About the Album: Review
This is, in my opinion, the absolute best Dracula musical ever made. For years it was frustrating that the official English concept recording was so rare. For the longest time you could only seem to find it in German. The English version is absolutely gorgeous. --Amazon MP3

This recording tells the story of Dracula, with a few twists... An all-star lineup of some of Broadway's legendary voices -- Including new songs that were never heard in the Broadway production! This recording was produced by Frank Wildhorn and Jeremy Roberts -- the team that brought you Jekyll & Hyde 'Resurrection' and countless 'pop-theater' favorites. This is a studio album -- it is not related to any staged version of the musical -- and that gave the artists an opportunity to 'simply' tell their story in the studio environment...

Review: DORIAN: THE MUSICAL, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina
- July 11, 2024
However, penned by Joe Evans (score and lyrics) and Linnie Reedman (book and direction), Dorian is an awkward production that’s supposedly adapting the mores and morals of the time for a social media-obsessed audience. They reimagine the protagonist as a lonely rocker who gains overnight popularity after producer Harry Wotton takes him under his wing. Basil Hallward becomes Baz, a celebrity photographer charmed by the young star, while Sibyl Vane is a besotted opera singer. We wish we could say it works, but the team desecrates the original material - and not in a good way. Sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll have never looked so dull and unappealing.

Review: THE COLOR PURPLE Brings All the Feels at Pittsburgh CLO
by Greg Kerestan
- June 28, 2024
As a literature major, part of me has always found it unbelievable that tight, two-hour adaptations of Alice Walker's The Color Purple have been so successful. The novel is sprawling, complex and dense, with an epistolary structure not unlike the similarly tricky-to-adapt Dracula. Nonetheless, my structural cynicism is always proved wrong.
