Park Theatre has unveiled the cast for its new Christmas musical comedy Dracapella, including The Greatest Showman star Keala Settle and West End favourites Ako Mitchell, Stephen Ashfield and Lorna Want. The show runs in Park200 from 3 December 2025 to 17 January 2026.

Written by Jez Bond and Dan Patterson (creators of Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] and Mock the Week), Dracapella offers a madcap twist on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Expect flying capes, mistaken bites, and a cappella covers of classics from Somebody to Love to Eye of the Tiger.

  • Ako Mitchell (The Lion King, Ragtime) takes on the role of Dracula
  • Olivier Award winner Stephen Ashfield (The Book of Mormon) plays Harker
  • Olivier Award winner Lorna Want (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) is Mina
  • Keala Settle, Tony and Drama Desk nominee, and star of The Greatest Showman, appears as Lucy
  • Joining them are Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Ciarán Dowd, actor and composer Philip Pope, and world champion beatboxer Alex Hackett (ABH)

Directed by Jez Bond, the production promises “madcap comedy, monster mashups and a bloody good time.”
