This is still one of my favorite musical theater moments. Drew Sarich was such an epic Armand. Very dissimilar from the Armand in the book, yes, but God did I love him.
I'm back again. That kiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍 The best kiss scene EVER! I absolutely love Hugh and Drew. They are gorgeous and freaking talented. Right Before My Eyes and After All This Time are my fav songs in the play. I want Lestat to come back to the stage! ❤
A flawed musical that doesn't always hold attention like one would assume such a story ought, but no-one can deny the intensity of the climactic turn in this scene at, "his crime..." The crescending motif, the way Lestat ostensibly moves to placate, then merely laughs in cold satisfaction in Armand's face...chills.
I am one of the incredibly lucky people to have seen this show on Broadway a mere two days before it closed. I saw it having been a fan of the book and also of Hugh Panaro who played The Phantom in the first Broadway show I’d ever seen. It was with maniacal irony that the performance of Lestat that I saw was the one where his role was played by Drew Sarich (Armand). He was incredible and blew the roof off the place. I loved the show and him. I love this performance for that reason.
I found this video a few days ago and I absolutely fell in love it it, I mean Drew’s Voice! That kiss! Drew’s acting! The ending of the video! I didn’t see that coming, I watched the musical and I liked it, this is my favorite song in the whole musical.
Ahahaha I can't believe they made this into a musical!! I mean it's actually very fitting considering the books, but to see it is kinda funny lol. This is actually kinda good and now I wanna see the whole thing. I LOVE LESTAT!!!
MadameMooney I agree completely with your comment :D I really don't mind the hair myself: auburn can be very close to brown and the stage lights, well... at least I tell myself that, hah. I love Drew as Armand: his voice has a youthful touch to it that goes perfectly with the character, and his spite during the song is amazing.
I agree. This was the best kiss scene. The whole musical was close to the book, unlike Queen of the damned, they only changed a little. Mostly the end and the part with Marius.
That would not surprise me I guess. I sure looks very comfortable in these scenes, which is great. On the other hand, so does Drew (which makes me love him even more than I already do) and he is married. Well, whatever team they like, they are made of awesome. The chemistry they got in the show seems to make the temperature rise whenever I watch this. :P--
Oh, stop picking on Amadeo Lestat, it's not nice, he's far too dramatic. Taunting him with Marius was mean, but funny. I love this song, and the personification of Armand is beautifully done! I want to see this musical so badly!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh esse beijo!!!! Drew é sexy demais! O beijo fez até barulho! O Hugh nem tenho palavras... lindo demais! Eu queria estar no meio dos dois na hora do beijo! Pena que não pude ver esse musical ao vivo porque infelizmente no país onde nasci eles nem sabem o que é Lestat.
@Rocco3290 They're talking about Marius, Armand's creator. All that Lestat says is what Marius said to him about Armand (in the musical, at least. Because in the books Marius loves Armand very deeply, and it's him the one who resist to come back)
@dragonofthedarknight Anne Rice's characters may be bisexual in nature but as they can't actually have intercourse, their romantic relationships with others are much deeper and more profound.
I just love how comfortable those two seem to be about it. Some with the Devil's Road scene and that was even hotter. I know Drew is married but does anyone know which team Hugh plays for?
I like this alot but the one thing that bothers me is Armand does not look like that.. He is a 17 year only auburn curly haired vampire not some dark haired mysterious looking guy
call me slow but why did no one tell me about this? i read interview with the vampire when i was ten and im just now finding out there's a damn musical.
I can't say I've followed many incarnations of VC spinoffs/outside projects, so could someone inform me why this Armand has dark brown/black hair in this incarnation? Is it part of his character for this play or was it a choice from the directors/designers?
@XPhile10131121 True, but in all that i've seen, they never make him young, always older, when he's pretty young, in his teens as far as looks go in the series. I guess it's so people don't drool over a 16 year old.
+Eric Pfeiffer Someone once told me its available on Itunes however I can't validate that as I don't have an itunes account. Only thing I know is on here. Good luck!
