Lestat Preview Concert Video

oh that was so exciting! cant wait till march comes so i can see it!

Dang it, they never let the songs play out... I thought it sounded good though.

i wanted more!!... i was kind of surprised when elton flat out said it was bernie's best.. has he done better?? anyways, got my tix for march..cant wait!

oh yay! Thank you. I have been dying to hear the cast. Why couldn't they play the songs a bit more, I was like 'shut up Elton we want to hear the music!' lol

Yeah, tell me about it. I am really looking forward to this musical and just wanted to hear the damn songs.

Yeah, I wanted to hear more of the songs! From what we did get from that clip, the songs all sounded alike and pretty predictable.

However, that was with the two second clips of the songs, because of the narrator, and the dialogue with Elton and Bernie. Did we really need to see that part? I'll admit, it was interesting to get a view from the composers, but c'mon! We hardly heard any music! I myself am enticed about this show, because I like the vampire element, but if I didn't have that enticement, and only saw that video, sadly I'd have to say I wouldn't want (at this point) to see the show. But only time will tell, as we are able to hear more from this score, featuring the talents of Hugh Panaro, Carolee Carmello, Jack Noseworthy and the rest of the cast. Thanks for the link, however!

Oh, Hugh sounds fantastic. *swoon*

ok, I understand that it is just a concert and it was pre rehersals, but am I the only one who thought the young girl sounded like she was at a concert in HS and not preparing for a broadway role? I am not attacking her, just when she sings "i'm innocent and charmin," I cringed. Curious.

Easily better than Elton's version.

"I was watching Oprah today and they ran an ad for Lestat. I can't believe it's almost here!"

Wow really? In NYC or San Fran?

well, the "little girl" is seventeen year old Allison Fischer who does indeed play Claudia. I don't think that it is fair to judge her, or the show based on the video. A) it was filmed on the second day of rehearsal and B) they had one day to learn the tunes before getting up in front of the audience in attendence. the songs sound amazing with the full orchestra orchestrations. Some are better then others just as some sound more distinctly "elton john" which may not please everyone.
