BITE ME ! is an Original Campy, Sexy, Vampire Musical!

The frightened Jenny gets bitten by an angry vampire and transforms into the ultimate blood thirsty Diva – Succula! Enter her nasty Siamese-twin sisters, Summer Clearance and Charity Case, who are in a really bad mood since being separated by aliens from outer space!!!

Bite Me! was written by myself and my writing partner, the very talented Rob Bowers who wrote the music and lyrics!!!

ACT 1
[MUSIC: Song #1: "A Tale of Darkness"]
A clock tolls.
[FOG]
[HOUSE LIGHTS CHANGE TO RED ]
The BOY ENTERS through audience dressed in an exotic sexy form-fitting outfit. His face is hidden by the costume. The BOY shakes two rings of bells. Once onstage he clangs the two rings together.
[HOUSE LIGHT- OFF]
[STAGE LIGHTS - UP]
(A blast of spooky music ushers in the TWINS, CHARITY and SUMMER. They are draped in purple hooded floor- length capes wearing sunglasses.)
SUMMER & CHARITY:
WE… BRING…YOU… A TALE OF DARKNESS!
WE… BRING… YOU… A TALE OF WOE --- OHH --- OAH!
FULL… OF… SECRETS TO EXCITE YOU
ENOUGH… TO… MAKE
YOUR INCISORS GROW --- WOAH --- WOAH!
THE LEGENDS OF DRACULA
ALL BORDER ON SPECTACULAH!
YOU’LL NEVER COUNT THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND!
POOR BRAM STOKER, HE WENT MAD
THAT MIDNIGHT WHEN THE EVIL VLAD
CAME ALONG TO IMPALE HIS MIND!
NOW THE LIVING DEAD ARE NEVER HARD TO FIND.
THE BLOOD OF TRANSYLVANIA…
HAS FED A WORLD-WIDE MANIA….
PICTURE
NOSFERATU FLICKERING TERROR IN BLACK-AND-WHITE.
LAGOSI BREAKING HEARTS AND WIND WHEN HE TOOK FLIGHT.
LESTAT NOW RULES VAMPIRICAL ARTS
(AT LEAST AS DEAR ANNE RICE IMPARTS)
BUT NONE CAN COMPARE
WITH THE SCARE YOU’LL HAVE TONIGHT!
AND SO, MORTALS, BEWARE!
PRESENTING…IN PERSON…
A BRAND-NEW DIVA OF THE DEAD!
YOU’LL BE CAUGHT IN HER SNARE!
ITS GONNA BE WORSE’N
WHATEVER YOUR NIGHTMARES DREAD.
CHARITY
NO TIME TO PRAY!
SHE’S RISING NOW,
SUMMER
IT’S JUDGEMENT DAY!
CHARITY
CAUSE YOU’LL BE HER PREY.
SUMMER
SHE’LL PLAY WITH YOU LIKE A HUNGRY BAT!
BOTH
DON’T LEAVE YOUR SEAT…NO TIME FOR THAT!
SHE’S VERY NEAR.
AHHHH…..
AHHHH…..SHE’S HERE!!!!!
[MUSIC: Song #2: “Diva in the Dark”]
[SPOTLIGHT HITS THE GURNEY]
(To the sound of a thumping heartbeat and strange music, The BOY, dressed in surgical whites complete with white mask and hat , wheels in SUCCULA on a mortuary gurney. She is covered in white sheets. SUCCULA’s green gloved hand emerges from under the sheet. The BOY removes the white sheet and SUCCULA appears in all her green sparkling magnificence wearing sunglasses. The HEARTBEAT SOUNDS stop. She SINGS.)
SUCCULA
AT FIRST YOU’LL BE AFRAID.
PETRIFIED.
YOU’LL WONDER…AHHH!!
“WHAT’S THE NAME OF THE GAME?”
BUT YOU’LL BE
AH-AH-AH-AH- STAYIN’ ALIVE…
ETERNALLY
IF YOU LET ME LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE
WITH JUST THE SOUND OF MY NAME----
SUCCCCCULAAAAHHHHH!
The BOY tilts the gurney up and SUCCULA walks off. She removes her sunglasses and puts them on the gurney. (MUSICAL hisses and throbbing noises play under her ErthaKitt-as- GraceJones-doing-TinaTurner voice emerges:)
“You may not believe this. But I am a "Vampire. CHARITY & SUMMER::
SUCCULA-AHH-AHH-AHHHH
SUCCULA-AHH-AHH-AHHHH
(These continue as needed)
(Indicates SINGERS)
“THOSE are my Vamps!”
(Indicates Audience.)
“And YOU are my Vic---- Brand New Friends.”
(To BOY. Only her eyes move.)
“BOY!!!”
(ALL MUSIC AND SINGING STOPS.)
(Eyes sharply back to Audience.)
“Lock…the…doors.”
(The BOY quickly EXITS. THE MUSIC GOES DISCO-DARK. CHARITY & SUMMER sing backup during the song. THEIR LYRICS are in parentheses to the right of the main lyric.)
SUCCULA
I RULE THE NIGHT
FOR THE DARK AROUSES ALL MY SENSES.
THE TIME IS RIGHT
TO SEDUCE YOUR WEAK DEFENSES.
IF YOU’LL SUCCUMB WITHOUT A FIGHT
THEN I WILL OFFER YOU WORLDS UNKNOWN.
SINCE WHAT YOU’RE SECRETLY
DREAMING OF…LUSTING AFTER…BEGGING FOR…
I ALREADY OWN!
I AM YOUR DIVA IN THE DARK. (DIVA-DIVA-DIVA)
DIVA IN THE DARK. (SO DARK.)
MY BLOOD WILL RUN HOT TONIGHT,
AND THE HEAT IS YOURS. (HOT! HOT! HOT!)
THIS CHANCE YOU’VE GOT TONIGHT WITH ME
WILL BORE TO THE CORE OF YOUR BEING.
SO, UNTIL THE STARS ARE FLEEING,
LET ETERNITY LEAVE ITS MARK… (COME TAKE A WALK IN THE PARK)
WITH YOUR DIVA IN THE DARK.
...and now let the BITING begin...
