Fresh from sold-out seasons in London's West End and the US, the critically acclaimed Dracula answers overwhelming demand and extends its Sydney tour to the Capitol Theatre this November.

Choreographed by Joel Burke, BIG Live’s dancers perform to an original score by our team of composers, led by Emmy® Award-winner, Jason Fernandez.

A bold, cinematic reimagining of the gothic classic, Dracula is a work of visceral physicality and dark romanticism.
