Auditions: Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

Dracula

Commanding European Dialect. Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome, rock star presence with a killer body, he is a narcissist whose greatest love is himself - and his leather pants. Bored with women falling all over him, he becomes obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventureousness. The less she needs him, the more interested he is. He travels to Whitby to find her and make her his bride for eternity.

Jonathan Harker

RP British Dialect, prim and proper and obsessive compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush Lucy Westfeldt and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten he loosens up…a lot…and becomes a Tom Jones style rock star in leather pants.

Lucy Westfeldt

RP British Dialect Brilliant plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr Westfeldt, she is full of energy and the spirit of adventure and is often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Johnathan, but when Dracula moves to whitby, she is curious about his strange ways and impressed by their similar interests.

Mina Westfeldt

RP British Dialect, the less attractive, less intelligent Westfeldt daughter, she lives in her sister Lucy's shadow and is desperate for attention. She immediately (pathetically) is receptive to Dracula's charms.

Dr. Westfeldt

Dr. Van Helsing

Renfield
