Lestat the musical

Lestat is a Broadway musical inspired by Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.

This was the first theatrical score from the legendary songwriting team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Book by Linda Woolverton, and was directed by Robert Jess Roth with musical staging by Matt West.

The Broadway production opened on April 25, 2006 in the Palace Theater and closed on May 28, 2006.

The show was directed by Robert Jess Roth, who was a Tony Award nominee for his Broadway directorial debut for Beauty and the Beast. The title role of Lestat was played by Hugh Panaro, and starred Carolee Carmello as Gabrielle, Drew Sarich as Armand, Jim Stanek as Louis, Roderick Hill as Nicolas, Michael Genet as Marius, and Allison Fischer as Claudia. Jack Noseworthy was originally cast as Armand, but left the production during its first week of previews, and Sarich was moved up to the role. Sarich played the title role for two performances the day before the production's run in New York came to an end, when Panaro was out sick.

Scenic design by Derek McLane, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Jonathan Deans, visual concept design by Dave McKean, and hair design by Tom Watson.

Production History:
The Pre-Broadway version of the Lestat musical was extremely different from the New York version of the Lestat musical. Even though it was the highest earning pre-Broadway play in San Francisco history (beating out Wicked and Cats) the company drastically revised the play. The San Francisco version, performed at the city's historic Curran Theater during the final months of 2005 and early 2006, had far more elaborate stage effects and production values and included projected images illustrating the main character, Lestat's, story.

The Broadway version of Lestat was more interpretive, and used less projections. it also cut quite a few plot elements from San Francisco. The song "Right Before My Eyes" was inserted, "In Paris", a duet sung by Nicolas and Lestat was cut, and "In Paris" was expanded to when Lestat first arrives in Paris and sees Nicolas' work at the theater, the number was called "In Paris Sequence". Gabrielle's solo "Nothing Here" was changed to "Beautiful Boy"; and the play-within-a-play in the Vampire theater, was changed from the number "Origin of the Species", which explaned the legend of King Enkil and Queen Akasha, to "Morality Play", which was about Armand and Marius' relationship, and completely scrapped any references to Queen of the Dammed, including, later in previews, cutting Queen Akasha and King Enkil from the show completely. This version was played in mid-2006 at the Palace Theater.

In 2009, Stage Hands Performing Arts, a small, amateur production company will be hosting a workshop of Lestat in Durham, North Carolina. The workshop consists of mainly San Francisco material, and using more elements from the Anne Rice books. Other notable differences in the workshop include Armand and Marius being played by females and the song "Right Before My Eyes" lyrics have been changed to have Louis and Nicolas sing about their feelings for Lestat. A condensed version of "Origin of the Species" is being used instead of "Morality Play". The material is said to suit audience less familiar with Lestat and The Vampire Chronicles.

Act I
Lestat kills a pack of wolves although his father has forbidden him to. Lestat's parents argue and to defend his mother, he strikes his father. Gabrielle (Lestat's mother) convinces Lestat to go to Paris to live with his friend Nicolas. Lestat doesn't want to abandon her, but he ends up going. She thinks of how lonely her life will be without him, although she is happy he is free ("My Beautiful Boy&quot.

Lestat finds Nicolas working as an actor in a small theater, happy with his life ("In Paris&quot. Nicolas is a violinist and tells Lestat he has been disowned after leaving school to study music. They go to Nicolas' flat and it becomes clear they're in love with each other ("The Bugs and the Bears&quot. An offstage voice keeps calling "wolfkiller". Intrigued because Nicolas can't hear it, Lestat follows the voice and is attacked by a vampire named Magnus. Magnus makes Lestat a vampire and informs Lestat that nothing can end his life except fire or the sun. He then lights a fire and makes Lestat promise to scatter his ashes when he's dead. Magnus dies, leaving Lestat very confused about his new nature ("The Thirst&quot. Unable to control himself, Lestat takes his first victim and yells at God for not stopping him.

In Nicolas's room, Gabrielle, obviously sick, tells Nicolas that he should not worry about Lestat; she is certain he will return. After giving Nicolas the name of her hotel and asking him to take care of Lestat, she leaves. On the street she passes by Lestat, who hides from her. Lestat looks through Nicolas's window, struggling against his desire to make him a vampire ("Right Before My Eyes&quot.

Lestat visits his mother and confesses that he is a vampire. He makes his mother a vampire to save her life ("Make Me As You Are&quot. The Dark Gift allows Gabrielle to be free from the customs and morals of her time and finally be herself. Gabrielle and Lestat go inside a church. A man dressed as a monk, with his face hidden, follows them and introduces himself as the vampire Armand. He insists that Lestat and Gabrielle must come with him. They follow him to a graveyard, home to a group of satanist vampires that Armand leads. Armand announces that Lestat and Gabrielle are blasphemous and should be destroyed. Lestat reveals that Armand has deceived his followers and that they don't really serve The Devil ("The Dark Laws / To Live Like This&quot. Lestat and Gabrielle encourage the coven to live among mortals, and they create a troupe of actors that performs vampiric plays.

