Let me preface that I have not seen DIANA. While LESTAT was dreadful, there were some good moments in the score (but, I think Carolee Carmello could make any tune sound better than it probably is). Also, they did make fairly major changes between the SF tryout and Broadway (I saw both). The changes did not help. On the fence about seeing DIANA in the theatre for schlock value alone so avoiding the Netflix recording until I decide.

In 'Lestat,' it had to be Hugh

Hugh Panaro had two terrific solos in ''Lestat.'' One was the soaring ''Sail Me Away,'' and it can be found on YouTube.

The other was ''Right Before My Eyes,'' and Hugh beautifully reprised it at our ''Leading Men II'' concert for Broadway Cares.

Agreed on his performance. I just wish the material had been better. I actually preferred the SF version the ending was ridiculous but beautiful to look at.

Yeah, some of the music was darn good

Two bits stay with me:
The little girl singing More More More and Carolle Carmello in her Pirate outfit, or whatever it was, standing centre stage belting out some great song that made no sense.
