| Art is subjective. I’m glad you had fun. I thought it was one of the worst musicals I’ve ever seen. Laura |

| What were they thinking? What a waste of talent. I think we were entertained by how bad it was, but I’m not sure. We try to forget it. |

| Let me preface that I have not seen DIANA. While LESTAT was dreadful, there were some good moments in the score (but, I think Carolee Carmello could make any tune sound better than it probably is). Also, they did make fairly major changes between the SF tryout and Broadway (I saw both). The changes did not help. On the fence about seeing DIANA in the theatre for schlock value alone so avoiding the Netflix recording until I decide. | |

| In 'Lestat,' it had to be Hugh | |

| Hugh Panaro had two terrific solos in ''Lestat.'' One was the soaring ''Sail Me Away,'' and it can be found on YouTube. The other was ''Right Before My Eyes,'' and Hugh beautifully reprised it at our ''Leading Men II'' concert for Broadway Cares. |

| Agreed on his performance. I just wish the material had been better. I actually preferred the SF version the ending was ridiculous but beautiful to look at. | |

| Two bits stay with me: The little girl singing More More More and Carolle Carmello in her Pirate outfit, or whatever it was, standing centre stage belting out some great song that made no sense. |

| "Dance of the Vampires" also set a standard for "So Bad It's Good" | |

| though some of the songs in it were very good. The staging, direction and performances and some of the lyrics -- pure camp. | |

| Alas, no. My claim to flops, stuck here in LA where we specialize in flop tv and movies, include ODYSSEY, THE BAKER’S WIFE (when Patti had just joined!), and just before the lockdown, the allegedly revised ROCKABYE HAMLET, now HAMLET: THE ROCK MUSICAL. The audience consisted largely of cast members’s relatives, so my daughter and I were trying hard to smother our guffaws. Laura |
