[edit] Plot

Seduce Me After the Show contains five short yaoi/shōnen-ai stories that inhabit the artistic worlds of dance, painting, and music. In the title story, "Seduce Me After the Show" the story opens with Theo Galland, a ballet dancer prodigy, performing the dual role of the fiery, free spirited Carmen and the doomed and captured Jose in the musical dance Carmen. And it is this same dichotomy between freedom and captivity, passion and despair, strength and weakness, and happiness and regret that echoes strongly throughout each story within this artistically crafted yaoi manga.

Who is the free and passionate Carmen and who is the anguished and captured Jose?

As if seeking the answer, after performing Carmen, Theo Galland abandons his own dancing career for Hollywood acting when his famous dancer mother dies on her way to see his show. And it is in this world of eternal masquerade that Theo meets Daren Ferguson and once again begins dancing feverishly to the Carmen tango, only this time, with a partner other than himself. For what started as a joking kiss between the two men soon leads to a new level of acting when Daren asks "So what comes next?" and Theo answers, "that will depend on the scenario."
