Three-time Oscar nominee and TONY, Emmy and Grammy winner CYNTHIA ERIVO is DRACULA.
Acclaimed star of Wicked, Harriet, Genius: Aretha, and The Colour Purple, Cynthia Erivo transforms into all 23 roles in TONY Award nominated adaptor and director Kip Williams’ intoxicating, blood-pumping reimagining of the immortal gothic horror.
Deep in the desolate wilderness stands a crumbling castle; a mysterious presence lurking within. For centuries, Count Dracula has waited in hiding. Now, this phantom is coming out of the shadows. As the Count sets his sights on a fresh target, a new kind of terror begins – seductive, unstoppable and dangerously addictive.
First staged by Sydney Theatre Company in 2024, visionary theatre-maker Kip Williams reunites with the genre-defying creative team behind the Olivier Award-winning production of The Picture of Dorian Gray to take his groundbreaking style of cinetheatre to new, heart pounding, heights.
Experience the paragon of horror stories unlike ever before in this unmissable theatre event.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Dracula
Dracula review – Cynthia Erivo’s magnificent modern bloodsucker is defanged in one-woman show
4 / 10
Erivo gives us a tantalising taste of her singing voice towards the end and it raises your hopes but is aborted into a few – exquisitely sung – lines rather than a song. It’s sad that the production plays so little of Erivo’s strengths, which might better have been reconceived as Dracula the Musical.
Lacks bite
4 / 10
Erivo seems ill at ease with the material. There’s a hesitancy about her performance, as if she were wrong-footed by the technology that surrounds her. A scattering of arch, self-conscious moments and sly humour are part of the deal in Williams’ interpretation, but nothing feels truly felt and, as she switches between characters, the individual voices are not always properly differentiated. The overall effect is slightly ramshackle, sluggish and, in the end, frustratingly short on dash and drama.
