⭐ CYNTHIA ERIVO TO STAR IN WEST END PREMIERE OF DRACULA ⭐
Celebrated Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner and three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo will return to the stage for the first time in nearly a decade, starring in this bold, one-actor reimagining of Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel DRACULA, it has been announced.
Sydney Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of DRACULA, adapted and directed by visionary theatre-maker Kip Williams, will premiere at London’s prestigious Noël Coward Theatre in February 2026.
In this radical interpretation, Erivo will embody all twenty-three characters in Stoker’s iconic tale — from the naïve solicitor Jonathan Harker and his fiancée Mina Murray to confidante Lucy Westenra, her suitors, and the formidable vampire hunter Van Helsing — as well as the infamous Count Dracula themself.
Erivo most recently drew international acclaim for her performance as Elphaba in Universal Pictures’ Wicked, her work recognised with a series of major award nominations, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, a Golden Globe nomination, a BAFTA nomination, and recognition from the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards.
DRACULA represents the final and most ambitious production in Tony Award nominated director Kip Williams’ gothic trilogy, whose productions have redefined the canon on both Broadway and the West End. The production follows on from his genre-defining adaptations of the 6-time Tony Award nominated The Picture of Dorian Gray (which enjoyed triumphant seasons in both the West End and on Broadway) and the award-winning Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
First staged by Sydney Theatre Company in 2024, DRACULA captivated audiences with its startingly original reimagining of Stoker’s iconic vampire tale.
The production reunites Williams with his award-winning creative team, including Olivier Award-winning designer Marg Horwell, lighting designer Nick Schlieper, composer Clemence Williams and joined by sound designer Jessica Dunn, video designer Craig Wilkinson and dramaturg Zahra Newman.
DRACULA will play the Noël Coward Theatre and will begin performances from 4th February 2026.
