Description

Inverclyde Youth Theatre (Kayos) presents: Dracula The Musical with music by Frank Wildhorn and book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton.

Dracula, the Musical is a thrilling drama of suspense and a Gothic romance of dreamlike temptation based on the world-famous novel by Bram Stoker, from the extraordinary team of Christopher Hampton, Don Black and Frank Wildhorn (“Jekyll and Hyde”, “Bonnie & Clyde”, “The Scarlet Pimpernel”).

Set in Europe at the end of the Victorian era, the story follows Count Dracula, as he lusts for new blood from Transylvania to England. Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray fall victim to Dracula’s unnatural charm, and along with Dr. Van Helsing, must fight Dracula’s supernatural powers.

Dracula, the Musical will be performed in the atmospheric setting of The Old West Kirk. 

The talented performers of Kayos will be accompanied by a live band comprised of professional musicians and local young people.
