one of the best show ever made May 2, 2008
Caroline Ostiguy (Quebec, Canada)
I've seen Dracula when it came to my own town, and i felled in love with it, the music is breathtaking, the actors are really good. By reading other reviews some people say the show on the DVD and the one in theaters are not the same, but on the DVD it's the exact show i saw. My guess is that there might be two shows that have been available in theater.
A must buy for anyone who likes musical!
Dracula: Entre l'amour et la mort March 14, 2008
LW (San Francisco, CA USA)
This is an amazing dvd. The quality of the music, the commanding performances, both vocally and dramatically, are superior to anything I've seen for a very long time, if ever. I am especially delighted that it is a production entirely québécois. What a marvelous testament to the great talent to be found in "La belle province!" The sets and special effects are very creative as are the new twists on the story.
Although I speak almost no French, the fact that there are no subtitles does not diminish my enjoyment.
Bruno Pelletier's highly original portrayal of Dracula is truly masterful and he achieves the impossible: as vile and cruel as his character may be, he is able to convey his tortured soul and evoke sympathy in the listener. I found "Le Temple de Satan" especially heart-wrenching, as well as one of the most exquisite songs. The entire cast performs admirably and the haunting music by Simon Leclerc is stunningly beautiful. This great musical deserves worldwide exposure!

I saw the play when it came out in 2006 and it moved me.... I loved the way Dracula was interpreted and the modern Twist to it... But when I saw the DVD it was not the same as the show I saw... Don't get me wrong.. the music and the different secenes are great, the main songs are enticing not to say the least, and Bruno Pelletier really gives this Dracula a soul torn between love and death... if you saw the play it seems that in the show and on the DVD, the intros are not the same the scenes were not always in the same order,some nights Dracula was more monster than victim... but even so it still moves me to see this play... Hope Europe and Asia fall in love with it...

I'm so happy to enjoy again this spectacule, I'm from México and I was in Québec last year just to see the play.
I'm Bruno Pelletier biggest fan, specially in this play he has a strong voice, out of this world!!!!, and now he has a new sorprise for us with his new jazz show.
Bruno, here's a Mexican who really loves you!!!!

I have not yet gotten the DVD (which is to become available in January or February 2008), but I have seen the musical 23 times.
I love the music composed by Roger Tabra (lyrics) and Simon Leclerc (music). The performers and their performances are all wonderful! Admittedly, I am a huge Bruno Pelletier fan and he was my initial draw to the project, but have since appreciated the others in the cast as well.
Bruno IS Dracula and his incandescent performance is a thing of beauty. His voice is strong. Sylvain Cossette as Jonathan Harker has one of the most haunting pieces to sing in "Mina". Andree Watters as Mina makes a splendid debut. The other novice is Daniel Boucher as Renfield and definitely a star is born in his case. The cast is rounded out by veterans Pierre Flynn (a fantastic Van Helsing), Gabrielle Destroismaisons (Lucy), Louis Gagne (Grand Lui - the narrator), Elyzabeth Diaga, Brigitte Marchand and Rita Tabbakh (the three vampiresses), background singers Claude Pineault, Julie Dassylva and Martin Giroux. In addition two musicians play live: Dan Mongrain (guitar) and Jean-Francois Groulx (keyboards).
I'm definitely looking forward to adding this DVD to my collection to enjoy for years to come!
Addition:
Now that the DVD has been released and I have obtained mine, I can tell you it is simply breathtaking! As the musical is soon to embark on a tour of Asia and Europe, it is a special treat to have it preserved with its splendid original cast.
(One minor note: Despite what this listing says, there aren't any subtitles, but that should not lessen anyone's enjoyment of this incredible spectacular.)
More:
Dracula Entre l'amour et la mort is very much still a "work in progress". It has changed quite a bit from its debut in Montreal at the St-Denis January 31, 2006. Songs and dialogue have been changed, deleted, added, and moved around. The show that was seen in Lyon, France this year was a little different still. For instance, the setting for the song "Entre l'amour et la mort" is totally different on the DVD than it was originally, and the song "Urgence" has been moved from the first act to the second, replacing "Rester debout" (also sung by Andree Watters).
I love all incarnations of the show, and I watch the DVD incessantly! I hope someday the United States will get with the program and bring the show here in its English form. That would be waaaay cool!
