Fun fact: when Hugh sang this at his audition for Lestat (he had never worked on this song before), apparently either Bernie or Elton came up to him afterwards and said that how Hugh sang it was EXACTLY how he pictured it to be sung. Lestat had SO much potential. So did Dance of the Vampires. I say we should revive both, and rework them to be better (in the case of Dance of the Vampires, making it closer to the original version than the other one was).
His name is Hugh Panaro and you should look up him in phantom I saw him in phantom and fell in love with him he is such a sweet guy and he is really funny. Plus he sings like an angel.
LESTAT When stars are born. Are they cast out? To wander cold and lonely lost in space. A loveless point of light That can't return. Forever fixed within one place. When love is lost and dreams are cast. Like bruised and battered pieces left to die. When hands that reach out are betrayed. How can my tortured soul survive? There's only one thing left. And that's the one thing that I needed most of all. But the freedom that I've gained Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore. And I'm borne high on these waves. Swept by the wind and alone. Sail me away, carry me back to my home. I'm tired, I've been torn. A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones. Oh sail me away. Carry me back to my home. These scars run deep. The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away. My callous shadows mock. And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay. The moment time stands still Is the moment that the writing's on the walls. The words are clear as ringing bells That pride is present right before the fall. And I'm borne high on these waves. Swept by the wind and alone. Oh, sail me away. Carry me back to my home. I'm tired, I've been torn. A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones. Oh sail me away. Carry me back to my home. Sail me away! Carry me back to my home!
@Gahoyify I was lucky to see Hugh as Erik (or the Phantom) back in the summer of '05 for Upward Bound. And he was amazing. I was supposed to see him as Lestat, that next summer when I graduated high school.... but the show was canceled a couple months before my mother could get the tickets
Um the book amongst other reasons. Fun fact: when Hugh sang this during his audition for Lestat (despite never having heard this song before), he was told by Bernie that the way he sang the song was EXACTLY what he had in mind for the character.
Watched Hugh as the phantom (Via youtube) He was AMAZING. And he rocks at this song! So beautifullll!!!! EVERYONE WATCH HIM AS THE PHANTOM NOW. NOWW!!!!
@angelicdemon696969 Wow! :o I live in Australia, so its impossible for me to ever see Hugh in anything OTL And its sad about Lestat as well, Hugh and Drew were both so fabulous in it, but the show just didn't work :( Its such a shame because the music was so beautiful :(
These are the promotional recordings. I have them in Mp3 format. They were given to promote the San Francisco production back in 2006. There are eight tracks.

What a hidden treasure of Broadway. Absolutely beautiful. I want to sing this one day.

LESTAT
When stars are born.
Are they cast out?
To wander cold and lonely lost in space.
A loveless point of light
That can't return.
Forever fixed within one place.
When love is lost and dreams are cast.
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die.
When hands that reach out are betrayed.
How can my tortured soul survive?
There's only one thing left.
And that's the one thing that I needed most of all.
But the freedom that I've gained
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore.
And I'm borne high on these waves.
Swept by the wind and alone.
Sail me away, carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn.
A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones.
Oh sail me away.
Carry me back to my home.
These scars run deep.
The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away.
My callous shadows mock.
And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay.
The moment time stands still
Is the moment that the writing's on the walls.
The words are clear as ringing bells
That pride is present right before the fall.
And I'm borne high on these waves.
Swept by the wind and alone.
Oh, sail me away.
Carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn.
A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones.
Oh sail me away.
Carry me back to my home.
Sail me away!
Carry me back to my home!
I'm still mad that a cast recording was made of this show and never released.
Definitely my favorite song from the musical, it's so beautiful
Yeah he's absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to see him as the Phantom last Christmas, seeing him again this October.
This song makes me feel incredibly nostalgic :)
Same
I can not describe how much I love Lestat much. I hope to have the opportunity to watch the show again.
absulutly beautful a song for fallen angels.
My fav song from the show!
i love Lestat! X3
Wow, best quality I have ever found. Thank you!

This music is really good. How come this bombed on Broadway?
Um the book amongst other reasons.

Do u know the name of the actor that sings this song???
If you can! He's amazing :) There are certain scenes hiding here and there :D
Again, Hugh Panaro has a fine voice. I don't like the musical, but Panaro performs it beautifully.
Where did you get the tracks, and what version is this? I jut have the San Francisco one.
