I never thought the petition-makers would have the gumption to post here.
HA HA!!!!
I wonder when the Vipers will be featured in a blog or on the lestatlovers Yahoo group (go read if you're having a bad day; it'll cheer you up).

Despite the awful writing (and they idea that you can "petition" creative people to restore a show to the way that you the audience member wants it), I actually agree with what they're talking about. The SF version had problems, but at least it made sense for the most part. The NY version is a mess (and how you end a musical number without a song is beyond me)...
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around...

Wait, what? Now I'm curious. Please elaborate!

I thought "musical number" and "song" were synonyms.
And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."

"How you can end a musical number without a song is beyond me"
Obviously, I was drunk when I wrote this. What I meant to say was "how you can end a musical without a musical number is beyond me."
PS - I just read that sentence 4 times to make sure I got it right this time. Punchin' Out.

well, it's interesting that who ever has written the petition simply wants no other interpretations of the story presented. to them I say just go read the book again, you'll be happier, no one is going to revise anne rice's book, but yes when adaptations are made, things are re-interpreted etc.. i hated the movie the mists of avalon did i write a freaking petition that they should re-make it the way I wanted it, no, I simply went back to the book end enjoyed it the way I liked it.

I guess if we follow the logic of this petition, we could have gotten together and had Michelangelo clothe his characters on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel if we were around at that time. We could have also gotten da Vinci to paint a broader smile on his Mona Lisa and had Mozart create a piece of music less ominous for the opening of DON GIOVANNI.
Who the hell do we think we are if we can tell anyone involved in a creative process what they should or shouldn't do--unless they ask for our suggestions?
The people who are creating LESTAT are doing just that--creating.
It is not OUR show they are tinkering with. It's THEIRS. Therefore, MYOB.

Time spent talking about Lestat is time wasted.
Let it go. I give them until the end of April.
They never should have moved the show in the first place.

That petition was the stupidest waste of time I've ever spent. You have no right to demand certain changes be made to a show in the form of a petition. It's not our place. We can comment, sure, but to actually send tham a petition- please! Don't make me laugh! They'll make it a piece of crap, but there's nothing we can do about it. Come on!

OMG there are 44 signitures on it!! That is 43 more than I expected to see. Who are you people to make such demands? I'm going to make a petition striving to get everyone to stop signing the first one! Jeez!
Sorry if I sound a little pissy!

I can tell you for a fact that at least six of those 44 are NOT legit.

Every time you sign that petition, God kills a kitten and lets "Lestat" live for another day.

You can't make me talk!

Well, just think about the Carmello-Edelman kids and Jim Stanek's kids, and Hugh Panaro's pets, and your conscience will feel at ease.
