Lestat the musical Trailer

[animefanpersonthingy]

THIS MAN PWNS TOM CRUISE AND THAT OTHER ABOMINATION!!!!

[ucantw84inspiration]

Is that Darth Vader 00:3?

[sinistar99]

Like Lestat wasn't gay enough! Now it's an Elton John musical. Wow. I'm so there.

[tabitha448]

He is so hotttt that he can give me a erotic bite on my neck on any-night

[ArthasMenethilPure]

Would you raher have the powers of a vampire or Dorian Gray?...not his fate, just the power...

[tianadowne123]

I give props to all vampires....Sparkly or white. All vampires rock to me.

[Dank951]

What does the Twilight series have to do with Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles? They're two different FICTIONAL worlds. Quit comparing Lestat and Edward...The criticism is pathetic especially when Anne has stated that she saw beauty within the Twilight stories and considers them to be apart of the Vampire metaphor.

[SkitzMitz]

Actually, Lestat sparkles as well....Just not in a stupid-cant-go-out-in-the-sun-­because-of-it-kind-of-way,

...And I cant be bothered to find the quotes that back this up xD

[phoebeandcoop934]

Very cool,love and peace to you :) ^^

[soralovesleon]

I want to see this musical! I hate not living in america sometimes :P

[becky2shoes]

@soralovesleon And not having a time machine?

[soralovesleon]

@becky2shoes yeah that too :D

[momo4peaches]

Ahhh man I wish I could have seen this! It looks epic!

[Hachii1]

Someone can say to me in which of Anne Rice's books this history appears

[Hachii1]

Do you know were I can see this musical, I can´t find it... Thanks =)

[officialxMrsHale]

@Hachii1

search SF Tatsel and you'll find it

[becky2shoes]

@Hachii1 SERIOUSLY?!

[Hachii1]

Do you know were I can see this musical, I can't find it. Thanks!!=)

[XvampireXcarrieX]

"Lestat pwns edward. You know why? BECAUSE HE DOES NOT FREAKING SPARKLE!!!"

Hahahahahaha xDDD Totally agree with you ;P

[SophieDeLioncourt]

Oh my god! That's almost excatly how I pictured Lestat in the books! Just the overly theatrical preview makes me laugh and the voice when he says "live forever"

[MissNellGwynne]

I think it's points to Lestat. 0 to Ewdward. What a pitty.

[FantasmaLuna]

Whoa! Hugh Panaro looks exactly how I imagined Lestat in the books!

[TicTaxofElacon]

It is just really really hard to find a good usage of Ann Rice in anything but her books. She writes in a way that is really hard to duplicate the emotion of it on anything but paper.

[xXSweeneyLovettXx]

This was on Broadway 3 years ago for 1 month and 3 days - and I've JUST found out about it :(

[Simulacra719]

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything - it was worse than awful. I've never seen so many people leave a theatre during a performance EVER. Allison Fischer as Claudia and Carolee Carmello as Lestat's mother were the best things in it.

[PollyPeachum3penny]

lol... I am still pissed I didn't get to see that

[silverphantom88]

Hugh Panaro was AMAZING as Lestat. He got the sarcastic-ness of Lestat down perfect. I was fortunate enough to see this in May 2006 a few weeks before it closed on broadway.

[PhantomsMasquerade]

Ah man. You're so lucky. I wish I could've seen it in person. I guess you could say I "saw" it because someone taped opening night and put it on google video. xD.

[Veckett]

OMG . if only tom cruise played lesat. then that musical would be the greatist ever. :D

[thealexmusical]

ummm. A much as I love tom cruise as that character, I dont know what his singing voice is like. But I know the people in the musical are amazing! you should listen to some of it.

[FantasmaLuna]

*le sigh* Lestat is God!

I love that mischievous smirk on his face when he says "Live forever." So like Lestat!

[TheBratKingJareth]

I miss this play. The San Francisco version was far superior to the New York version.

[daemonikk]

Am I the only one who would have found it somehow more fitting to have David Bowie working on the songs than Elton John?

[StageConspire]

Ooh, no you're not the only one! That would have been awesome

[AmandaSnape]

Agghhh No, ME TOO!!

I have a feeling the play would have been more successful too. =P

[lillestat]

or perhaps Jonathon Davis. its a shame his talents were wasted in that shit film

[kaikahitonari]

Lestat pwns edward. You know why? BECAUSE HE DOES NOT FREAKING SPARKLE!!! and while edward was being a vegan vamp, Lestat was out in the night drinking the blood of young pretty boys and girls. Now, get the idea?

