No! Not that kind of does!
Now that Buffy is heading into retirement, the time is right for some singing vampires to hit the stage.At least that's what Elton John seems to be thinking, announcing Tuesday that he has decided to sink his teeth into a new blood-sucking Broadway musical.
The singer and his longtime songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, will pen music and lyrics for The Vampire Lestat, a brand-new musical based on the bestselling Anne Rice novels about the undead prince turned rock star slated for a 2005 Broadway debut.
The musical will chronicle the adventures of Lestat and will draw on characters and events from all three of Rice's bestselling novels: Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned and The Vampire Lestat.
Read it all -- if you dare!

Posted by: John B on May 7, 2003 9:54 AMI know this has absolutely nothing to do w/ this post, but I'm just responding to a comment you left at my site earlier. =) I can't believe you got to go to North Carolina, that's like a dream vacay of mine right now! Well that, London and New Zeland. =) Going to Tulsa huh? That sounds like fun. The problem for me is I really have no way of going cross-country because Missouri (especially Kansas City) is like right smack dab in the middle of the country so it's one way or the other, or a big loop. Well I need to go to bed now 'cause it's like 2 a.m. now. =)
