If there is ever a "Dance of The Vampires" Broadway revival (which I think is unlikely if the brand has been damaged in the States), I would love Ramin Karimloo or Norm Lewis to play Krolok.

Thanks to singers like Jan Amman and Shawn. Me, a barely twenty year old lad, can only thank you for that.

Thank you! We appreciate it. When our input was solicited, we discovered, much to our (lack of) surprise, that the German text had pretty much been roundly ignored in terms of lyrical content when it came to developing the Broadway version. So, we hunkered down and looked at the original German version closely, and tried to use similar imagery and convey the same -- or similar -- ideas through an English lens. In the case of this song, Krolock may not have been hungry for "love," per se, but the ideas conveyed in our lyric hew _very_ closely to the German lyric.

Huge Steinman fan here. I found this linked from the DataLounge thread in regards to Jim, but I'm glad I kept scrolling even after all the juicy gossip and trivia. Barton's English demo is my favorite take, but I love all the Tanz interpretations, including this one -- the lyrics are definetly an improvement over Jim's common themes are redundant passages ("The skies were blue and the fields were green," etc). While I don't feel Tanz will ever make a resurgence in the US, regardless of the success of the BOOH musical, I appreciate all the love it continues to get around the world. I still kick myself for not taking the time to catch it in Berlin when I was there for an event last August :\
