Oh man that's a funny thought, having Lestat sing those songs.
I think Elton John wrote all new songs specifically for this show, whether his style of music will work for a full on broadway show, not so sure. I never really got into his other shows like Aida, which was co-written with Tim Rice. Who knows.
I'm just remembering how Tom Hewitt (who got a Tony nom for his portrayal of Frank n Furter in the B'way Rocky) and his show called 'Dracula' was such a huge flop last year. I don't know why they think they can pull this off, especially since Anne Rice has such a strong fan base. Eh.
