Sevastyanova, S. S. Dracula in Musical Comedy — Natural Stage in Development of Vampire Sub-Culture

Abstract: The genre of musical comedy tries to catch up with a popular vampire sub-culture, too. ‘Beautiful’ fear cultivated by modern art and fashion comes to musical comedy. Ball of Vampires by Jim Steinman, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim, Cannibal! The Musical by Trey Parker, Frank Wildhorn’s, Christer Johansson’s and Simon Leclerc’s Draculas are great examples of that. Musical comedies about vampires have one feature in common: they all have numerological symbols and similar musical and rhetorical patterns.


Keywords:

cultural research, musical comedy, vampires, Dracula, numerological symbols, musical and rhetoric figures, vampire sub-culture, new esthetical criteria of epoch, theme song, Stoker.