As Lestat and Gabrielle watch the former satanists go, they hear Armand say, "I like your violinist." They turn to see that Armand has Nicolas as a hostage. Armand plays with Lestat, first by pretending he's going to kill Nicolas, then asking why Lestat didn't turn him into a vampire. Laughing, he throws Nicolas to Lestat and leaves. Nicolas tells Lestat that he wants them to be together forever. Lestat finally gives in and transforms him. The new vampire simply sits on the floor in a catatonic state. As Lestat desperately calls his name, trying to get a reaction, the scene shifts to the first performance of Armand's ex-followers as actors.

Their play is an interpretive dance version of "The Vampire Armand" and tells the story of Armand and Marius ("Morality Play&quot. Lestat and Gabrielle compliment the play. The still-catatonic Nicolas will not move, except to play the violin. Armand enters the theater's backstage and Lestat asks why Nicolas is like that. Armand says the Dark Gift is unpredictable. Lestat asks if Marius is real, and if his ancient blood could heal Nicki. Armand reveals Marius was his maker, but he believes Marius is dead. Lestat decides to look for him to heal Nicolas. Lestat and Gabrielle take Nicolas through Europe searching for Marius.

Ten years pass. Armand tries to seduce Lestat, who almost surrenders but ends up beating Armand and ordering him to disappear from his life. Armand returns to Paris. Gabrielle enters, talking of a wonderful wild place she had been exploring. Lestat angrily asks why had she taken so long to return. Gabrielle talks of the wonders of the world and everything she wants to do. Although she will miss Lestat, she has no interest in trying to cure Nicolas ("Crimson Kiss&quot. Gabrielle and Lestat kiss, and she leaves. Lestat asks Nicolas to play the violin. Instead of playing, Nicki speaks for the first time since he was transformed: "Release me." Desperate, Lestat agrees to light a fire. He scatters Nicki's ashes, crying ("Right Before My Eyes" (reprise)). A sudden light makes him look up. A figure has appeared on the sky and is coming down to talk to Lestat. Marius yells "COME!"

Act II
Marius claims that he could not have saved Nicolas; Nicolas made his own choice. Angry and sad, Lestat asks what the meaning of their lives is. Marius says he cannot teach what a lifetime can and that Lestat should go to America, be the first vampire there, and start a new life. Lestat begs Marius not to leave, for he cannot stand the loneliness. The ancient vampire replies, "then you'll make others," and instructs Lestat to choose his fledglings carefully. He feels he made a mistake transforming Armand. He says, "Armand is empty. He cannot feel or love."

Lestat follows Marius's advice and goes to the New World, where he meets and falls for a young self-destructive creole, Louis ("Welcome to The New World&quot. Lestat offers him The Dark Gift. Louis agrees, and Lestat makes him a vampire. Time passes, and Louis and Lestat live in a beautiful town house. Lestat arrives, telling a funny story from the opera, but Louis interrupts with a lot of moral questions. Lestat, tired of this discussion, tries once again to make his partner embrace the vampiric nature ("Embrace It&quot. Louis says he's leaving. Lestat takes a walk and finds a sick little orphan girl who asks him for help. He makes her a vampire and takes her home. Louis is horrified, but agrees to stay and raise Claudia with him.

Time passes. In Claudia's bedroom, she is beautifully dressed and surrounded by dolls, for which she doesn't seem to care. Transformed at such a young age, she doesn't understand "human nature" and her craving for blood is bigger than those of the other vampires ("I Want More&quot. Claudia realizes that she'll never grow to be a woman and begins to ask questions. At a ball, after being treated as a child by younger people, Claudia mourns the adult life she'll never have ("I'll Never Have That Chance&quot. Lestat overhears and leaves guiltily. Later he asks where Louis is, and Claudia says she has asked Louis to give them some time alone. Awkwardly, he starts to apologize for not understanding her grief, but she interrupts and says she's sorry for giving him so much trouble. She says she has a present for him, and shows the unconscious body of a woman. Lestat bites the woman and falls on the floor, weak. Claudia has poisoned him, not knowing it is impossible to kill a vampire this way. Furious, she grabs a knife and starts cutting Lestat. Afraid of what Lestat might do to Claudia, Louis tells her there's only one way he can die, and Louis sets the house on fire. He and Claudia flee as Lestat tries to escape the flames.

Later, Lestat is on a ship. He is wounded and thinks of what his life has become ("Sail Me Away&quot. Once in Europe, Lestat goes to the Theater of the Vampires. He asks Armand for some of his blood to help him heal. Armand agrees but insists that first they watch the final scene of the play that the vampires are performing. Lestat is shocked to see Louis and Claudia on the stage. Armand says they had been there for over a year and refused to talk of their maker. After the play, Armand grabs Claudia and asks Lestat if that was the one who tried to kill him. Lestat tries to justify her act, but Armand and the others kill her ("To Kill Your Kind&quot.

