” 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?”
This musical comedy is from the Broadway creative team of the 12-
time Tony Award winning smash hit The Producers. The
production, with music and lyrics by Brooks and a book by
Thomas Meehan, is a hilariously tuneful show based on the 1974
smash hit film Young Frankenstein which was a wickedly
inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the comic
genius of Mel Brooks.
David Lamoureux directs with Corey Hirsch serving as Musical Director and Daniel Smith as Choreographer. Dino Nicandros* stars as “Frederick Frankenstein” with Danny Blaylock as “The Monster”, Julia Aks as “Inga”, Erik Scott Romney as “Igor/Victor Frankenstein”, Tracy Rowe Mutz* as “Frau Blucher”, Ashley Fox Linton* as “Elizabeth”, and Richard Gould* as “Inspector Kemp/Hermit”. *Denotes members of Actors Equity Association.
Young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen) attempts to complete his grandfather’s masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor (that’s Eye-gor), his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancée Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster — but not without scary and quite often hysterical complications.
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 an
unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin’s “Putting on the Ritz.”
