Dracula

Is anyone else getting excited about DRACULA? There will be flying vampires. A concept you'd think WICKED would would have thought of since they actually have a song about flying though the witch is only raised by mechanical lift(as if that's never been done before.) Is anyone else more impressed by Audrey II coming out over the audience than the witch and dress effect?

re: Dracula

I saw the production in La Jolla, and yes. The flying effects were much better than that of WICKED. Although they looked more like ghosts or spirits than flying vampires, but yes. It's still cool. I wont get to see it on Broadway, but I'm glad I saw it in La Jolla and I can't wait for the new CD.

re: Dracula

I was kind of bribed into going by a friend of mine and I haven't been too excited about it. (I'm going to see it July 28th I think.) Has anyone heard music from it? Is it typical Wildhorn?

re: Dracula

ive got a demo cd of it and the music does sound like his usual style and it is OUTSTANDING!! There's a song called "A Perfect Life" that's going to be the next "In His Eyes" or "Someone like you" hit song of the show. Some say the music is even BETTER than Jekyll & Hyde and I don't doubt it!

re: Dracula

To me, the score is a step up for Frank Wildhorn. Making the obvious comparison to Jekyll, Dracula features more of a period sound. Sure, Mina has some soaring, lyrical ballads ("A Perfect Life," "The Heart Is Slow to Learn," "If I Had Wings" and her duet with Jonathan, "Over Whitby Bay") that you'd might expect from Wildhorn, but then, there's a more mysterious Slavic sound for Dracula and his minions ("Forever Young," "A Quiet Life" "Fresh Blood"). Renfield has a haunted waltz ("The Master's Song"), and there are ensemble numbers ("How Can You Choose?" "Modern World") that sound like operetta. In other words, he's now writing for character and situation, and that's an improvement.

re: Dracula

J.- you were just bitching in another thread that you couldn't get tickets to wicked, now, is it me or have you spent more time bitching about Idina not flying than anything else about the show or cast?
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

re: Dracula

BroadwayGirl107, I'll try, but I'm going to see Big River tomorrow (for the second time!), so I'll probably have my work cut out for me by the time I get home. re: Dracula

re: Dracula

So, how many new songs have been written? When I saw the show in La Jolla the song list was as follows:

ACT ONE
“Prologue”
“A Quiet Life”
“One More Lonely Night”
“First Taste”
“Fresh Blood”
“The Master’s Song”
“How Do You Choose?”
“The Mist”
“There is a Love”
“One More Lonely Night” (reprise)
“The Wedding Song”
“Nosferatu”
“The Invitation”
“Prayer for the Dead”
“Van Helsing’s Proposal”
“Prayer for the Dead” (reprise)

ACT TWO
“The Mist” (reprise)
“Risks Worth Taking”
“The Master’s Song” (reprise)
“The Heart is Slow to Learn”
“There’s Always a Tomorrow”
“Deep in the Darkest Night”
“Before the Summer Ends”
“I’ll Be Waiting For You”
“Deep in the Darkest Night” (reprise)
“The Heart is Slow to Learn” (reprise)
“Finale”

How many new songs should I expect? Has anything been cut??? Gha! I hope they don't cut "Before the Summer Ends" it was a pointless song, but I loved it.... and I hope the new lighting designer doesn't screw with the original too much... ugh...

re: Dracula

Cats -

There are quite a few changes from the La Jolla version. Going from what I know, "One More Lonely Night" remains, but with new lyrics as "Over Whitby Bay". "First Taste" has been replaced with a shorter, similar song called "Forever Young". Several other songs have been added to Act One: "Modern World" (for the ensemble), "A Perfect Life" for Mina, and "Life After Life" for Dracula and Lucy, which ends Act One. "Nosferatu" has been trimmed considerably and "Van Helsing's Proposal" cut. I believe "Before the Summer Ends" is now "Jonathan's Promise" (I'm not sure of the title). As for Act Two, "If I Had Wings" has been added for Mina, "The Longer I Live" for Dracula, and "Please Don't Make Me Love You" for Dracula and Mina. So about six new songs have been added since La Jolla, while others have been rewritten.
