Previews began a few days ago for Dracula/Frankenstein Rep at Classic Stage. Any reports yet? And anyone know the runtimes of the two productions?

I'm more curious about Frankenstein. The description of Dracula is a little off putting.

I saw Dracula at the first preview. I enjoyed it though i found it flawed. This is a feminist take on Dracula which focuses on two of the least interesting characters rather than Dracula himself.
The tone in this varies from trying to be scary, to having a goofy, over the top feeling. Van Helsing (Jessica Franes Duke) is given the "sassy black woman" trope and while it livened things up I didn't think it totally worked.
I think they could lean into the horror more and I did not care of the blood effect.
Still I liked Matthew Amendt as Dracula and did find some fun with the text. I assume they will use the same set (which I liked) for Frankenstein which I will try to catch.

Adored Frankenstein! Filled to the brim with fresh creative energy, and Rob Morrison’s score is a stunning achievement. Can’t recommend this production enough, help fill their houses because they deserve the support.

I didn't know Rob Morrison was in Frankenstein. Now I need to see it.
