DRACULA MUSICAL REVIEW from a recent issue of WHAT’S ON STAGE - The UK Theatre Magazine :

“Evita started as a concept album. Why not Dracula? This 70 minute CD has already gathered a battalion of fans (or should they be fangs?). It’s a powerful new Gothic musical that remains faithful to the original novel and has enough dramatic bite to keep you listening well beyond moonrise.

With music by Christopher J. Orton and Lyrics by Gareth Evans, the songs deliver just the right measure of dramatic passion to get the blood pumping. And when you’ve got one hell of a vocalist like Les Miserables stalwart Michael McCarthy hitting all the right notes in the title role, something really does begin to quiver on the side of the neck. First the concept. Then the concert? Next, the West End?”

A few points of fact:

1: The concept album was just that. A concept album of the proposed musical. Already, rewrites and edits are being undertaken, and new material written, for the recording of the complete work.

2: The character of “Dracula” in this musical is our interpretation of that very same cold and calculating character from Stoker’s original novel.
