Anne Rice’s Castrati Coming To Stage
I wasn’t one of those theatrical critics who used the occasion of “Lestat,” a musical based on Anne Rice’s vampire work, to empty my bladder. So I can honestly say that I am hugely looking forward to the musical in the pipeline based on my favorite Rice novel, “Cry To Heaven.” Set within the operatic world of the male castrati in 18th century Italy, the musical will have music by Academy Award-nominated composer Matthew Wilder (“Mulan,” “Princesses”).
