Cynthia Erivo Stars in One-Woman Dracula on West End

Cynthia Erivo, Tony-winning and Oscar-nominated actress, will star in a one-woman production of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in London’s West End, portraying all 23 characters including Count Dracula, Mina Murray, and Professor Van Helsing. The play, adapted and directed by Kip Williams, will run at the Noel Coward Theatre from February 4 to May 31, 2026, following its Australian premiere at Sydney Theatre Company. Produced by the team behind The Picture of Dorian Gray, the show utilizes a 'cine-theatre' style that blends live performance with cinematic video. This marks Erivo’s first stage role since her Tony-winning performance in The Color Purple. The production presents a demanding challenge as Erivo navigates rapid character transitions and original music. Producers highlight her creative collaboration with Williams and note high anticipation for her return to the stage.
