In MEL BROOKS’ YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN – THE MUSICAL, The comedic genius of Mel Brooks combines with classic B-movie horror in this hilarious musical based on his beloved film. The young American doctor Frederick Frankenstein (“that’s pronounced Fronkensteen!”) is summoned to Transylvania to claim his Grandfather Victor’s estate. Little does he know that this journey will change not only his life, but those of everyone around him, including his sidekick Igor, the beautiful assistant Inga, and a brand-new Monster made for Musical Comedy Heaven. Brace yourself for a wild and inventive production of this side-splitting musical comedy from the director and choreographer of Bay Street’s hit “Enter Laughing.” MEL BROOKS’ YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN – THE MUSICAL is presented as a co-production with Berkshire Theater Group and Geva Theatre Center.