When night falls, Louis mourns Claudia and leaves Lestat ("Embrace It" (reprise)). Lestat asks Armand why he killed Claudia. Armand gives him an ironic smile, talks of the sweetness of vengeance, and mockingly kisses him ("After All This Time&quot. Armand turns to leave, but Lestat confesses that he found Marius, and repeats all that Marius said about Armand. Furious, Armand accuses Lestat of being a liar, says Marius loved him and throws Lestat from the roof. Lestat's legs are broken. The dawn approaches, and he can't stand. Once again, he talks to God, asking what He wants from him, and saying that he accepts what he is, that he's evil and that he's sorry. Lestat prepares to be burned by the sun ("Sail Me Away" (reprise)), but Marius arrives with Gabrielle, and they insist that he can stand. With a lot of effort and pain, he does ("Crimson Kiss" (reprise)). Marius allows Lestat to drink from his wrist. The light goes off. Lestat appears, dressed modern clothes, and says "I am the Vampire Lestat, and I will live forever."

I would like to introduce The Vampire Chronicles. What is it? Its a world, ours, with the original novelist... Anne Rice. The vampires, are sexy, seductive, and cant go into the sun. Watch Interview of the Vampire, and Queen of the Damned, then google vampire chronicles, and youll thank me for giving the key into a REAL vampire novel, or two, or three, and so on.

Queen of the damned script

(Lestat???s Crypt)

Crypts fade in, Full of tomb stones, and Lestat???s sarcophagus is shown.


Lestat (IV There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, Rots till solitarily hallow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, till you realize your going to spend it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping the sounds of the passing years would fade out and a sorta death might happen, but as I lay there, the world didn???t sound like the place I had left, but something different, better.


A band begins to play, a music so hypnotic, it has arisen Lestat.


Lestat (IV It became worth while to rise again as new gods were born and worshipped. Night and day they were never alone, I would become one of them. Weather it was that first meal or the hundred years of rest, I???m not sure, but suddenly I was feeling better than ever, my senses so high, It lead me straight to the instrument of my resurrection, playing in my old house.


Carrying a violin, Lestat makes his way to the public to feed, camera comes to close up on his face, as you notice the blood pouring down his mouth, and his flesh restored. Making his way to his old house.


(Lestat???s Old House)


Sounding like a choir his voice arises over the music, but his appearance rather frightens, the band a little. Scared, they begin to ask questions.

Focusing on the TV, as MTV is played.


Serena Altschul (MTV): Hi I???m Serena Altschul with MTV news, Vampire turned rocker Lestat, has returned with a new CD called Forsaken. Although his band hales from New Orleans, Lestat himself claims to be an eighteenth century french nobleman, who has been asleep for over a hundred years, here???s a sneak look at the new video the third single off the monster debut album, Redeemer.


(Redeemer is Played)


Jesse looks up from her coffee and papers to feel like something seemed familiar, from the TV set.


(Talamasca: Center for Paranormal Studies, London )


Jesse: Like everyone else I assumed Lestat was a joke, a rock star with a gimmick. But than one the phrases in one of his lyrics caught my attention, Take a walk down the aisle at the end of the mile, give your life to my charms in the Admirals Arms. That rang a bell. I tracked down old leases in London. It turns out in the late sixteen hundreds there was a pub in the backstreet???s of Milan called the Admirals Arms, and it had a reputation for dealing with black magic, and reports people being lured there and vanishing, Now here is where you can find the Admirals Arms in old London, that part of London is mostly old warehouses, meat packing plants, and a private club in the same location, I think that it???s a vampire coven, and Lestat is leading us to it.


Talamasca Women: Who took this picture?


Jesse: I did


Talamasca Women: Your still an apprentice you don???t do field work.


Talamasca Man: Jesse the Talamasca has a code.


Jesse: I know, observe the dark realm but be not of it.


Talamasca Man: Well it???s held good for twelve centuries, we record and observe, but never interfere.


Jesse: I had to see it for myself.

Talamasca man: Is David aware of this?

David appears, not looking to happy and a little surprised.


David: Jesse


Jesse: Hello David, I was just explaining to.....


David: Why don???t you come and see me in my office.


Entering into David???s office, Jesse begins to speak as she throws her bag in the chair.


Jesse: This is a real vampire coven David and it???s right in the middle of London.


David: All the more reason to have told me first. Listen Jesse, we know about Lestat, what he???s doing is unprecedented.


Jesse: So why is he doing it? I mean aren???t you curious, don???t you think, we should find out?


David: Come here let me show you something.


As he goes through paintings.


David:What do you see?


Jesse: Mid fifteen hundreds, Florence.


David: This one


Jesse: This man is in both.


David: Yes, all the different paint samples, all authentic, each one painted at the time of there particular style. His name is Marius. I???ve been tracing him for years, My little obsession, the closes we???ve come to the original vampire. Marius himself dates back to four hundred B.C.


Jesse: So he???s older than Lestat.


David: He made Lestat


Jesse: How do you know that.


David: Because I have Lestat???s journal.


Jesse: I want to see it.


David: Promise me you???ll never go back to that place.


(Lestat???s Journal Flashback)


Jesse Sits down to start reading Lestats journal.


Jesse: Je Suis le Vampire Lestat.


Appearing to look like a massive and beautiful castle, surrounded by water, and the skies appear dark blue, and lighting begins to flash.


