A good-natured, high-energy musical," is based on the 1998 hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

Dreams of being a singer/songwriter are gone, replaced by a desire to find the right girls and settle down. When his fiancée leaves him at the altar, he becomes a wedding planner's worst nightmare, taking out his bitterness on stage. .

Dracula
Music Hall at Fair Park
April 19-20
BE THRILLED AND BE CHILLED when Texas Ballet Theater performs Ben Stevenson's Dracula. It's ballet to die for!

Ensnaring his latest victim in his vast bat-shaped cloak, he carries her away in a frenzied coach ride, careening toward the castle gate. But this time, the Count tangles with the wrong maiden!
