YOUNG FRANKENSTIEN THE MUSICAL - based on the Oscar-nominated smash
hit 1974 film, “Young Frankenstein” is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary
Shelley classic from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. 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? 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 the unforgettable
treatment of Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ On the Ritz.”
Free Screening of “Spaceballs”, Thursday, September 23, 7 p.m.
