And as DR Jason indicated earlier, Lestat will be based on the first two books of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles - "Interview With The Vampire" and "The Vampire Lestat". And since "The Vampire Lestat" actually comes first chronologically in the series - even though it was published second - that is the order we'll be taking things. Undoubtedly, due to the time span covered in both books, there has been a lot of judicious editing done. -There's enough material in just one of the books to make many musicals. But the musical will begin in the late 1700s, and come up to the present day.
