ABOUT THE SHOW "Young Frankenstein" The New Mel Brooks Musical Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks Directed by Bill Morgan Choreographed by Conni Fleming Musical Direction by John Ebner It's alive! The electrifying adaptation of Mel Brooks' monstrously funny film will leave you in stitches!
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes this monstrous new musical comedy. Comedy genius Mel Brooks has adapted his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation - Young Frankenstein!
Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "FRONK-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "EYE-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant named Inga (pronounced normally!), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven to be monstrously good entertainment!
