A Wicked: For Good star is trading emerald for fangs in their next big role… Dracula.

Cynthia Erivo is set to star as Bram Stoker’s immortal vampire, along with 22 other characters, in Dracula, a one-woman show premiering next year in London’s West End, according to Deadline. The production is created by the team behind Sarah Snook’s acclaimed Broadway and London success, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Adapted and directed by Kip Williams, Dracula will be Erivo’s first stage role since her Tony Award-winning performance as Celie in The Color Purple. After starring in the role for two years in New York, she exited the production in January 2017. Before moving to the U.S., the Wicked fan favorite played Celie in London and honed her craft in several other UK plays and musicals.
