Phantom plays Lestat

The Phantom of the Opera is the only musical I've ever seen performed live. I saw it at Her Majesty's Theatre in London's West End. From Monsters and Critics:

Elton John and Bernie Taupin`s new Broadway musical "Lestat" has signed "Phantom" Hugh Panaro to star as the chief vampire. Panaro, currently playing the title role in "The Phantom of the Opera," will be joined by Jack Noseworthy and Jim Stanek in the new show based on Anne Rice`s "Vampire Chronicles," Daily Variety reported Wednesday.

I scooped Variety on this a long time ago.
