reading the book. Her accent she used in the film killed me too, not like that is her fault though. I was SO looking forward to that film when it came out but left so dissapointed by it.

[ljay889]

Well a lot of her lines still had to be dubbed. So since she passed, they had to have her brother dub them..

I thought she was fantastic in ROMEO MUST DIE, where she really gets a juicy part.

So happy Hugh gets to create another leading role! He has an incredible voice!

That Allison Fischer girl is amazingly gorgeous. Has anyone seen her in anything?

Cast looks great and so happy to have Jack Noseworthy back on Broadway!

[Unknown User]

Posted: 8/23/05 at 8:24pm

That's got to be the ugliest cast I've seen in decades. Not a good looking person for miles! Hell, I'd wanna get bitten.

[AlienOnBroadway]

Posted: 8/23/05 at 8:25pm

I totally agree with you BoxFive. I love Jack Noseworthy! I am looking forward to this show for sure now!

OK --- Did anyone read the book? This cast is great but they all look 20-30 years too old!
