Dracula, The Musical (2004) was a musical based on the original Victorian novel by Bram Stoker. It had a score composed by Frank Wildhorn, a composer best known for works such as "Jekyll and Hyde". It was originally premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse, and then moved to Broadway where it played at the Belasco Theater. There it starred Tom Hewitt and Melissa Errico as the frightening Count, and the woman he loves, Mina Harker, respectively. The show ran for very few performances, and received mainly negative reviews, which criticized it for lack of plot development, among other things.[citation needed] A brief nudity scene in which Dracula seduces Lucy Westerna (played by Kelli O'Hara) received much publicity, as did the show's numerous and spectacular special effects. The show later went to Europe, where it is currently playing.

The first amateur production of the musical debuted at Kelsey Theater in Hamilton Township, New Jersey on the Mercer County Community College campus in October 2006.
