Young Frankenstein The Musical is based on the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy film, a wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend. Book by Mel Brooks and three time Tony Award winner Thomas Meehan, with music and lyrics by Mel Brooks. The story revolves around the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein; Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") is surprised to find he has inherited his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), 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 grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' On The Ritz," Young Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster, but not without scary and quite often hilarious complications. Campy and bawdy, lively and off-color, mature audiences will pick up on the genius of Mel Brooks’ script and score.
