BWW Reviews: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN in Cincinnati
by Jill Siekman - Nov 22, 2010

Now playing at the Aronoff Center for the Arts: Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. While the orchestra (which sounded phenomenal) played the overture, an image with the castle and the words 'Young Frankenstein,' in a font reminiscent of a type you'd see on an old movie, was projected on a screen. The image set the tone for the musical, based on Brooks' classic vaudevillian comedy, and it plays out much like the movie. (more...)

'The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein' -- Tacky, Tired, Tuneless Transylvania
by Beau Higgins - Oct 07, 2010

Mel Brooks has taken a giant tumble off the mountaintop on which he stood following the success of THE PRODUCERS. To think about it, THE PRODUCERS revealed itself not to be one of the greats as soon as Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick departed. Performers mean an awful lot in a Broadway musical. It seems the Brooks machine is willing to trade gifted star performers (they got to be stars for a reason, you know) for a more immediate return of profit. Seems to be unwise for them, and certainly not a reason for the audience to rejoice. But, on to the show. (more...)

BWW Reviews: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Gets Re-Animated at OCPAC
by Michael L. Quintos - Sep 16, 2010

A wandering hump. Hyper-active hay rides. A tap-dancing, zipper-necked monster. One thing is clear: Mel Brooks is one silly man. In the world of comedy, silliness is definitely a positive trait. You certainly get a fair dose of his madcap genius in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, the stage musical adaptation of his cinematic cult classic, whose touring company continues performances at the Orange County Performing Arts Center through September 25. A well-intentioned adaptation that tries valiantly to reach its full summit, this musical mines most of its laughs from signature moments faithfully recreated from Brooks' 1974 genre-skewering film comedy of the same name.

BWW Reviews: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Is Alive! at L.A.'s Pantages Theatre
by Michael L. Quintos - Jul 29, 2010

There is no denying that Mel Brooks is a comedy legend. Brooks' oeuvre--particularly his hilarious film work--harkens back to a time when getting laughs meant less cynical snark but, rather, more outlandish farce and the endless use of double-entendres and wordplay. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, Brooks' stage musical iteration of his cult hit film--now performing at the Pantages Theatre through August 8--features plenty of Brooks' signature silliness, now paired with several relatively amusing songs, all penned by Brooks. However, the show somehow just stops short of becoming the universally beloved musical that Brooks' earlier show (The Producers) managed to be so much more effortlessly. But rest assured, this show will still coax a lot of smiles and many loud bursts of laughter out of you. (more...)
