Within My World from Dracula the Musical

The musical

"Dracula" has taken over six years to reach the present stage of

development. After extensive research had been conducted by the

lyricist in 1999 / 2000 (including the use of references to Stoker's

original notes for the novel), the initial lyric structures for some

of the

proposed songs and the outline of the musical plot were written. The

first version of the complete libretto had been produced by 2003 and

has subsequently been further improved.

Christopher J. Orton and Gareth Evans began working together on the

project in 2004, when Christopher began setting the libretto to his

original music and to create the score for the work.

After the lyricist and composer had recorded some demo material of their work in

2004, and following some private cast readings of scenes, an

opportunity arose to produce a professional concept recording of the

show. This process began in 2005 after the noted composer, arranger

and musical director, Ian Lynn, agreed to orchestrate the work.

The album features the leading West End musical

theatre performer, Michael McCarthy, singing the title role.

The official album launch was on September 25th at

Dress Circle

(London). Since then the album has been selling well at all retail

outlets and is still a top CD best seller at Dress Circle. The UK

Theatre Magazine, What's On Stage, published a very positive review of the

Dracula concept album in its December 2006 issue.



Recently,

a track from the

album was played on national radio. That was on the Elaine Paige show on

BBC Radio 2. A further album of the complete Dracula musical is planned

and that process will begin during 2007. The producers of the album are

Sang de

Vie Productions Ltd. They can be contacted via their website.

Unlike many other similarly themed musicals, that are only broadly based upon Bram Stoker’s title character, this new work by Evans and Orton actually incorporates the central plot and the most important episodes from Bram Stoker’s novel. In our opinion, this is one of the important differences that sets this work apart from other attempts to adapt the story as a musical theatre piece.
