Count Dracula, the world's most famous vampire, returns to the New York stage in DRACULA by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, based on the eponymous novel by Bram Stoker, began previews December 14, prior to its official press opening last night, January 5 at the Little Shubert Theatre (442 West 42nd Street).

Based on the world-famous novel by Bram Stoker, DRACULA is the classic Gothic drama about the power of seduction and the nature of true love. When the mysterious Count Dracula takes an interest in the beautiful, young Lucy who suffers from horrific dreams and a strange illness, he arouses the suspicions of her fiancé Jonathan Harker and Professor Abraham van Helsing. Following a series of grisly murders and unexplained occurrences, the men fear Dracula may be one of the undead that prowls the darkness and preys upon innocent souls.
George Hearn leads the cast as Abraham Van Helsing. Emily Bridges stars as Dracula's love interest Lucy Seward. Jake Silbermann is set to portray Jonathan Harker. John Buffalo Mailer portrays Renfield. In the role of Dr. Seward is Timothy Jerome.
DRACULA is produced by Bram Stoker's Dracula LLC, Tony Travis, George and Donna Shipley, Ed Bankole, Megan Barnett, Leslie Evers, Michael Alden, and Carolyn Bechtel.
Performances of DRACULA run December 14-March 13 at the Little Shubert Theatre (442 West 42nd Street):
