I thought you might like to see this, as Jim mentioned it here and an "Interview with the Vampire" musical as well.
Quote:
Before "Dance of the Vampires" was hatched, Steinman was approached by producer Julia Phillips about a musical of "Interview With the Vampire."
"It was between me and the Bee Gees."
In the late '80s, the Nederlanders brought him in to work on a planned musical of "The Graduate" for which Robert Merrill ("Funny Girl") had already written a score.
"Bob was under the impression that I was hired as 'youth consultant,' and I was 39 years old at the time. He was horrified and rightfully so, and it just fell apart."
