From ChatGPT

"Lestat" is a musical with music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin, and book by Linda Woolverton. The musical is based on Anne Rice's novel "The Vampire Lestat", which is part of her popular "Vampire Chronicles" series. The musical follows the story of Lestat de Lioncourt, a French aristocrat who becomes a vampire in the 18th century. Lestat struggles to reconcile his vampire nature with his desire to maintain his humanity, and he embarks on a quest to discover the origins of his kind. The show premiered in San Francisco in 2005 and then moved to Broadway later that year, where it ran for only 39 performances. Despite the short run, "Lestat" received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the music and performances while criticizing the book and direction. Hugh Panaro originated the role of Lestat on Broadway, and the cast also included Carolee Carmello, Jim Stanek, and Allison Fischer. The production was directed by Robert Jess Roth, with choreography by Matt West. Despite its short-lived Broadway run, "Lestat" has gained a cult following among fans of Anne Rice's novels and musical theater enthusiasts. The show's cast recording, featuring the original Broadway cast, is still available and has been praised for its strong vocal performances and memorable songs.}
