Twihard is a musical parody that sparkles - Chicago On Stage

"OK, I’ll admit it: I am a 66-year-old writer and former English teacher who is also a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga. Despite writing that sometimes plods—Stephen King famously said that she “can’t write worth a darn”—Meyer’s invention of a whole new mythology and ethos for vampires is still the best thing to happen to these creatures of the night since Anne Rice. (Rice’s novels have justifiably been called florid; perhaps the subject of vampires drains the blood from good prose?) In any case, I was (and am still) entranced by the four-novel story of Bella Swan, the teenager who moves from Arizona to the small (and very real) town of Forks, Washington when her mother remarries and finds herself attracted to Edward Cullen, one of the members of a local vampire clan."
