Book and Lyrics by Christopher Hampton and Don Black
Based on the novel by Bram Stoker
Original Direction by Des McAnuff
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.
