"Shaken, Not Stirred," one of the songs Fiore put to music, was supposed to have a James Bond-esque sound.
For that melody, Fiore turned to his brother, a James Bond fanatic, who inspired him with his CDs of Bond tunes.
Other songs include "The Vampire Strikes Back," "Spooky Kind of Love," "I've Had It"--the traditional romantic ballad in the second act--and the first act closer, "Fangs for the Memories."
"I kind of like the title song. It was catchy and sounded like a 'G.I. Joe' fight song," Fiore said. "Hopefully, that will stick in [the audience's] minds through intermission."
From now on until winter break, the writers and Fiore will collaborate on the rest of the score.
"Come intersession, we start rehearsing," Padgett said. "It's a packed process from here on out."
Curtain goes up in February.
