(because I've worked on this play more than once and know it pretty well) these lines that Romeo says. So with "Show me that bitter star, I want it" as the first line of the chorus, Lestat is saying that the star, the fate, that leads him to Louis is something that ends in death
Literary nerd 🧵 incoming. There is a reference in Brutal Love that made me look up whether Daniel Hart came from a very Christian background as a kid, and he did. With "Show me that bitter star", I thought of "star-crossed lovers", a phrase from Romeo and Juliet, and remembered

I spoke about this at length with the cast and creators today, and their answers were thoughtful and I feel the future is bright! Soon to come on @nerdist!
