WHENEVER THEY MENTION MOOSE MURDERS, LOOK OUT: This is not a good morning for Jim Steinman, Amherst class of 1969. His new $10 million musical, Dance of the Vampires, starring Phantom of the Opera's Michael Crawford, opened on Broadway last night and, umm . . .

The New York Times: It is an enterprise to be associated with only under the veil of anonymity.

Washington Post: The advice for theatergoers is just what you might give to those garlic-wearing villagers: Run for your lives.

New York Post: [T]his vampire excursion needs a transfusion.

Newsday: For this, Michael Crawford has chosen to return and show his fans the other side of the face beneath the mask. He is either very brave or very foolish.

Well, at least the class of 1969 still has Teller to be proud of.
