tom hewitt in dracula the musical

[@catmomalison]

This specific production is my absolute favorite BECAUSE of the actors that everyone seems to be trashing. People will diss anything just for the "fun" of it. This show deserves so much more.

[@crystalaxwvrerj4202]

LOVE this the music fits Dracula so well, and the man playing him has a great vioce, goes great with the music :+)

[@naokikokubo]

This is the best show ever . I really admire TOM.

Thank you so much for posting this!

The instrumentals were better in the actual play than on the concept album.

[@LegendaireLestat]

I've seen the Austrian version, the Broadway version and heard the James Barbour version adn I think I prefer how Tom Hewitt sings it best.

[@wickedphant0m]

@MunchletteBelle The stationary blocking was because he was all wired up for the big flying moment at the end of the song.

[@RavenAB12]

Love this scene but why did you cut off part of the beginning?

[@mickau4c]

that's greaaaaaat

[@fluffypuppy42]

@MunchletteBelle i think the vocals on the concept album are much better but the orchestrations for broadway are better. if you listen closely you will notice they're a little different

[@lifeafterlife09]

the concept album i find has more of a movie feel to it, which i guess is good in a way and broadway, well it had more of a rhythmic feel. I think constantine's orchestrations were incredible and so powerful, especially the brides sequences and the main theme...the only thing i cant stand about this song in particular is the german orchestration...it just doesnt do it for me its rocky and i dont think that reflects dracula well.....but thats my view haha x

[@ravenstar100]

@EternalMethos oops! i didnt watch that far, sorry. i cant watch vids with too much static for long, hurts my ears.

[@lifeafterlife09]

i do love the music in this to be honest, its beautiful, i have the whole sound board and im like wow!! (being in london i couldnt see it! ) it is beautiful, although i agree, i dont errico much or hewitt for that aspect x

[@theaterguy12]

what happened to this show? Was it horrible? I really like the music. So what happened?

[@conductenor]

People LOVE to hate Wildhorn in NY. It’s ridiculous. I worked this show and it wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty awesome!

[@theaterguy12]

@@conductenor I love WildHorn! I know people didn't like his version of Alice in Wonderland either. I always think he has good music. I've been such a fan of "Jekyll and Hyde" and "The Scarlett Pimpernel" for so many years.

[@ravenstar100]

crist he just stands ther like a wooden top!

[@conductenor]

What do you expect? A tap dance? Sometimes less is more.

[@ravenstar100]

@@conductenor good point

[@lifeafterlife09]

james barbour is amazing!....but i dont think this is too bad. the reason why they are just standing there is because if tom (dracula) moves it will effect with his harness. he could only just lift uo his arm. and i think because tom isnt the best singer in the world, it doesnt help. the cast werent to bad, but they werent that good either! x

[@claytonfordsanderson]

I remember seeing this show in previews on Broadway. Being a huge Jekyll and Hyde fan, I couldn't believe how awful this was. I wasn't expecting brilliance (J&H is, admittedly, no masterpiece), but it was just so BORING. This is the one good song in the show IMO, although here it's taken too slow and obviously, the blocking is stagnant. Tom Hewitt's singing voice is far too light for Dracula, but he certainly looked the part and acted it well. I was surprised he didn't get a Tony nomination.

[@UmmOopsy]

Clay Sanderson It all comes down to the way the director directs the show. It could have been so much better but the way it was directed at some areas of the show were just to dull.

[@MunchletteBelle]

Oh gosh. This is just terrible. I love the concept album version with James Barbour. He's freaking amazing and this guy doesn't measure up. Add in the sound being off and the most boring blocking imaginable (they just stand there, for heaven's sake!) and just... I find this really unpleasant, which makes me sad cause this is my favorite song from the musical.

[@wickedphant0m]

The writing was AWFUL. Like, truly horrific. I thought the cast was spectacular, but not everyone did.