Lestat (IV It was the winter of 1788, And I was brought to a Mediterranean Island by the man who made me, if a man is what you???d call him.


Bedroom scene, as Lestat has been placed on the bed. Awakening, his neck bleeding. Lestat looks around, wondering where he is, noticing the painting that was done of him. And from the shadows of the balcony, A man appears.


Marius: Lestat, Welcome


Lestat: Who are you, do I know you.


Marius: I am unknowable by nature but you may call me Marius.


Lestat: I???m the lord of a great man, they???ll send an army of men to look for me.


Marius: I doubt they???ll find you Lord De Lioncourt, Your long way from home.


Marius flies towards Lestat biting him on the neck, draining him, as he drops Lestat to the floor, and kneeling over him.


Marius:Your weak.... Near passing, I can barely hear your heart beat. The future hastens and age beyond my antique reason, you will help me understand these times. That???s why I choose you.


Lestat: Choose me for what?


Cutting open his wrist, Marius brings down his arm towards Lestat???s mouth.


Marius: Drink, and live. You???ve been brave enough for one night my son.

Lestat taking his wrist towards his mouth.


Mariusrink, and learn, good is it not. No more, No more Lestat, NO MORE.


Marius, begins to get light headed and his eyes begin to roll back. As he gets up from Lestat rather harshly.


Mariuson???t be afraid it???s only your body that dies.


Lestat???s body begins to die, and he feels acks in his stomach as he violently moves around on the ground, And as his body stops trembling, he rises his chest and pops up, revealing his new pasty look and fangs.


Lestat: MORE


(Beach Scene)


Lestat (IV I impressed my maker, with my thirst for things, he set out to educate me in the unknown, taught me all about the world, it???s hidden history, and about myself.


Lestat feeding from his first victim, as Marius watches and advises. Giving Lestat first time instruction.


Marius: That???s enough my son, When you feed you must hold back from the moment till death, you must never take the last drop or it will draw you in and you will die. I appreciate your prey. There blooded take into us, carries with it life, there life, there knowledge, there complexity.


Lestat (IV My senses run amok, Like a new born child, as for my new powers, I was beside myself with the pleasure of it all.


Walking right in the middle of a Gypsy bon-fire, Lestat and Marius pass to leave.


Marius: Come on we???ve stayed long enough.


Lestat: Ah, but we???ve spoken to no one.


Marius: A vampires life is a life of discretion.


Lestat: Discretion! Why must we hide Marius, we are the powerful we are the immortal. We should walk fearless in the open, No?


As they pass a Gypsy girl and her father, Lestat seems entranced by her, as they played there violin???s with ease.


Marius: That cannot be, we???ve only vulnerable in the day. Mortals must never know about us. For the sake of all our kind.


Lestat: What so I could never know her.


Marius: Not unless you wanted to kill her.


Lestat: So I could never be known.


Marius: You must be dead to the world. Come on, time to leave.


But of course our little brat prince doesn???t like that idea, so he goes up to them and grabs the spare violin and begins to play with them. Coming down on the strings hard and fast but he went faster, and soon his immortal eyes were glowing yellow, scaring the father, forcing him and his daughter to try and escape.


Gypsy Father: Sophera, run, go.


Marius: Lestat, Stop her, you must


Grabbing the father, and sinking his fangs into him, Lestat meanwhile catches up with the girl and breaks her neck. Sickened, by what he had done and feeling ever so sorry.


Marius:We must remain in the shadows, you still have a few lingering molt of emotions, they all serve you no good my friend.


Marius throws there bodies on a pile of sticks and burns there bodies.


Lestat: Forgive me.


(Marius Home)


Lestat began to play the violin, hoping to take his mind off of things.


Lestat (IV The faces of my victims haunted me. Reminding me of my fate. For nights and days I played, furious that I would never again par-take of the simple joys of the world. I was meant for more than this.


As the bow he was playing with flies out of his hand and under a stone stand, he goes to grab it wondering what was placed on the floor, scrapping it with his hand releasing the button, and twisting it to open a secret door, he enters.


(Secret Passage)


Lestat: Marius


As the halls light up from torches.


Lestat: Marius


He makes way to a large door which wooden seal breaks by itself, as he enters to find two stone figures one male and one female.


Akasha (IV My son


Lestat: Would you like me to play for you?


Lestat begins to wail on the violin, and as he does that Akasha???s stone arm begins to move, turning it???s self over, as a offering to him. Lestat excepts as he bites down, his eyes filling with blood as he is presented with images of Akasha, when she was alive and ruled. Falling to the floor, Marius senses something and goes to investigate, leaving his paintings outside, he creeps up on Lestat, While thinking to himself.


Marius: What have you done, Lestat?


(Marius Bedroom)


Lestat tied down to the bed, his body begins to move upward.


Lestat: More


Marius: I don???t think so my Lord.


Lestat: Let me go


Marius: No, you???ve drunk the purest of blood, in the oldest of things. Far to much for as one as young as you.


Lestat: Her blood is like a liquid fire.... Who is she?


