...world-renowned scientist, although she only attended school through the fourth grade. Nicolae spends enormous amounts of the country’s budget on tributes to himself. Vlad Tepes (performed on Friday night by understudy Josh Stamell), the historical Dracula, makes frequent appearances during a pageant held in his honor.
