Before noon, I reached Orchard Hotel in San Francisco. After check-in, the 1st thing to do it log on to internet and search for Musical Performance. Great, Currran Theatre, a musical Theatre near the hotel will be having the world Premier of 'Lestat' tonight. This is the 1st performance and also consider to be pre-Broadway performance. (It will be shown in New York Boradway only from 17 Aoril 06). Rushing to the box office in the rain, which is a few blocks away, I bought tomorrow evening ticket. (tonight, it left only seats with restricted view). Next, I went to Border Bookstore to buy some Christmas Gifts for my friends and colleagues.
Here is a short synosis for the Musical :
"Lestat, one of Anne Rice's most celebrated literary characters, is being brought to the stage in the first-ever collaboration of the legendary team of Sir Elton John (music) and Bernie Taupin (lyrics) on a Broadway production," according to the Curran. "Based on characters and incidents from Ms. Rice's best-selling novels, 'Interview with the Vampire' and 'The Vampire Lestat,' the book is by Linda Woolverton and Robert Jess Roth directs."
Lestat "is the lush and rich story of a man who escapes the tyranny of his oppressive family only to have his life taken from him. Thrust into the seductive and sensual world of an immortal vampire, Lestat tries to reconcile his innate sense of good with his primal need to exist."
