"ELTON John is about to descend on his much-maligned new musical "Lestat," and the cast and crew are gnawing their nails. Tomorrow night, the Elton John flotilla ...will sail into the Curran Theater in San Francisco, where the superstar composer will get his first look at this troubled Broadway-bound show...A production source says Warner Bros.,which is producing the $12 million musical, has told the creative team that, unless the changes are sweeping and effective, the lid on the "Lestat" coffin will be hammered shut in San Francisco. "They've been given an ultimatum: Solve the problems, or you're not coming in," says a source..."Is Elton going to give the go-ahead to a show that could be his first flop?" (c) New Yourk Post
По-русски коротко:
Продюсеры постановки сказали коллективу: "Либо вы переделываете все, что было плохо, и исправляете постановку, либо Бродвея вам не видать". Элтон Джон вылетает самолично в Сан-Франциско заниматься этими проблемами.
Дело серьезно, оказывается.

I don't know where the next thing [=great musical] is coming from. 15 or 20 years ago I thought that was going to happen once the Iron Curtain fell, that the country that produced Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich was where we should be looking and where something would happen. But there's been 'sweet FA'. (c) Andrew Lloyd Webber
