Dracula's life after life

I implore all to go see this wonderful, dark show about Romance and death. The music is very catchy and the actors are absolutely amazing. If for anything, the special effects are the best on Broadway!

Each week, the show is raking in more money. Do not let this show close. It has been changing for the better - let's keep it on Broadway!

Please go see it everyone! It is worth it to see Tom Hewitt singing in all his glory.

Go, have fun, and be thrilled!

Wildhorn wants one, but if the show doesn't last....

Sorry folks, but it's already a done deal that the Dutch producer of the show is pulling the plug in January (he's apprently tired of keeping it afloat as it loses money week after week). "Julius Caesar" starring Denzel Washington has booked the Belasco and will begin performances in March.

I don't expect Margo will answer that question,but I can second it.Most of what she said has been in playbill.com & other bway publications.There won't be a recording-too bad-some great voices in that show.

I'm going to this Saturday's matinee. Even if it sucks, at least I'll be able to say I saw it (not unlike the people who saw Bobbi Boland last year).

I'd be interested to see Denzel on BWAY

I think the Belasco is absolutely perfect for Dracula though.

Oh, well!

if the rest of the show is anything like that song Life after Life (after life after life after life after life after life ...well - you get the drift)..then I'll pass, thank you.

Well, it doesn't say Dracula's closing. I would guess you are probably right, but who knows. Maybe they will do another Scarlet-like rework. Who knows. I would like a cast recording though.

too bad,redhot-it's a flawed show but well worth seeing-pretty amazing sets,and again,some great voices.
It's also worth mentioning that there is actually no set closing date(though doubtless,it's likely to be sooner rather than later).Moving it isn't likely,for a variety of reasons.

I saw Dracula in both it's pre-Broadway run and it's Broadway performance and though I admit is has gotten less tedious the show still leaves much to be desired. The score (with the exception of Life after Life) is quite forgettable. And though I realize that there is an obvious need for Dracula to fly I feel that they over did it on that effect. After the twentieth time that you see Tom Hewitt fly across the stage in one two hour period it loses it's effectiveness. But if you can, go see it because it's always nice to be able to say that you saw a flop.

'After the twentieth time that you see Tom Hewitt fly across the stage in one two hour period it loses it's effectiveness.'

Absolutely. I didn't think it was as bad as some people say it is and quite enjoyed it actually. But the continuous flying just cracked me up... I was crying from laughter when poor Tom Hewitt kept flying across the stage, even if he had NOTHING to do with a scene. Apparently it's supposed to represent his presence even when he's not there! FANTASTIC!

HAHA, I must admit I thought that too.

As for life after life - the end works with the show when he flies up and turns into a bat!

I love when he disappears into the stage - that was amzing - but he seems dangerous!

ive been in the front row, he falls onto a trampoline with cushions on it

[QueenMuppet]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 6:02pm

Can't be a trampoline... he would just bounce right back onto stage! Imagine! They should have thought of that...

He falls into a pile of purple bean-bags, not a trampoline.

Not without a steak!

What's funny is in the original novel Dracula is killed after being decapitated by a rake. I guess some where along the way someone thought getting killed by a stake through the heart is a lot more effective.

Is he going to pour A-1 sauce on it first? Oh, you mean STAKE. My bad! LOL
