Dracula by David Nixon OBE and Northern Ballet gives the vampires all the best moves. They show off how athletic and powerful dancers can be, presenting some impressive and creepy movements, while the humans get a lot less to do.
A revival of a 1999 show, where some music cues feel very Interview With The Vampire, some costume and staging choices very Coppola’s Dracula.
Adaptation-wise, it goes for Mina and Dracula being drawn to each other, and presents a shock ending. (I wonder if it influenced the recent theatre version I saw...)
