Auditions

Count Dracula- Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome, rockstar presence will a killer body he is a narcissist whose greatest love is himself-and his leather pants. Bored with women falling all over him, he becomes obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventurousness. The less she needs him, the more interested he is. He travels to Whitby to find her and make her his bride.  

Jonathan Harker- Prim and Proper and obsessive-compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush, Lucy Westfeldt and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten he loosens up...a lot...and becomes a Tom jones-style rock star in leather pants. 

Lucy Westfeldt- Brilliant, plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr. Westfeldt, she is full of energy and the spirit of adventure and often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Jonathan, but when Dracula moves to Whitby, she is curious about his strange ways and impressed by their similar interest. 

Mina Westfeldt- The less attractive, less intelligent Westfeldt daughter, she lives in her sister Lucy's shadow and is desperate for attention. She is immediately (pathetically) receptive to Dracula's charms.

Dr. Wallace Westfeldt- Lucy and Mina's father, a blowhard; self important misogynist given to proclamations and posturing with his pipe. A doctor caring for criminally insane, he has recently lost his wife to consumption.

Dr. Van Helsing- German dialect a la Mel Brooks. Brilliant and sturdy vampire-hunting doctor from the University of Schmutz. Deadly serious in the way Germans can be, she is accustomed to people not believing she is a real doctor. Strong, smart, and bold, she is a woman of action.  

Renfield- Salivary issues. Insane patient of Dr. Westfeldt who lives to serve and eat bugs. In a word, the dude is nuts. 

Kitty Rutherford- A dotty, kleptomaniac patient of Dr. Westfeldt, she serves as a maid in his house. Think, Mrs. Lovett but servile and easily distracted.

Lord Cavendish- Lucy's suitor; a Scottish dolt.   

Lord Worthington- Lucy's suitor; posh, British and petulant. 

Lord Havemercy- Lucy's arrogant suitor from Memphis, a la Yosemite Sam. 

Driver- The male Transylvanian driver of the carriage carrying Jonathan to Dracula's castle who tries to warn him. Borat meets Boris and Natasha.

Captain- The salty sea captain of a doomed ship caught in a raging storm. 

Bosun- A scurvy seaman who goes down with the ship in a storm.

Gravedigger- A drunk gravedigger with a secret.
