| Lestat to close on Broadway Wednesday, May 24 2006 |
The new Elton John-Bernie Taupin musical, Lestat, will close on May 28, 2006, a mere month after it opened at the Palace Theatre on April 25, 2006.
It will have played 33 preview and 39 regular performances.
The musical about the soul-searching vampire Lestat opened to some of the most blistering reviews of the season. It collected only two Tony Award nominations, for actress Carolee Carmello and costume designer Susan Hilferty.
The show underwent some major surgery following the troubled tryout. The curtain went up on "Lestat" on Broadway March 25, 2006. The first preview coincided with Elton John's 59th birthday.
"Lestat" had its world premiere December 17, 2005 - January 29, 2006 at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco.
"Lestat" is Elton John's third musical for Broadway following "The Lion King" and "Aida". He also wrote songs for the smash London musical "Billy Elliott", which has yet to be announced for a Broadway bow.