Marius: She is your mother, She is my mother, Akasha, The queen of all who are damned. And he is her king, Akasha and Enkil nearly drank this earth dry when they ruled over Egypt. They drank till Enkil lost his will to drink. Without her mate beside her she also lost hers. They became living statues. She has no respect for anything, except for the taste of blood, human and immortal alike.


Lestat: No, release me.


Lestat breaks the ropes, as Lestat pulls his arm back in place to tie it down once again.


Marius: She made you quite powerful.


Lestat: You???ll not stop me.


Marius: I can hear her blood in your voice. In all the years I have cared for them not once have they moved.


Lestat: Until tonight, and she choose me.


Marius: I choose you.


Lestat: Where are you going? Marius......


Awakening, Lestat is free, and roams the halls in search for life or something like it. But can not find nothing.


Lestat: Marius


Screaming for Marius, he goes to down the secret passage noticing the statues of Akasha and Enkil are gone, along with Marius himself.


Lestat:Marius


Angered that his teacher left him he picks up a vase and throws it, as you can here it smash in the background.


Lestat:Marius


Lestat (IV Many times since I have called to Marius. But there was no answer. Just the endless precession of days, months..... Years. My teacher left me to my darkest lesson. That in the end we???re alone. And there is nothing but the cold dark wasteland of eternity.


Jesse (IV David thought the journal would satisfy my curiosity. But it only made me want to know more. I had to go back to the Admirals Arms. I had no choice.


(Vampire Bar)


Jesse walking down and alley, she notices vampires going into the bar, making herself appear as if she were a part of there group, and sneaking in.


Man In Bar: This is a fantastic place. I love it. You sure you want nothing to drink.


Bald Female Vamp: Soon


As Jesse looks around to see a vampire band performing and two beautiful vampire woman feeding on a man, she gets frightened a backs into the front of the bar table.


Vampire 1: Hi


Jesse: Hi


Vampire 1: Come here often.

Jesse: All the time.

Vampire 1: I don???t see any marks.


Checking for bite marks on her neck and finding none.


Jesse: Well you haven???t seen the rest of my body.


Vampire 2: Is that an invitation?


Jesse: Sorry I???m taken.


Vampire 3: And where is your host?


Jesse: Oh, he???s here somewhere.


Vampire 2: This host what???s his name?


Jesse: Marius


Lestat appears from the shadows.


Vampire 1: I, Don???t know the guy.


Jesse: Of course you wouldn???t he???s an ancient.


Vampire 3: There aren???t any ancients left.


Vampire 2: They all turned to dust.


Vampire 1: So unless you???ve got him in a bottle somewhere.


Jesse: You know your brave joking like that I wish you could meet him.


Vampire 1: And why???s that?


Jesse: Cause you might learn something......Excuse me.


(Outside of Bar)


Jesse runs outside the bar, as with super speed the three vamps follow her, and surround her.


Vampire 1: Going somewhere?


Vampire 1, grabs Jesse, as she tilts her neck.


Vampire 1:Now this will only hurt a little bit.... In fact you might even enjoy it.


Lestat comes with super speed himself and fights off the vamps, as you see them run in super speed mode.


Lestat: Boo


Jesse on her knees looks up, seeing Lestat, as he lends out his hand to help her up.


Lestat:That was quite a performance. You should be more careful.


Jesse: Thanks


Lestat: For what?


Lestat circles her.


Jesse: You saved me.


Lestat: How presumptuous, So you know Marius.


Jesse: Well, I know a lot of things.


Lestat: Not how to stay alive apparently.


Jesse: Well, I guess we have that in common, although I think I???m a little ahead of the race here.


Lestat: Well I can fix that.


Jesse: Your song Redeemer, It???s about the girl with the violin, isn???t it. Yeah.


Lestat: Is it..... And what else do you think you know?


Jesse: I Ah.....


Lestat: Your shaking


Lestat starts backing up Jesse.


Jesse: Cold


Lestat: Still cold


Jesse: Uh Uh


Lestat: So go on tell me more about me.


Fully backing Jesse to the wall placing his hands on her, he looks her both up and down, then starring into her eyes.


Jesse: You, You want.


Lestat: What do I want.


Jesse: You yearn


Lestat: What do I yearn


Lestat leading her hand up to a sharp stone on the building he has her cornered against. He punchers her thumb, as blood spills out, and he begins to suck.


Lestat:What do I yearn?


Jesse: To walk with the living, Out of the cold dark wasteland of eternity.


Jesse looking confused as he done that. He backs away from her.


Lestat: Well, that makes you a very clever librarian, Talamasca..... I knew I left that journal somewhere, So was it a good read?


Jesse: It touched me


Lestat: Did it now, Don???t worry Jesse, Your kind never satisfies my thirst.


Lestat begins to walk away from her.


Jesse: Lestat I know something that???s not in your journal.


Lestat begins to turn back in wonder, of what else she might have to say about him.


Lestat: What


Jesse: You still have the violin don???t you. No I understand, after all it???s only human.


As Lestat gets angry, he flies towards her and knocks her over, she quickly gets up and hurries away.


