Key quotes
· 3 pulledLast year, Michael Arden turned a musical about two robots into a Tony Award winner for best musical. This year, he's taking on vampires.
With 12 Tony nominations, including two for Arden himself (as a director and shared lighting design credit), the production has emerged as a frontrunner in several technical categories and become one of Broadway's most talked-about new shows.
But it's also an expensive gamble, with a reported budget of $25 million.
