'Lestat' delays previews and N.Y. openingBy MICHAEL KUCHWARAAssociated PressNEW YORK - "Lestat" may be looking for some fresh blood.
The Elton John-Bernie Taupin musical inspired by Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles" has canceled its first two weeks of preview performances in New York and delayed its Broadway opening until April 25. Previews at the Palace Theater will begin March 25. The initial opening date was April 13.
Choreographer Jonathan Butterell, who worked on "The Light in the Piazza" and the recent revival of "Fiddler on the Roof," has been brought in as a creative consultant the producers, Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, said in a statement yesterday.
The musical received scorching reviews during its San Francisco tryout, which ended Jan. 29. The San Francisco Chronicle called the show "didactic, disjointed, oddly miscast, confusingly designed and floundering in an almost unrelentingly saccharine score by Elton John."
