Get ready for a fang-tastic night out with Dracapella, a riotous reimagining of the classic Dracula tale like you’ve never seen it before.

With big songs, bigger laughs, and huge fangs, this world premiere will have you in stitches from start to finish. Don’t miss this acapella-infused comedy that puts a hilarious spin on Bram Stoker’s gothic classic.

Starring Ako Mitchell (The Lion King) as Dracula, Olivier Award winner Stephen Ashfield (The Book of Mormon) as Harker, Olivier Award winner Lorna Want (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) as Mina, and Tony and Drama Desk nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) as Lucy, Dracapella also features Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Ciarán Dowd, actor and composer Philip Pope, and world champion beatboxer Alex Hackett (ABH).

Dracapella runs from 3 December 2025 – 17 January 2026 at Park Theatre, London.

This festive season, sink your teeth into Dracapella, where an eight-strong cast brings Dracula to life with an unexpected twist. With acapella renditions of jukebox hits like Queen’s Somebody to Love and The Platters’ The Great Pretender, expect toe-tapping tunes, mind-blowing harmonies, and a wickedly witty Count Dracula on a quest for eternal love.

Written by Dan Patterson (creator of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Mock the Week) and Jez Bond (creator of Whodunnit [Unrehearsed]), Dracapella delivers madcap comedy, monster mashups, and a bloody good time.

Book your tickets now for a night you won’t forget!

An estate agent from London.
A mysterious count from Transylvania.
An ensemble of mind-blowing vocal talents.
Zero logic.

When Harker sets off to Transylvania to sell a crumbling castle to a mysterious client, he doesn’t expect to wind up in a love triangle – or is that a square? – involving his wife, her best friend, and one very melodramatic vampire.
