I'm honestly surprised that Broadway didn't capitalize on the vampire craze of 2008-2012 by debuting a "Dance of the Vampires" faithful to the German adaptation. I would have even settled for a Joel Schumacher directed Netflix small film.
I saw your comment with some solid and interesting information on a demo recording of Total Eclipse with Barton singing Krolock's part, so I searched for your own demos. They're so good! And whoever was responsible for the revised lyrics kept it so close to the German version fans know and love. Fantastic job. Maybe you can still play Krolock one day. (Side note: your very classical technique actually reminds me more of Kevin Tarte than Steve Barton, but those two are my favorites. (Though, Borchert is also great.))
No, it's not from an album recording. I was asked to record it a few years ago in English for a New York production. They were talking about doing an Off-Broadway production and the producer asked me to record it. The project never happened.
man this was great, I would have seen this in a Heartbeat, has so much more to it than the english Versions we got, almost strikes the same feel as the European Version.
Good evening, you have nothing to fear the angel you've prayed for is finally here Your waiting will soon be over I invite you my dear To dance through the night time at the ball of the year 'till your girlish longing makes a woman appear Or you could chose to stay and be some peasant's wife one day Will it ever be enough? I think that it'll never be enough You can work and pray until you're fat and old and grey but will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough! It's not enough to make your yearnings go away It's not enough to light your tired eyes It's not enough to put some passion in a dreary day Everything that they taught you was nothing but lies Everything that they bought you was nothing but bribes and I know that you want more! All you wanted was a piece of the night! So come along and take your share Stop your searching everywhere Let your heart prepare To revel at my midnight ball I'll give you what you need Take a journey on the wings of the night Break the chains of drudgery let your fantasies fly free You will dance on air Tomorrow at my midnight ball
But just as Sarah was about to get bitten, Alfred wakes the Professor and goes in to save her. Only to find the Count was gone and Sarah was still in the bath like nothing happened. Chagal and his wife rush in here to see what was going on. But they find Alfred in the bathroom with Sarah. Furious, Chagal drags Sarah out of the tub and sends her to her room where he gave her a spanking. "You are never to take a bath again," he yelled. Sarah started crying from her father's harshness. "Do you promise to be a good girl from now on," asked Chagal. "I promise," Sarah replied with tears in her eyes. "I will never take a bath again." As Chagal left the room, he boarded the door closed, keeping Sarah locked in her room forever.
oh wow, this is incredible. Please tell me you've done more or that you're planning to do more cause this is just incredible. *whispers insistently* Do it.

Too bad the project never happened! You would of been an amazing Krolock.

Learning of the hash they made of an English version for Broadway and sad for what this shows what was possible but we will never see.
this is an amazing English version of this song.
Good evening, you have nothing to fear
the angel you've prayed for is finally here
Your waiting will soon be over
I invite you my dear
To dance through the night time at the ball of the year
'till your girlish longing makes a woman appear
Or you could chose to stay
and be some peasant's wife one day
Will it ever be enough?
I think that it'll never be enough
You can work and pray
until you're fat and old and grey
but will it ever be enough?
You know that it'll never be enough!
It's not enough to make your yearnings go away
It's not enough to light your tired eyes
It's not enough to put some passion in a dreary day
Everything that they taught you was nothing but lies
Everything that they bought you was nothing but bribes
and I know that you want more!
All you wanted was a piece of the night!
So come along and take your share
Stop your searching everywhere
Let your heart prepare
To revel at my midnight ball
I'll give you what you need
Take a journey on the wings of the night
Break the chains of drudgery
let your fantasies fly free
You will dance on air
Tomorrow at my midnight ball
