The Dracula Spectacula

Synopsis:

Come to this show if you dare
Count Dracula awaits you there
Along with Countess Wraith, his mother
and fearful Genghis, a blood brother

In song and dance with many a fright
Nadia Naïve will delight each night
As she, her class, and many more
Fight Dracula, ghouls and fiends galore!
