In the play, directed by Mark Lorentzen, the inhabitants of a madhouse are putting on a musical. The book, music and lyrics are by Rick Abbot.
“I first saw this production as a kid in Reno, Nev.,” Lorentzen said. “It was one of the most hilarious shows I’ve ever experienced. On top of that, it’s actually a really good musical.”
Lorentzen assembled the cast of Mindy Gelder as Nellie Norton, Luci Barrera as Mina Seward, Nicholas Fazio as Dr. Sam Seward, Anna Pederson as Bubu Padoop, Ken Winters as Boris Renfield, Benjamin Heintz as Dr. Van Helsing, Lydia Wilhelm as Sophie Seward and Jeremy Pederson as Count Dracula.
