Well, Kunze openly refers to DOTV as an unauthorized version of the show. He says he would have stopped the show but he learned about the changes too late. Just look at his website.
QUOTE:
"Collaborating with Roman Polanski (director) and Jim Steinman (composer), Michael wrote his first English libretto and lyrics for the musical, DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES. A German version opened in October 1997 at the Viennese Raimund Theater to raving reviews and became an international hit. An unauthorized and mutilated version that ran on Broadway for a few months could not stop the international success of the original."
