Blank Canvas Theatre Presents The Cleveland Premiere of FRANKENSTEIN The Musical Music by Mark Baron Book & Lyrics by Jeffrey Jackson Original Story Adaptation by Gary P. Cohen From the Novel by Mary Shelley October 30 – November 1 Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays at 8:00pm With earnest ballads and soaring ensemble numbers, this compelling musical brings the suspense and romance of the classic tale to life in a uniquely faithful, yet thoroughly innovative adaptation of Mary Shelley’s original novel.
