Young Frankenstein
Musical
Place:
Hilton Theatre, 213 West 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues (See Map)
It's alive! Mel Brooks' wickedly funny twist on Mary Shelley's classic story comes to the Broadway stage. 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? Based on the hit 1974 film, Young Frankenstein unfolds 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 the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's "Putting On the Ritz."
Running time:
2 hours and 45 minutes, with one intermission |
