Elton John's new musical Lestat opened on Broadway last night. Several critics claimed it would "suck the life out of you" if you saw it. Others, including Peter Felichia (my favorite on line theatre critic) said that if you take it as camp entertainment, it is a pretty fun experience. There is a video sample of some of the musical numbers on broadway.com. A lot of the critics say that the music is "lifeless" (ugh, another vampire pun), but I like that kind of pop musical sound.

But did you read the story on the Theater Mania review? At each new paragraph I thought, "You have got to be kidding me."
"Going to the Chapel"-brings back some old, wonderful memories