[MunkiNunkle]

Somehow the idead of Broadyway showtunes just doesn't scream ruthless vampiric killer to me.

*heavy sigh* Why can't they just leave a good story alone?

[LoyalJuliet]

well.. I liked the songs, even thought some of them... just don´t fit in the story..

to me it´s sounds like Disney version of the story, but I like it..

Why it would have to be so serious?

[LoyalJuliet]

yeah, oh dear Lestat de LionCourt was the vampire of kings and the king of vampires, before Edward even became one...

[ChazzLover92]

True indeed!^^

[13nadroj]

@LoyalJuliet So ture

[Calucifer13]

One day, I will name my child after him.

[LoyalJuliet]

I won´t have children, but my cat is named after him : )

[Calucifer13]

he he :-)

[groovypeacock]

My cat is too!

He has his penetrating blue eyes, and he manages to draw blood from me daily. He's a ferocious beast.

[LoyalJuliet]

my greetings to your cat

[gumsucker]

is this going to come out on dvd?

i really wanna see it.

or is there anywhere online i can watch it?

Lestat kicks Edward Cullen's ass!

[VampireSyx]

Lestat doesn't even have to try to kick Edward's ass! xD

[phantomphan07]

Yea, I'm a big fan of twilight, but Lestat will always be top Vamp for me.

[akane1412]

We have a problem with Lestat kicking Edward's ass. Or rather, two.

Edward walks around on sunlight all sparkly while Lestat is sound asleep (though that does make him an easy prey at night)

Another is that Lestat would probably be way too amused at sparkling (pikapika) Vampires and laughing his ass of instead of killing them XD;

[LoyalJuliet]

don´t you remember that older vampires don´t need that sleep?

and since Lestat is a great mix of the blood from the oldest of all, he doesn´t need it...

and sun, it´s not a problem.

but yeah... sparkling vampires.. XD

[NakuTie77]

That guy looks like Bowie.

[pixie453]

RELEASE LESTAT!!

[emarwood]

So when exactly is this show gonna be made into film?

I really want to see this. As I love the song Right Before my Eyes which I found after reading one of "Lestat's" books.

[pixie453]

It is, as far as it will be anyway. The movies Interview with the vampire and Queen of the Damned. Lestat was on broadway for only a year and then Anne Rice renounced her Vampire Chronicles and it was all forgotten. You can see some of the scenes on Youtube though. It was a pity, because it was such a good show.

[hdkwc]

They never came to CA!! It should go back on tour.

[unclealand]

Elton John owes me $85 for sitting through this boring show. I felt sorry for the cast, they were working hard, but the score was dull and the whole last half of the show was not "Lestat"; it was a rehash of "Interview."

[soulfucker616]

is this fake?

[lumecia]

no, actually there is a musical, but i think it was only at the broadway and as succeedful as dance of the vampires.

[mmgringoire2]

at least release the soundtrack.

[mmgringoire2]

Please bring Lestat back!

[LadyArmand2]

i want Lestat back!

[jmerizar]

this is such a piece of shit!

[DarkFairy003]

they better release this on dvd or something!

[jamierourketen]

it panned completely!

[unclealand]

Elton John owes me $80. I spent 2 hours of my life seeing this monumentally stupid adaptation with its boring score. It just SAT there. It was worse than "Cats."

[katesinger]

cats is awesome!!!...if done well.

[unclealand]

"Cats"is the best emetic I can think of.

[unclealand]

Think harder.

[GabbyGenevieve]

Haha, seriously!

[Omboth]

Cats was awful D8

And that's not just because I hate cats... I thought the entire show was just downright creepy.

[AndieHeartsYou143]

Actually... Cats sucks.

[ajkl27]

I though the ending was stupid but the rest of it was pretty good... its a matter of personal opinion I guess

[auroradelioncourt]

Oh! I wasn't paying attetion to what I wrote...

What I wanted to say was that: He is a good Lestat, isn't he???

[auroradelioncourt]

He does act like Lestat!!!! I wish I had the songs! I want to put them on my iPod... :'''(

...Oh, well...

[alisadragoon]

if you would like the songs i can send them to you if you wish auroradelioncourt.

[ajkl27]

how did you get the songs?

[alisadragoon]

A friend of mine sent them to me a while ago.

[alisadragoon]

This guy is EXACTLY how i imagined Lestat.

[wittyusername]

Hugh Panaro is made of win. Enough said.

