ABOUT THE SHOW


Nominated for three Tony Awards and awarded Best Musical by the Outer Critics Circle, this monstrously entertaining musical comedy is based on Mel Brooks' parody of classic horror movies. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are now on sale.



Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan have done it again! From the creators of Broadway's record-breaking sensation The Producers comes this scientifically proven good time. The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein tells the story of young Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (that's FRAHN-ken-steen) as he attempts to complete his grandfather's work by bring a corpse back to life - but not without scary and quite often hilarious consequences. The LA Times called this musical comedy "delightfully nutty! Glittering, buoyant fun that tickles its audience into high spirits...Classic Brooks!"



"Mel Brooks was an important part of my growing up. All his early movies had great power over me," said Director Scott Spence. "His irreverent, afraid-to-go-nowhere style made his movies irresistible to me." With musical direction by Larry Goodpaster and choreography by Martín Céspedes, the talented cast of 26, including Equity actors Jamie Koeth as Frederick and Lindsey Mitchell as Elizabeth, will present the funniest singing and dancing laboratory experiment this town has ever seen.



This production of The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI), sponsored by the John P. Murphy Foundation and Ulmer & Berne LLP, and is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Ohio Arts Council.
