Bram Stoker's fanged-antagonist-themed iconic vaudevillian variety show, Dracula's is bringing their brand-new show, ‘Dracula's: Sanctuary’ to town.
Melbourne, 1980. Down a dimly lit laneway, a figure of the city’s night-life was born. Reigning for 43 years and drinking in more than five million willing guests, Dracula’s gothic lair possessed the corner of Cardigan and Victoria Streets. The gothic castle came to life within the walls with a risqué burlesque, sensual cabaret, provocative comedy show and restaurant meals worthy of sinking teeth into. It now sits hauntingly empty.
But that hasn’t stopped the vampiric empire from taking over the country. In 2022, the stage show was resurrected with original cast members and fresh blood to present fan favourite acts straight out of the Dracula’s vault. Now, the coffin is open again and the blood-sucking creatures of the night are heading straight to Geelong to feast.

Newman Entertainment CEO Luke Newman says audiences should expect the unexpected with Dracula’s.
“What people love about Dracula’s is that you’re never quite certain what you’ll see, but you know you’ll love it. After a season at our Gold Coast venue, ‘Sanctuary’ has been completely re-worked for the road, to be bigger and better than ever. It’s a spectacle of seduction and silliness, with plenty of fangs, feathers, and flirting. It’s naughty, in your face and pure energy. It has it all, and you won’t want to miss it!”
Dracula’s Sanctuary aims to seduce, shock, and most of all draw the laughs. Running for 100 minutes with two acts and an interval, these shows at Geelong Arts Centre will be intoxicating.
Tickets are on sale now via Geelong Arts Centre website.
