Today is the year-and-a-half anniversary of FRANKENSTEIN's opening, Off-Broadway at St. Luke's Theatre, where it continues to run.

FRANKENSTEIN, the Off-Broadway musical opened October 9, 2017 and is in an open-run at St. Luke's Theatre on Mondays at 7 PM, and has special Friday matinee at 11 AM on April 12.

FRANKENSTEIN, is a two-act sweeping, romantic musical about the human need for love and companionship. Published in 1818, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has recently celebrated its bicentennial and this musical honors its source material as a contemporary work of musical theatre. Having lost his mother at a young age, Victor Frankenstein seeks to end human mortality and arrogantly enters territory beyond his control. While he enjoys unconditional love from Elizabeth, Victor grants none to his creation. For more info, please visit TheFrankensteinMusical.com
