'The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein' -- Tacky, Tired, Tuneless Transylvania
Mel Brooks has taken a giant tumble off the mountaintop on which he stood following the success of THE PRODUCERS.

Seems to be unwise for them, and certainly not a reason for the audience to rejoice. But, on to the show.