(Lestat???s Short Lived Home)


Lestat comes strolling in his house after feeding, he wipes his mouth with a handkerchief, and goes straight to a box, as he uncovers the object that was surrounded by red velvet, to have shown a violin, he smirks.


Lestat: Clever librarian


(Airport)


Jesse is shown on the phone with David which he is back home in his study.


Jesse: David listen I???m going to Los Angeles for the concert. I uh met him David, I talked to him, I talked to Lestat, and.....


David: Wha.... Jesse, Listen to me very, very carefully, now your no longer seeing things clearly. Lestat has told the world that vampires live among us, they are furious, they???ll all be at the concert trying to kill him. You???ve become obsessed with this. I???m worried about you Jesse.


Jesse: Can you please not worry about me, Please I???m I???m going to be ok, and I???ll check in and, I???m sorry I have to go.


Jesse hangs the phone up, and in a panic, David tries to get her back.


David: No No Jesse, Jesse.


(Lestat???s Short Lived Home)


Lestat (IV The city of Los Angels already feed on the blood of youth. My presence here barely stirred a ripple. We had three days till the concert. I can feel something was coming, I just couldn???t figure out....What?


Lestat is shown lying in his coffin, listening to music on his headset, as he jerks himself up. He knows someone is in his house.


Lestat: Marius


Lestat walks into a dinning area in his house to see Marius reading Rolling Stone Magazine, Marius brings the magazine down over his eyes to look at his child.


Marius: Lestat, it is good to see you Lestat


Lestat: And you. Still wearing the old fashions I see.


Marius still wearing red velvet.


Marius: Old habits die hard.


Lestat: How did you manage to slip through the fifty???s in red velvet?


Marius: I slept


Lestat: Don???t think you missed much.


Marius: Elvis


Lestat: Elvis, yes


Marius throws the magazine on the table.


Marius: Your bigger than he is now.


Lestat: So after all this time what???s the occasion?


Marius: You???ve just become very hard to avoid these days, a distant conversation, what are you trying to prove Lestat?


Lestat: Oh Please, it???s a little to late to come off all paternal now Marius. Two hundred years, and not a word from you.


Marius: You almost cost me everything. And now you???ve done it again. This isn???t the time to settle old scores.


Lestat: Vampires don???t settle old scores, we harbor them. So how did you find me?


Marius: I made you I always known where you are, besides I just had to look for the most ghose hearths on the block.


Lestat: Come, let me show you what it means to live in the light.


(Billboard)


Both Lestat and Marius are seen high in the air, near Lestat???s billboard of him and his band.


Marius: Impressive, reminds me of old Madrid running around chanting the forest. Every time is the primitive.


Lestat: Out there my fans, they worship me, millions of arms reach out to embrace, beg me to come into there lives.


Marius: It???s what you???ve always wanted.


Lestat: With all my black little heart.


Marius: Do you think of anyone besides yourself?


Lestat: I only have myself, you taught me that.


Marius: It???s maybe time to get ready for some company.


Lestat: And what???s that supposed to mean?


Marius: Your music???s awoken a very old friend. Can???t you hear it, or is your balls only can hear now.


They both close there eyes to receive the vision of Akasha???s stone seat empty, and Enkil with his stone throat slashed, and a horrible look on his face.


Lestat: Akasha


Marius: Arisen, She has taken the kings blood, absorbed his power.


Lestat: Good let her come.


Marius: Cancel the concert.


Lestat: Never


Marius: Your no match for her Lestat your not a god. We were once mortals too. It is our heritage, we???d protect.


Lestat: Such reverence for mortals, then you should have left me as one.


Lestat jumps from the billboard, flying out, leaving Marius there alone.


(Akasha at Bar)


Akasha makes her way into the vampire bar, her movements so graceful and beautiful. She makes her way to the front bar table, to run into one of Jesse???s old friend from that place. She looks up to the TV that they were watching, seeing Lestat???s rock video, while the others stare at her in amazement.


(System is Played)


Akasha: Mmm.... Scent is fading. He was here not to long ago.


Vampire 1: You like him do you.


Akasha: He reminds me of someone.


Vampire 1: All he???s going to remind you of soon is a pile of burn. We???re going to dismember him. Bleed him dry.


Akasha: Really, Is that what your going to do?


Akasha starts dancing to Lestat???s song so seductively, she calls over Vamp 1, to dance with her, he walks over to her, as she moves fast to the back of him, she reaches up to his face to give him a kiss on his lips, and pushes her hand into his chest and rips out his heart, putting it to her mouth and sucking it dry, Vamp 1 falling to the ground, she crushes the heart with her bare hand, then starts getting attacked by all the other vamps in the bar, slashing the first attackers neck, then by her will burning every other vampire in the bar, there bodies look like floating ash like you get at the end of a cigarette. The bar is burning on fire as vampire burn is coming out the front door, you see Akasha walking through fire uninjured, an incredible scene, of her walking in slow motion to the pavement of the alley.


(Lestat???s on Satellite)


Lestat (IV Old gods on new streets, not only had the concert sold out among the living, it seemed all the undead were coming too. I new there would be a lot of angry vampires out there, frightened of the light I was directing on all our kind.


