Ogunquit Playhouse concludes its 2021 season with the perfect spooky October production: Young Frankenstein, starring John Bolton (Broadway's Anastasia) as the titular Frederick Frankenstein and featuring Ogunquit favorite Sally Struthers (Thoroughly Modern Millie) as Frau Blücher. From October 6 through October 31, 2021, Ogunquit Playhouse's 25,000-square-foot, open-air Leary Pavilion will be joining the family business and puttin' on the ritz.
Mel Brooks and
Susan Stroman gave this 1974 comedy classic new life on stage as a mind-blowing, tap-dancing monster of a musical, which wowed sold-out Ogunquit audiences during a limited run in 2013.
John Bolton returns to the role, this time matching wits with
Sally Struthers for a side-splitting, abby-normal extravaganza in the most haunting of seasonal environments. Bundle up, because this is gonna be a roll in the hay to remember!
