Sure thing! If there’s any other un-translated interviews or vids you would like to see, feel free to send them my way. Always happy to translate them if I have the time 🥰
This production is SUCH a vast improvement over the OG Broadway and European productions. In the original show Dracula is in love with Mina, for… reasons. It’s never explicitly stated. Which makes it random why she is the one that he is genuinely in love with and why she in turn would fall for him. And why it’s different from what he’s doing to Lucy. It was doubly confusing as a creative choice because the musical was so clearly influenced by the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola, film. So you think the first thing they’d include would be the reincarnated wife subplot to the love story. I’m so glad I bought it back for this version. It makes the relationship make so much more sense and makes Dracula a much more sympathetic character. It’s actually really devastating seeing him basically BEG for her to be with him he’s desperate and in love. And she seems genuinely torn. Fantastic performances! Also loving the choice to give Dracula red hair
He is k pop singer and also a musical actor. He use two names to separate two different area. XIA for singer and KIM JUNSU (김준수) for musical. This video was taken form 2014 XIA Ballad&musical concert with Orchestra vol3., a year-end concert which he held every year. As it's a solo concert performance, the musical presentation is exactly same as the musical play. Lucy is one of back dance, not musical actress, therefore she will not sing a sentence 😅. But in the Korea ver. of Dracula musical, it does add a lot of band elements. I really love his Dracula ver and went to see him over twenty times. Red hair is from his idea. At play first, Dracula appears with gray hair and a winkle-full face. And Dracula rejuvenates and become a young man after sucking the blood. Junsu says it would be more dramatic and more visible to express "blood" with red hair than just only pull off that winklly silicone mask. He tried very hard to persuade the producer and the director. Eventually, he got agreement before a few days before the first stage. There is only his Dracula ver. with red hair, other Dracula actors maintain black hair. 2024 marks the 10 Anniversary for Korea Dracula musical, and will play at end of 2023 at Charlotte Theater until early next year. The exact date is not yet available. He acts " L " character on Death Note musical form 28 Mar to 18 Jun.😊
This is very much an asian version of Dracula. Great music and voice, but looks like he is auditioning for a k pop band with that hair and pop singer arm movements. Definately a culture difference in presenting a Western world creation. However i love the music and new lyrics, although im not sure why Lucy doesnt sing??? Its supposed to be a duet. Why change it?

Because this is not the real scene of the musical. Here he's singing the song at a concert, of course he wouldnt have the real actress for Lucy. But in the real production and performance its still a duet
"V-am dat un ordin" the way he says that gives me goosbumps. So much emotion. You can feel the anger when he gives hell to the brides. I just can listen to that over and over again. With subtitles it's easier to repeat it yourself. Romania is not very hard to speak when you got the subtitles. But after 3 month I still don't get it right. 😕
Hi there! I am absolutely OBSESSED with Junsu as Dracula and this performance…just wrecked me. I bawled my eyes out at this particular performance. Junsu looks so vulnerable…I have no words. I saw you give credits to people on tumblr and I tried to locate these blogs but I couldn’t find them? I’m desperate to chat to Junsu’s fans. Is this from a DVD? I absolutely have to own it!!
@@vanessa91621 thank you so much for your reply. I can’t believe I posted this 4 months ago. It’s such a shame that it’s impossible to buy this DVD anymore but I have found a number of Junsu’s performances from Dracula on YT and I have enjoyed them greatly. Junsu is an amazing artist, truly unique and I am even more crazy about him now than I was 4 months ago lol. The ultimate dream would be to see him live of course! Are you a fan?