(Big Screen New York)


Reporter 4: Do you have anything to say to the other vampires listening out there.


Lestat: As a matter of fact I do, Come out Come out, Wherever you are.

Lestat: Why are you following me, What do you want?


Jesse reaches into her back and pulls out Lestat???s Journal.

Jesse: I want you to show me what it???s like.


Lestat: What, what is like exactly?

Jesse: All a vampire has is time.


Lestat: Not this one


Jesse: Right the covens are coming for you, how you going to spend what maybe your last night on earth Lestat, as you always have alone?

Lestat: Why not?

Jesse: Why not share it with me?


Lestat: All right, this maybe painful for a mortal your still attached to your skin.


Lestat makes his way to the back of Jesse, pulling back her hair, holding her.


Jesse: I don???t care.


Lestat: Do you trust me.


Jesse: Yes


Lestat: Then close your eyes


Jesse closes her eyes, and leans her head back to Lestat???s face, as her hair is against his nose, Lestat taking in her scent. He holds her lifting, them both in the air, to a tour in the city above ground.


(Lestat & Jesse Flying)


(OnTop Of Building)


Lestat coming down on top of a rather large building he lands both feet on the ledge, letting Jesse go as she begins to fall off, you can hear her scream, as Lestat quickly grabs her hand, throwing her into the air and catching her, to help her land both feet on the ledge. He looks into her eyes, just in awe of Jesse. Perhaps there is feeling there.


Lestat:Marius was right, but I never understood it till I met you.


Jesse: What do you mean.


Lestat: Your beautiful to me because you human. Your frailty, your short years, your heart, even as you think it???s breaking, all that seems suddenly more precious than anything I ever known.


Jesse: I???m not as precious as you think.


She takes a pin to her breast, scraping her skin to make it bleed, as she offers herself to him.


Jesseo it, Please. Let me be with you let me know everything.


Lestat moves towards her breast, as the blood lust is taking over him, he grabs her shoulder, and changes his mind suddenly and releases her very harshly.


Lestat: Oh, you want to know everything. Come then. I???ll show you.


Leading Jesse in the park, He see???s a woman being escorted by a vampire.


Jesse: What is it what we doing.


Lestat: Shhhh


Lestat growls at the vampire as he moves away from his victim in vamp speed, Lestat walks beside the victim.


Jesse: Is she all right?


As Lestat comes down on the victims neck, to feed off her. Victim Screams in terror, as her life is ending. Lestat draws away from the dead woman, with blood on his lips, coming towards Jesse.


Lestat: Now you see, are you ready?


Jesse: No noo


Lestat: Now do you want it? Huh, No of course you don???t.

(Mojave Desert, California)


Jesse appearing in bed, at Maharet???s home, the same bed that she had earlier dreams of.


Jesse (IV All these years, I???d hope this place was real. For the first time in my life I feel like I???m home. Strange that this journey should lead me here. This place that???s haunted my dreams.


Young Jesse???s Voice Fade In: Aunt Your Bleeding


Maharet???s Voice Fade In: You must be with your own. I???ll always be watching over you.


Young Jesse???s Voice Fade In: I want to stay with you forever.


Jesse walks out into the main room, looking at the family wall, thinking of the flashbacks when she was a child. Then in the shadows Maharet appears, her eyes glowing in the dark, and becoming normal as she reaches the light.


Maharet: Forever is a very long time.


Jesse: Aunt Maharet, You haven???t aged, you haven???t changed at all.


Jesse goes to hug her aunt and then draw back from her.


Maharet: I was once a mortal too. I boar a child before Akasha took me, I took care of that child, and her children and her children???s children, this is our family. My way of cooping with eternity. You are what keeps me connected to the world of the living. When your parents died, I brought you here to take care of you. Now is not the time. You were seeking answers and now you???ve found them. The family is who you are.


Maharet sensing the ancients coming.


(Back at Beach House)


Lestat wakes to find the sun upon him. He quickly draws back from it, but can???t understand why he???s not dust. He makes his way outside, to notice a great deal of humans slaughtered. He turns back noticing Akasha.


Akasha: Drinking my blood allows you to live in the light. And soon the sun will no longer sting your eyes. This is but a taste of what we shall share my love, my king. Behold our kingdom.


Lestat: A kingdom of corpses, Why?


Akasha: Why not?


Lestat: This is why you have risen.


Akasha: They believed in nothing, now they are nothing. But you and I we will change all that. We will give the world something to believe in again. Now come my love we have a score to settle.


(Mojave Desert California)


Ancients walking to Maharet???s family wall.


Maharet: Since my mortal death I have watched, I have guided and cared for my human family. Generations beyond memory.


Marius: This is why we must fight Akasha, for the sake of your great family.


Maharet: The world we know is about to end. The only way to prevent this is through Akasha???s destruction.


Pandora: But How?


Maharet: When she opens herself to give blood, she is vulnerable.


Kayman: Whoever, takes the last of her blood, will not survive it.


Jesse: What about Lestat?

