Sink your teeth into this! After a hit run in 2024, Drunk Dracula will return off Broadway from September 24 to November 2 only at the Ruby Theatre, just in time for Halloween.

Loosely based on Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, the show follows "Transylvania's thirstiest bachelor" in his hunt for fresh blood to maintain his eternal youth. Drunk Dracula features five actors, one of whom takes five shots of whiskey at the start of the performance. It's up to the others — as well as the audience — to keep the story on track, but the show goes differently each night.

Craft cocktails are available to the audience for purchase during the show as well. Select ticket types include drinks and the ability to influence the show by making decisions about what happens next.

The cast of Drunk Dracula includes Gracie Lee Brown, Ryan Farnsworth, Morgan Haney, Craig Jackson, Sarah Leahy, Howard Hendrix Powell, Travis Raeburn, Ali Reagan, Brandon Salerno, Mishka Varovoy, and Sky Young.

Drunk Dracula is written by Lori Wolter Hudson; co-created by Hudson, Lisa Klages Calhoun, David Hudson, and Scott Griffin; and directed by Kayla Walker. The show is a seasonal offering from the organization behind Drunk Shakespeare, a long-running New York show at the Ruby in which five actors, one drunk, stage a Shakespeare play.

Attendees at both Drunk Dracula and Drunk Shakespeare must be 21 or older.
