And it's like, what kind of life would you lead?

Who would you love?

How would you behave?

Would you if you could take what you wanted without any any consequence, what would you take?

Yeah.

Everything.

Yeah.

And would what you desire change based upon that?

Or grow.

Or you think you do.

So I think actually this kind of mythic, silly vampire idea to some actually is like an unbelievable what if.

That is a great unifier because everybody dies except for vampires.

But everybody dies.

And so I think it poses a question that is quite a complex one to grapple with.

And so maybe that's why every culture has it because in every culture, you die.

Well, the Lost Boys just earned 12 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Musical Score, Choreography, Scenic Design.

You were also nominated for Best Director and Best Lighting Design, so you may win two Tonys.

Oh my gosh, that would be too much.

You also just won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lighting Design of a Musical, which you shared with your co-designer, Jen Schriever.

Congratulations.