Maharet: Dearest Lestat has joined with Akasha he???s lost to us now, forget him.

Suddenly the doors pop open and Akasha walks in with Lestat not far behind her.


Akasha: My children, warms my blood to see you all gathered, plotting against me.


Maharet: Akasha


Akasha: Maharet, you will address my king first.


Camera focuses on Jesse, concerned she wonders and asks.


Jesse: Lestat what has she done to you?


Marius: Lestat step aside.


Lestat: Never


Maharet: The world has changed since you reigned.


Akasha: Then we shall change it back, Humans are animals, blue creatures, there destruction can only make sense.


Maharet: We???ve found other ways to co-exist.

Akasha: Ah, yes. In silence and shadow and shame and for what for a spec of mortals. There nothing to use, They are merely food.


Marius: Akasha, Please.


Akasha: You think you can change my will, but enough of this discussion, join me or die.


Camera faces Maharet.


Maharet: I will not.


Camera faces Pandora.


Pandora: I will not.


Camera faces Armand.


Armand: I will not.


Camera faces Marius.


Marius: I will not.


Akasha looks disappointed, and at the end of her rope, she turns to Lestat.


Akasha: Do you love me?


Lestat: Yes


Akasha: Then prove it, kill her.


Akasha points to Jesse, Jesse looks scared, Maharet looks worried, Lestat looks surprised.


Lestat: Ah, she???s nothing to me.


Akasha: Just the same, I???d like for you to kill her.


Maharet says angrily.


Maharet: You will not touch her.


Akasha: You still think to challenge me Maharet..... Now.


Akasha lifts Maharet with her will and flings her to a stone wall.


Jesse: No it???s all right Aunt Maharet, It???s what I want.


Lestat makes his way to Jesse.


Akasha: How Sweet.


Jesse: I???m ready


Jesse pulls back her hair, and lowers her shirt offering him to take her on her breast once more. He looks so sad at the thought of doing this, Jesse raises her arm around his neck, bending him down to her skin, he extends his mouth, as his teeth are exposed. He bites into her, as she moans so softly, As he begins to suck her dry. His hand comes up around her neck for deeper penetration. The family wall starts to bleed. Jesse???s life begins to fade, as she drops her left hand from his neck and places her right hand on his hair, as if it were a lovers embrace. She caresses his back side, as her head bends backwards, Her hands lowering farther and farther down his body. As he still has her around the waist and cuffing her head, he begins to hold all her weight, for if he didn???t she would collapse. Jesse???s arms now completely fallen, Lestat bends his knees, while still attached to her, he draws away from her. As he lowers her body to the stone floor, very gently, then finally placing her head down along with the rest of her body. He looks up at everyone with blood lust in his eyes. As Akasha makes her way across the room.


Akasha: See my children, remember your real family, or join hers.


Lestat quickly joins Akasha???s side. Looking over at her.


Lestat: Now, give me my crown.


Akasha: Spoken like a true king. Come.


Lestat bites down into Akasha???s arm, to draw her power into him.


Akasha: You see how he obeys. You will or you will all die. That is enough Lestat.


Lestat looks up at Marius, as to motion to him of a devious plan. Marius looks shocked.


Akasha:that is enough Lestat stop.


She flings Lestat off her and on to the stairs, as the rest of the ancients attack her, Akasha???s will allows her to fling Mael, and you see him die by her fire, as Pandora, Armand, Kayman, and Marius, sink there teeth into her. Akasha screams, as she flings Pandora and she dies, by the fire as well. The ancients still sucking on her, draining her dry. The next to be flung is Armand, he begins to get charcoaled, but since Akasha???s power is draining, he is spared, and flies towards her once more. Akasha rises off the ground, as the ancients are still attached to her. Maharet is no longer restrained. The ancients draw back from Akasha.


Akasha: You kill me you kill yourselves.


Lestat with anger in his eyes, comes up towards Akasha, she uses as much strength as she has left to give to burn Lestat, but it doesn???t take effect. Lestat rips off her necklace, and sinks his teeth into her. Ready to take the last drop. But Maharet comes up beside Lestat and touches his shoulder.


Maharet: Wait Lestat, You must stop.


Maharet places her hand around Akasha drawing her near, she lets her hand slide over Akasha???s face, as she sinks her teeth into her, draining her completely dry. Akasha begins to turn to a black burnt object, her eyes hollow in as it seems, and she looks as if she were sadden, her body begins to turn to dust then bone, and finally, her ashes, float up outward into the air. Leaving her with not a trace. And Lestat makes his way to Jesse???s side biting his own wrist he tries to feed her from him, but low and behold Marharet is turned to stone, making Akasha???s fate her own.


Armand: She drank Akasha???s last drop, She took Akasha???s death into herself.


Marius: She???s not dead, she sleeps.


(David???s Study)


David in his study, reading his news papers, he feels like someone is there, everyone should know that feeling, so he checks the door.


David: Hello

Davidh my god, Jesse


Jesse: Hello, David...... David this is Lestat.

David: Yes, Thank you, Thank you so much. Can I ask....


Jesse: What???s it like?


David: Yes
