Young Frankenstein at The Forst Inn Arts Collective

Young Frankenstein is a musical comedy adaptation of Mel Brooks' 1974 cult classic film of the same name. With music and lyrics by Brooks and a book co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, it premiered on Broadway in 2007. The story follows Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, as he reluctantly inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. Despite his desire to distance himself from his grandfather’s legacy, Frederick finds himself drawn into the world of mad science when he attempts to bring a creature to life. The musical retains the quirky humor, slapstick, and eccentric characters that made the film a classic, blending it with lively musical numbers and larger-than-life production design.
