The Ogunquit Playhouse is delighted to announce the casting of John Bolton in the role of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein in this summer's production of Mel Brooks' hysterical musical comedy Young Frankenstein, on stage July 10 through July 27. Mr. Bolton takes the lead in this wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend, based on Mel Brooks' film masterpiece, as he attempts to bring a corpse to life with plenty of scary and hilarious complications. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at highlights of the show below!

The Ogunquit Playhouse will recreate the Broadway musical, complete with the Tony nominated sets and costumes by Robin Wagner and the original costumes by multi-Tony Award winner, William Ivey Long. Eye-popping special effects and show stopping musical numbers, including "Puttin' on the Ritz" with the tap dancing monsters, will round out this monstrously fun show. Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein the Musical is a co-production with Long Island's Gateway Playhouse. For tickets call the Box Office at 207-646-5511 or online at Ogunquitplayhouse.org.
