The Nocturne Theatre's production of Dracula: The Musical runs for a limited engagement, transforming the historic theatre-in-the-round into an immersive gothic world where no audience member is more than a few feet from the action. With a live rock orchestra, soaring operatic vocals, aerial vampires flying overhead, cinematic special effects, and Frank Wildhorn's haunting score performed live, this is less a traditional musical than an all-encompassing theatrical event.

Christian Marclay’s The Clock returns to LACMA And, Christian Marclay’s The Clock returns to LACMA From Sunday, July 26, through Sunday, August 23, The Clock will be on view during regular museum hours and is included in general admission.
Entry to The Clock is first come, first served. A ticket reservation does not grant immediate entry. LACMA members receive priority access. Space is limited and there may be extensive waiting times to enter the exhibition. Visitors may stay as long as they wish in the exhibition (subject to operating hours), but must rejoin the queue to re-enter. Please refrain from talking or using cell phones. The use of recording devices, including mobile phones, is strictly prohibited.
The amazing piece of work might be on par with getting into the Criterion Closet for a cinephile. Having logged in check it out for a few minutes or as long as it can grab your attention. Christian Marclay’s The Clock depicts time ( in real time) from clips of cinema and television. Thousands of clips showcase time accurately as though you were checking your watch. And, it's not available online.
Now, LACMA is only staying open 24 hours twice during this run. So, some clips will be harder to see and apparently it never repeats itself in that 24 hour cycle which is kind of insane.
All concerts begin at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
