Johnny Doo Wop Dracula (A Drac-apella Musical) Musical) at Theater For The New City

GREASE MEETS TWILIGHT – in Emmy Award winning, Regional Tony Award winning writer and director, William Electric Black’s bopping Drac-apella Musical – JOHNNY DOO WOP DRACULA. Former Sesame Street writer, William Electric Black aka Ian Ellis James,  and an ensemble of 10 actors go back in time to 1955, Pittsburgh, PA where we meet a singing, swinging vampire named Johnny Dracula. He comes to Pennsylvania, because it sounds like Transylvania, to put a bite on the local teens. But not with his fangs. He’s a doo wop singing vampire who just arrived to make a name for himself in the music scene. A guy named Elvis is starting to stir things up but Johnny convinces Leon Leon, the owner of the local Soda Pop Shop to give him a chance to prove that he’s also got the sound to make the local teenager shake, rattle, and bop. And with the recent death of teen idol James Dean, Peggy Lombardi, along with the other broken hearted fans, could really use a new teen rebel. Golly gee, is Johnny the one she’s been dreaming about, the one to mend her broken heart? This immersive, 11 musical number production is a fun filled FANGTASTIC time that will have you clapping, snapping, eating twinkies, rice pudding, popcorn and sipping on a coke with a TRANSYLVANIA KID THAT HAS BOPPIN' AS HIS BIZ! ***Running time 85 minutes - no intermission https://ci.ovationtix.com/35441/production/1265157
