"This is just plain bawdy, outrageous fun for everyone!"

"Laughs galore and music that won't let you sit still. Dragula has it all!"

Dragula the musical isn't one of those worn out Dracula and vampire tales with their cliched gothic plotlines and overblown melodramatic musical scores. Here's a whole new take on the classic vamp theme with one of the funniest yet sensitive stories to be put to music in years.

You're going to LOVE ...DRAGULA...

The "G" Spot, a nightclub where transvestites and those who love show-stopping musical entertainment and the bawdy humor of Renard the emcee, come for a night of care-free fun is the home of the singing and dancing star DRAGULA. Dragula is the entertainment persona of a sensitive performer named Peter who is tormented by past memories of ridicule and personal lifestyle decisions. Preserving the pressed orchid of a dead mother who comforted him in his torment, and growing delicate orchids of his own, Peter has now transformed into his own creation, the elusive and strangely powerful Dragula, a figure so mysterious that even Peter's own sister Rachael has become concerned by her brother's unexplainable isolation.

Into the night Dragula ventures, seeking those she can transform into transvestites who will become the new performers at The "G" Spot, creating an ever new and exciting venue of thrilling entertainment at the club. However, the Right Reverend Bobby Swagger with the help of his very well put together assistant, Miss Tammy Twingle and an opportunist named Sharma Sharma, is determined to stop Dragula and put an end to what the Reverend calls the "sinful spreading of this subverted sexuality." Using a disguised Miss Twingle, who appears as an exact duplicate of Dragula, a special formula provided by Tailgate the lesbian fortune teller and her herbalist assistants, the three bitches, Swagger turns Dragula converts straight, and with the use of the horrific Big Daddy, confronts Dragula herself, forcing her to come face to face with what she has become.

However, with the support of his sister and those around her like the converted Downina Jones, Carmen Ensalada, Curtina Upp, and even The Three Bitches, in the riveting climax, Dragula manages to not only turn the tables on Reverend Swagger, but actually turn Swagger himself into the gospel singing transvestite sensation Roberta Flaccid as the tale comes to a rousing conclusion with the last of the musical comedy's many show-stopping production numbers: Walking Like A Lady. The final song proving once and for all the oft repeated theme "It's all right to be a transvestite" in this laughter-filled yet thoughtfully theme sensitive twist on the classic vampire tale.
