Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })For some reason, musicals about vampires had a huge run of popularity at the turn of the millennium. The ones that made it to Broadway flopped, and it's become common knowledge that Vampire Musicals don't work.

Dracula: A Love Stronger Than Death, a French Rock Opera version that opened in Paris in 2011. It was a modest success, with a TV broadcast and a national tour, but didn't do well enough for the show to be released on DVD (which is otherwise fairly standard in France).

A musical adaptation of Vampire Knight ran twice in 2015. It follows the original plot of Vampire Knight up to the death of Shizuka Hio. It was an all-female cast; Nogizaka46 member Wakatsuki Yumi portrayed Yuki, danso/cross-dressing model Root portrayed Zero, and visual-kei vocalist Akira portrayed Kaname, as well as performed the two original theme songs for both shows.

The original European Tanz Der Vampire in that it is a vampire musical. The trope of being terrible on the other hand is subverted, the musical being one of the most well-received musicals of European theatre and even being popular in Japan. Its spectacular failure on Broadway resulted in the executives now being even more careful about what to allow during a new installation to keep the musical from failing ever again.

In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the main character wants to make a Dracula musical with puppets. He ends up doing it and we get to see just how awesome it really is.
At the end he explains that he realised that he should play the thing for comedy instead of angst, possibly Lampshade Hanging this trope.
There actually is a Dracula musical with puppets, a Quebecois production that subsequently toured around Europe to blockbuster sales and is called "Dracula, Entre l'Amour et la Mort". It's set in the future and there's heroin and leather and, well, puppets.

Dracula The Musical is a Swedish variation. A small production but a huge hit with all the performances during its limited run being sold out. Note that it was marketed as comedy, but while having humor, it is pretty bleak.

The Buffy Musical Episode "Once More With Feeling" may be the only vampire musical that has been well-received. This may be because there's really not a whole lot of vampirism driving the plot (lots of demons, sure). Spike however does open his heart about his feelings for Buffy in several songs.
