Elton John musical to open on Broadway

Published Tuesday, Apr 25 2006, 20:37 BST | By Miriam Zendle
Elton John's new musical is due to open on Broadway later this week.

The show, which is co-written by Bernie Taupin, centres around the life of 18th century French nobleman Lestat de Lioncourt, a character from an Anne Rice novel, and has already completed a pre-Broadway run.

The show has thusfar not received good reviews, with the San Francisco Chronicle calling it "didactic, disjointed, oddly miscast, confusingly designed and floundering in an almost unrelenting saccharine score by Elton John."
