DOESN'T IT BITE FIRST, THEN SUCK? We love bad reviews and worse puns around here, and tonight marks the opening of Lestat on Broadway, which provides us with an ample opportunity for both. The Hollywood Reporter is the first to take a bite (sorry) out of the production, beginning with "They're not making it any easier to refrain from the inevitable comment that 'it sucks.'" This post'll be updated with further reviews as they arrive.

Next up is Ben Brantley at the NYT, who manages to stay away from "bite" and "suck," but says that it "join[s] the ranks of Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata, and other prescription lullaby drugs. . . . Dare to look upon 'Lestat' and keep your eyelids from growing heavier and heavier and heavier."
