Final casting has been announced for the London premiere of hit Off-Broadway show Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors.
The show is coming to the Menier Chocolate Factory in London next month, from 8 March to 3 May 2025.
Already announced for Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is the New York star of the show James Daly (La Cage aux Folles, Wendy and Peter Pan) as Dracula; West End award-winner Dianne Pilkington (The Wizard of Oz, Young Frankenstein, Wicked) as Dr. Westfeldt and others; three-time Olivier Award-nominee Charlie Stemp (Kiss Me Kate, Crazy For You) as Jonathan Harker and others; and Safeena Ladha (The 39 Steps, The Great Gatsby) as Lucy Westfeldt and others.
They will be joined by West End star Sebastien Torkia (The Red Shoes, Matilda The Musical, The Mousetrap) as Mina Westfeldt and Van Helsing.
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors reimagines Bram Stoker’s Dracula with a Gen Z pansexual Count Dracula in the midst of an existential crisis. The talented cast switch costumes and roles during this freewheeling send-up, that plays with sexuality and gender norms to celebrate goth, camp, and the magic of live theatre itself.
The show is co-written and directed by Gordon Greenberg (The Baker’s Wife, Barnum – Menier Chocolate Factory) and co-written by Steve Rosen, with the creative team also including Set Design by Tijana Bjelajac, Costume Design by Tristan Raines, Lighting Design by Ben Cracknell, and Sound Design by Yvonne Gilbert.
Dracula enjoyed a successful run Off-Broadway, playing New World Stages until January last year; and is running in London at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 8 March to 3 May 2025.
Currently playing at the Menier is The Producers, until 1 March 2025.
