Musical Lestat To Hit Boards

After more than two years of development, Warner Brothers Theatre Ventures on Aug. 23 told the Los Angeles Times that it will be ready to premiere a musical adaptation of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles at San Francisco's Curran Theatre in December, with a Broadway opening planned for next spring.

Called Lestat and featuring a score by the famed pop writing team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, the production will star Hugh Panaro, who has appeared on Broadway in Les Misérables, Show Boat and The Phantom of the Opera, the newspaper reported. Also in the cast are Carolee Carmello, Jack Noseworthy, Jim Stanek, Roderick Hill, Michael Genet and Allison Fischer.

Lestat, the first Broadway offering from Warner, has a book by Linda Woolverton and will be directed by Robert Jess Roth, both of whom filled similar roles on Disney's first Broadway hit, Beauty and the Beast. It will run in San Francisco from Dec. 17 through Jan. 29.

Fun for the whole family.

Well, that certainly sounds like it is going to attract an interesting crowd.

Looks sure to keep the homoerotic undertones of Anne Rice's original.

Just when you thought it couldn't get gayer...
