Since its debut Oct. 18th, 'Lovelace: A Rock Opera' has received critical acclaim from the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Weekly, Entertainment Tonight, Backstage West, Frontiers Magazine and other media. Earning a 'Critic's Choice' Review, the Los Angeles Times said, 'We are undeniably watching something original, at once refined and electrifying. Throughout, 'Lovelace' operates in an Expressionist whirl -- silhouetted sex tableaux, waitresses-turned-strippers before our eyes, a campy 'Silicone Injection' sequence, ad infinitum. Propelled by Waronker and Caffey's restless, accomplished score, the show takes a nonjudgmental attitude toward porn and an unyielding stance on female exploitation. It's remarkable how well it works. Finally, it's all about Katrina Lenk's heroine, and her raw yet potent singing and vast emotional range are immensely affecting. Her vital commitment mirrors that of ?Lovelace's' creators, and centers this cautionary theatrical cantata.'
Acclaimed director Ken Sawyer (The Woman in Black) brings his own vision (and additional scenes from Bram Stoker's original novel), to this adaptation which is a darker and sexier take on the legendary story; a tale of an evil ages old and yet forever new. Lucy Seward, whose mother is the doctor in charge of an English sanitorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, who is at last, found to be one Count Dracula - whose ghost is only able to be laid to rest in a particularly striking manner.
