Young Frankenstein

The story of Frankenstein and his monster has lived in our cultural history for the past 200 years, with each generation bringing its own twist to the story of this man and his creation. I welcome you to the twenty-first century’s musical take on this age-old character. With the aid of Mel Brooks and his knack for parody, Young Frankenstein zaps a new breath of life into Mary Shelley’s story. The perfect mixture of horror, comedy, and musical frenzy, this production puts a beating heart into the pages of its original story.

The musical follows the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Dr Frederick Frankenstein, who inherits a castle in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side- kick Igor and a leggy lab assistant Inga, 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 grandfathers. Of course, the monster escapes and hilarity abounds.
