Dracula reawakens.
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.
See it first from February 2026.
