Sam Reid is stepping back into Lestat’s shoes — and this time, he’s taking the vampire’s music to the stage. The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE brings the actor’s season three performance to a special concert event featuring six original songs from composer Daniel Hart.
Filmed at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on June 2, the standing-room-only concert saw Reid perform in character as Lestat. The evening began with a screening of the first episode of The Vampire Lestat before the actor took the stage for the musical performance.

The six-song setlist includes music written specifically for The Vampire Lestat by Hart, including “The Loneliness” and “Brutal Love.” Hart has said “The Loneliness” is his favorite song he wrote for season three because of its varied rhythms.
The concert arrives after season three’s run and ahead of the series’ next chapter, Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned , which was announced as season four during San Diego Comic-Con in July.
