From the authors of Skanks in a One Horse Town and We Three Queens comes an exciting new musical comedy based on the classic novel by Bram Stoker. When young Jonathan Harker stops by the sinister looking Castle Dragula, he is immediately transfixed on the mysterious and dazzling lady of the house, who also happens to be a fabulous member of the undead. Meanwhile, in London, the beautiful Miss Lucy has fallen victim to a strange illness and the renowned Dr. Abraham Van Helsing is called in to investigate. Is Lucy’s illness somehow related to Harker’s new-found object of desire? Dragula: The Musical is an outrageous, toe-tapping comedy. Experience the haunting and bejeweled evening of entertainment that is…Dragula: The Musical!
