Remember, the last time we had a series of vampire shows, that was before Twilight, before Interview with the Vampire, before the whole girls-and-gays cultural moment that vampires have."
Totally agreed. I think this is going to be a smash and totally will reverse vampire sentiments on a way and become THE vampire musical of a generation. It’s expensive alright but think it has a shot at being a long-runner.

I think (barring any extraordinarily baked-in technical needs and stunts a la Back to the Future), this is part of the somewhat bonkers current theatrical licensing model: your Broadway run is never LIKELY to make you money, but is required as a very expensive advertisement for your show in touring and licensing. Nobody can gamble on their show being the next long-runner anymore, because those are so rare. It's all about the exposure and the legitimacy of a major stage production, to make people think your show is worth licensing over the next twenty years or so.

SiriusXM just played a song - without the title - on the Broadway Buzz. It is hard to tell the context - it was a pretty hard rock song. I think it was about telling someone to let them in and to join them. Out of context it wasn't a bad song. It didn't really grab me.
The song is to be released broadly tomorrow but Sirius has it now
