Dracula
He'll love you forever.
Seriously.
Forever.
What would you give up for love?
Broadway songwriter Frank Wildhorn (Bonnie & Clyde, Wonderland, Jekyll & Hyde) delivers his most epic score for this riveting, fast-paced, Gothic rock opera, faithful to the iconic novel but with some unexpected twists and turns.
As much a tragic love story as a thriller, this terrifying and passionate retelling of the famous story dives deep into the powerful, shattering emotions of these characters and these complicated relationships, as only musical theatre can. For Dracula, Wildhorn reunites with his Bonnie & Clyde lyricist Don Black, for one of the wildest and most emotional rides you’ve had in the theatre in a long time.
Once again, New Line will take a show that was badly served in New York and savaged by the critics, strip it down, take it seriously, and prove what a powerful piece of theatre it can be when it's focused on human emotions instead of flashy special effects. Since its debut, the show has become an international sensation in productions around the world.
The New Line production will be directed by Scott Miller and Chris Kernan, with choreography by Kernan, music direction by Dr. Jenna Lee Moore, costume design by Sarah Porter, scenic and lighting design by Rob Lippert, and sound design by Ryan Day.
Dracula is produced by arrangement with Music Theatre International, New York.
