Off-Broadway FRANKENSTEIN Musical Plays On New Year's Eve

This year, New Year's Eve is on a Monday when most Broadway and Off-Broadway theaters are "dark". While the plot of Frankenstein is definitely dark, St. Luke's Theatre will not be! FRANKENSTEIN, the Off-Broadway musical plays at St. Luke's Theatre on Mondays at 7 PM, and New Year's Eve is no exception. Based on Mary Shelley's novel, with book, music and lyrics by Eric B. Sirota, FRANKENSTEIN is directed by Clint Hromsco and produced by John Lant, Write Act Repertory and Tamra Pica.

FRANKENSTEIN, is a two-act sweeping, romantic musical about the human need for love and companionship, based on Mary Shelley's novel, and this musical honors its source material.
