Tom Hewitt as Dracula
Drink deep... and live forever! Join us for a terrifying and passionate new musical
based on one of the most frightening novels ever written.

Des McAnuff, artistic director at the La Jolla Playhouse, has brought together the extraordinary creative team of Christopher Hampton, Don Black and Frank Wildhorn for this project. Together, they have created Dracula, The Musical, a thrilling drama of suspense and a Gothic romance of dreamlike temptation. Set in Europe at the end of the Victorian Age, the production follows Dracula's lust for new blood and a small band of mortal men and women who must face his overwhelming seduction and mesmeric supernatural powers.

You can discuss the show and receive news announcements on the DraculaMusical Mailing List.
