| I saw Dance of the Vampires and Amour in the same weekend. The problem with Dance of the Vampires was that they made the mistake of making the vampire comic and the vampire hunter serious, instead of the other way around. If they had kept it more like the original it would have worked. But I guess Crawford wanted the laughs, and it felt like he really wanted to distance himself from Phantom. I still love the album of the German cast and wish that the Broadway version had been recorded. I think it would have been a sleeper hit -- for all the show's flaws, the music sounded great. So glad I got to see Crawford in a musical. And the rest of the cast was SO good. I can still remember Mandy Gonzalez and Max Von Essen singing "Braver Than We Are." So good. Amour was lovely -- it should have stayed open longer. The worst musical I ever saw was the first preview of "In My Life," and I would not trade that experience for anything. Simply epic!
