Photos: First Look At The Colonial's DRACULA
Based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel of gothic horror, the legendary vampire Dracula descends on the Colonial from August 11 through 27.
Directed by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winner, David Auburn, Dracula has been striking fear into the hearts of people around the world for over a hundred years. Auburn says, "We are excited to revive the 1924 Dracula in a bracing new production that honors the legendary history of this classic shocker, while embracing a 21st century perspective on power, sex and seduction. Innovative design, music and movement elements will contribute to the spooky, thrilling fun in the atmospheric Colonial Theatre."
