From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, The Producers, comes this monster musical comedy, Young Frankenstein. The comedy genius Mel Brooks adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation, presented by Centenary Stage Company's NextStage Repertory, a division of Centenary University's Theatre Department where shows are performed entirely by Centenary University students.
Young Frankenstein is being presented April 27 through May 7 in the Sitnik Theater of the Lackland Center.
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, music and lyrics by Mel Brooks. 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, 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.
Every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers, Young Frankenstein has all the of panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair added. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment.
Young Frankenstein is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com.
