Even "Buffy" switched from vampires to demons for her musical episode. Maybe it's impossible to hit the high notes with those fake fangs in your mouth?

Fangs for the memories. Will this musical ever see the light of day?

"The only thing distinguishing this musical from its late, unlamented predecessors is that the lead vampires play for the, er, other team," he said. "'Lestat's' contribution to art and equality is demonstrating that a gay vampire with a two-octave range can be just as dull as a straight one."Ooooh...that's gonna leave a mark.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical worked, after a fashion. The Broadway retreads just plain suck.
