| Lestat on 'life support' Sunday, May 7 2006 |
Slow ticket sales and scathing reviews may drive a stake through Elton John's $10 million vampire Broadway musical, "Lestat," it was reported on May 5, 2006.
The show is pulling in only about $50,000 a day, about $40,000 a day short of what is needed to stay in the black, the New York Post reported.
Although producer Warner Bros. is planning a TV ad campaign in an effort to boost attendance, Broadway insiders predict the show will fold before the June 11, 2006 Tony Awards, the newspaper said.
The Post said producers of "The Pajama Game," "Curtains" and "Legally Blonde" are already circling around the Palace, hoping to snag the venue for their shows if "Lestat" should close prematurely.
