Young Frankenstein
1089 N. Oxford Ave. Los Angeles
It's alive! Hollywood's king of farce and parody, Mel Brooks, reunited with the creative team behind The Producers for this theatrical reimagining of Young Frankenstein, the 1974 comedy that took on the classical horror film genre. The musical follows young Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") as he tries to complete his grandfather's experiments to reanimate the dead. He's aided by the hunchbacked, bulging-eyed Igor ("Eye-gore"), his beautiful lab assistant, Inga, and the frightfully eccentric housekeeper Frau Blucher, who together sing a number of frightfully catchy tunes like "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz." Debuted in 2007 and on Broadway until 2009, The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein gets a local cast and a black-box venue in this new production from Doma Theatre Company.
