Forget everything you think you know about Dracula.
At least, that is what Dracula: The Musical wants you to do. And this August, audiences won’t simply be watching the legendary vampire—they’ll find themselves trapped inside his world. After all, vampires don’t belong on a distant stage. They belong right beside you.
The Nocturne Theatre’s production of Dracula: The Musical runs for a limited engagement, transforming the historic theatre-in-the-round into an immersive gothic world where no audience member is more than a few feet from the action. With a live rock orchestra, soaring operatic vocals, aerial vampires flying overhead, cinematic special effects, and Frank Wildhorn’s haunting score performed live, this is less a traditional musical than an all-encompassing theatrical event.
About Dracula: The Musical
Based on Bram Stoker’s immortal novel, Dracula: The Musical follows Count Dracula’s obsessive pursuit of Mina Murray, a woman he believes to be the reincarnation of his lost love. As desire turns to terror and immortality collides with faith, Mina, Jonathan Harker, and Professor Van Helsing must confront one of literature’s greatest monsters before darkness consumes them all.
According to those behind this musical, this production has been one that encapsulates all of the best things about gothic literature, as well as the enduring allure of the vampire. With Dracula: The Musical, fans get to experience everything that they have hoped for and more.
“Dracula has always been one of literature’s most seductive villains. We wanted audiences to feel like they had stepped inside one of the grand gothic films—where the music shakes the room, vampires fly overhead, blood spills only inches away, and every seat feels like the front row. It’s visceral, emotional, frightening, and surprisingly romantic.”
Rarely produced in the United States, Dracula: The Musical offers theatergoers a unique opportunity to experience this beloved cult favorite in an intimate, immersive environment unlike any other in Southern California. This is an experience fans do not want to miss, so make sure you get your tickets! They are sure to sell quickly.