[Kethtgi]

eayeah.... Good trailer. Should have left it at that.

[Kethtgi]

eeyeah... good trailer. Should have left it at that.

[FantasmaLuna666]

FINALLY!!! Someone who looks AND acts like Lestat!

[munoz19a]

yeah!..

the Wolfkiller!

viva Lestat!

[showtunesfever92]

RELEASE LESTAT!!!!

[showtunesfever92]

The vocals in this show are beyond amazinggg <3

[blueskies8405]

Oh, I wish I could have seen that!!!! Looks so good!!

[anguaa]

looooooooool.

[FailaTelcontar]

I love his very 21st century apartment, and computer. lol. Lestat always was able to adapt to the times well.

[whatashameofthat]

"Die young... live forever..."

I can listen to it over and over again ^^

[Ivet7]

I love you Lestat...

[mercifulreddeath]

By the trailer, this looked awesome... pity it closed so quick. I would have loved to see it.

Plus Hugh P... I mean come on, the man is a beautiful singer. Gorgeous Lestat...

[PatrolTheCrack]

not my impression of lestat...

[xoangel2789xo]

saw hugh panaro in phantom, he was amazing.

actually that was one of the reasons i wanted to see lestat.

[eriksangelofmusic]

I <3 Hugh Panaro!!!!!!!!

[MissTheGirl]

Wow... that is not how I see Lestat at ALL. But all the same I'd have done anything to see it... :(

[sofidu92]

hugh panaro is not that handsome... and his voice is kinda scarry.. i´t really doesn´t match with lestat´s personality from the books...

[pixie453]

actors can never match the character properly only the character themselves can do that

[albadow]

considering the cahracter is from a book it would be pretty hard to do that and its each person different imagination that which makes lestat the way they see him so you will never have a PERFECT lestat, so basically lestat cant match lestat because lestat isn't real

[madamora16]

i don't like that Lestat ...it ugly ....but i would love to see it ....

[yumichan89]

You think Hugh Panaro is ugly? Wow. That's a first...

[forooghOlovesOacting]

AMAZING! I didn't see it though. Oh my God I love •••vampires•••

Also watch my video(s)

~♥foroogh♥~

[whitewolf200]

i wanna see that musical so bad T_T but to far way and cost way to much, they should bring the musical to dvd so people wanna see can buy it ^_^

[xxxprxxxprincess]

thats true! i agree with u

[lestatspawnofmagnus]

what an ugly cchoice of Lestat what a shame good music though...even if its elton john... but then again its elton johns darker shit...so

[glauran]

My god... I just hate Hugh's voice so much. Drew Sarich made a MUCH better Lestat, while it lasted.

[annaleevega]

i thought for sure he was going to say "..and now i will dance!"

[glauran]

Hahahaha! That would have been the absolute best.

[rainbowspotter]

COME BACK!!!! I WANT TO SEE YOU!!! You've left. Release the soundtrack now!!!

[soadgirl142a7x]

It sucks ass that I didnt get to see it T.T I wanted to

[buffymayfair]

dont diss it till you see it....i was very put off by the idea...but i went and i saw it....i loved it it had more to do with the real lestat then eather of the movie's, i am sad to here that it is no longer playing, but it was great whail it lasted.

[DefyGravity464]

There is an online petition you can sign. :)

[rainbowspotter]

Lestat has finaly been put to rest on may 28th 2006. I'm so disappointed that I never saw it. grrr. Now the soundtrack isn't coming out! Does any one know how to contact Bernie Taupin? Do you guys have his email address or something because I need to write him a letter!

[seldombreath]

actually...I COULD envision anne rice's works into a musical, since it's so dramatic and all.. but yea elton john come onnnn.. and lestat using an ibook to tell his story? oh good GOD. that's not even right, and talk about completely ruining the atmosphere..

[darrentom]

This has to be good only if it's filled with gothic and deep opera music. God STRIKE ME DOWN if this thing has crap music in it... oh god.. Elton John.. Rocket Man.. nooooo!! WHY ANNE WHY!!

[YourEverydayMistake]

*Cheers, brings out the party utensils and such*

I mean: Oh, oh that's too bad..

Thanks for catching me on that one. :P

[YourEverydayMistake]

That's repulsive.. Lestat is NOT a fucking musical character. No. This is really disgusting. I heard only terrible reviews, and I hope it doesn't show for over a week.

This is going to suck out the ass.

[biglittlekid]

*Cough* a bit late there. The show opened and closed a few months ago. lol

[Amkii]

COOOOOOOL!!!
