Check out our good friend Chris Riquinha from Uptown and Cookies & Cream, as well as our friend Alexandra Loren, who are both in the production.
Here is RetroVision Media's recommendation. We totally co-sign this.
We didn’t check to see if Dan Bianchi of Radio Theater has a fan club yet, but we here at RetroVision Media will be the first to join after witnessing his latest Black Box Theater offering of Dracula. Now playing at the Players Theatre in the West Village NYC, Bianchi’s hit adaptation of the infamous bloodsucker was resurrected for an evening of spine chilling, goose bump rising, yet fun filled entertainment.Not to be confused with the old time radio shows of the 1920s-1950s, writer, director and music composer Dan Bianchi stamps his signature style on each original work with a unique blend of spirit, intensity and theatrical innovation. While this production of Dracula stays true to storyline, his unobtrusive staging, use of light and mild special effects allows the audience to feel as though they are experiencing the terror of this tale for the first time.
With a cast of seasoned professionals primed to perform at the highest levels of their craft, Radio Theatres Dracula is far and away a welcomed addition to the New York City theater scene this year. That being said, we would be remiss in our duties not to highlight Frank Zilinyi, (Count Dracula) gifted with the voice of gods, as he not only delivered a command performance, but visible had a lot of fun in the process. Our only question of Mr. Zilinyi is whether he is really that talented or does he simply work very hard at perfecting his technique.
Additionally, while this program is obviously designed for the minds eye, Mr. Bianchi provided two beauties, Alexandra Loren (Lucy) and Shelleen Kostabi (Mina) for those willing to brave a peak during the darkened stage performance to catch a glimpse of their bloodcurdling screams. We highly recommend this production and look forward to this theater companys work in the future.
