Dracula Triumphant

We left at intermission after suffering through Act One. I really wanted to leave part way through but as we got great seats, up front and in the middle, I didn't want to disturb the other people as we left. I recall leaning over to my other half at one point and saying, "When I leave, you better be behind me".

It was quite extraordinary how the audience was reacting to the show. People were leaving behind us and others were giggling throughout some of the performances.

I did feel sorry for the cast as they had obviously put in a lot of effort for this show. Just to remember the songs would take some effort since there was nothing memorable about the music at all.

My partner was apologetic that the tickets had actually been my birthday present. He thought that as it was at the Theatre Royal and that it was sold through Ticketek that it must be OK.

Well, the changes to the date of our show (twice) before we settled on the first preview night, should have told us to be worried.

We will talk about Dracula Triumphant for years to come.
It really was an entertaining experience....but not in the way that the Creators had hoped.
