[OMG] Not a standing O, so much more like a standing [OOO]!! I brought a friend who is not a theater person, per se, and she was crying with tears of joy, understanding, and sadness about the vampires. I did wait at the door and, lordy, these kids cleaned up well for their big night. Susan looked like a goddess in her purple and gold. I. will. never. forget. it. And Hunter kissed me--I'm selling my cheek on ebay tomorrow.
The last vampire is the mother of all vampires and that is the vampire of despair. It'll wake you up at 4am to say things like:
Who do you think you are kidding?
You look like a fool!
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be good enough!
Why is it that if some dude walked up to me on the subway platform
and said these things, I'd think he was a mentally ill as-h-le,
but if the vampire inside my head says it,It's the voice of reason!
DIE VAMPIRE, DIE--[SUSAN in tos]
