Based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit 1974
film, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is the wickedly
inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic
from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. When
Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York
brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle
and laboratory in Transylvania from his
grandfather, deranged genius Victor Von
Frankenstein, he faces a dilemma. Does he
continue to run from his family’s tortured past or
does he stay in Transylvania to carry on his
grandfather’s mad experiments reanimating the
dead and, in the process, fall in love with his sexy
lab assistant Inga?
Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein
and the foggy moors of Transylvania Heights, the
show’s raucous score includes “The Transylvania
Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and the
unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’
On the Ritz.”
