Young Frankenstein April 11, 2012

The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE! Have a monstrously good time at this spectacular new production, winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Broadway.com Audience Award for Best Musical. Don’t miss the sensational cast delivering all your favorite moments from the classic film, plus brand-new, show-stopping numbers for the stage, including “Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend,” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster — but not without scary and hilarious complications. The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three-time Tony-winner Brooks himself — who wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book — along with his record-breaking team from The Producers, five-time Tony-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony-winning writer Thomas Meehan.

Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders.
