Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors Tickets

Drac is back. In the new play Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, a meek and mild English real estate agent finds a mysterious new client in the eerie mountains of Transylvania. Count Dracula can’t be an easy client, but he’s no match for a fierce, female vampire slayer: Jean Van Helsing. Jean and her ragtag company chase Drac from Transylvania to the British countryside to London and back, all in a snappy 90 minute one-act that gets your pulse thumping and causes blood-curdling screams — of laughter.

Pop culture references zip by like bats in this new comedy complete with gender-bending, quick-changing, and laugh-out-loud antics. This reimagining of Dracula is sure to send a shiver down your spine — and funny bone.

What to watch for

• Canadian actor James Daly plays Dracula, and an ensemble of four tackles the many other roles in this play. That group includes Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Broadway’s Tuck Everlasting), Arnie Burton (Broadway’s Peter and the Starcatcher), Ellen Harvey (Broadway’s Present Laughter), and Jordan Boatman (Elliot Norton Award winner for The Niceties).
• Co-writer and director Gordon Greenberg is working with Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz on a Picasso bio-musical starring Antonio Banderas. He also directed the London production of Guys & Dolls starring Rebel Wilson.
• Co-writer Steve Rosen is also a theatre alum with five Drama Desk Award nominations and two Lucille Lortel Award nominations.
• Adventurous producers sank their teeth into this show. Drew and Dane Productions co-produced many hits, including Hadestown and Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway. They also won a Drama Desk Award for producing Little Shop of Horrors, a fellow Off-Broadway horror comedy.
