The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE... and it's Broadway's award-winning MONSTER HIT!
You'll have a monstrously good time at this spectacular new production, winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Broadway.com Audience Award for BEST MUSICAL!
Don't miss the sensational cast delivering all your favorite moments from the classic film, plus brand-new show-stopping numbers for the Broadway stage, including "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz."
This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster—but not without scary and hilarious complications. The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three-time Tony winner Mel Brooks himself—who wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book—along with his record-breaking team from The Producers: five-time Tony-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony-winning writer Thomas Meehan.
"THE BROADWAY MUSICAL AT ITS DIZZIEST, GLITZIEST AND FUNNIEST!"
-Clive Barnes, New York Post
After loving the movie for years and years, I wondered how the story might transition into a musical, but I sure didn't need to worry. And the cast was just amazing. Loved it, Loved it LOVED IT
Not a weak element in the production. Standouts were Susan's choreography and the dance corps, Travis Taylor, Devin DeSantis, the sets, orchestra and really, the entire production. The cart and horses were very effective, Igor and Frau Blucher were wonderful supports. Only regret was the geriatric audience was incapable of providing a richly deserved standing ovation. Catch it if you can.
Incredibly talented cast performing hilarious material.
Very entertaining!! I would see it again.............
The movie will always be a classic and can't be topped. But this musical is a LOT of fun. Tons of laughs, great cast. Definite must see. You will leave happy.
Always a great venue. The show was really good, well done, beautiful set and the performances were a treat to watch. Igor stole the show! Well DONE!!
If you saw the movie, the play stayed pretty much on course. A few sight gags and a lot of sexual innuendo. Dr. Frankenstein was not Gene Wilder but he was pretty good. Igor captured a lot of Marty Feldman but I cannot see Marty Feldman doing Young Frankenstein as a musical. The set was well done and the play was well paced. Start to finish with a 15 minutes intermission was 2 hours and 25 minutes.
'Young Frankenstein' made for a wonderful afternoon outing with my moms and sister in law. We seldom get together and were all pleased that the performers were so talented and the production was amazing. Excellent seating and we all were able to hear the perfectly executed punch lines! Valets, ushers and wait staff were all professional and so accommodating to my moms. We had a great time and my moms are telling all their lady friends about their wonderful outing at the Drury Lane. Thank you!
This play is filled with Innuendoes that will make you laugh throughout the entire play. Very funny and it followed the movie very closely.
We went as a family outing. My wife and 2 teenage daughters. We all loved the play. We were fans of the movie, and the play was true to it. Truly a hilarious play. Even the kids loved it.
We truly enjoyed this event and all the players were skillful with remarkable vocal talent. That being said, I have to admit that we were a little deflated by the performance of the lead, Devin DeSantis, as Frederick Frankenstein, and by Johanna Miller, as Elizabeth Benning. Both have talent to spare in singing, but musical theater is just that: musical theater. It requires a bit of acting along with the musical talent, and both fell short of the mark. They had big shoes to fill for those of us who are familiar with Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn in those respective roles, but they just didn't seem to have a feel for the parts. On the other hand - the performances of Allison Sill as Inga, and Jeff Dumas as Igor, were outstanding in all respects. Ms Sills has a phenomenal voice and her energy and sense of fun did much to prop up her many scenes with DeSantis. She also had a tough act to follow, as did Mr. Dumas, reprising the roles played by Teri Garr and Marty Feldman, but they delivered with robust enthusiasm and excellent comedic timing. Both deserved a standing ovation! Others to mention are Paula Scrofano, as Frau Blucher, who was a bit too reserved in some scenes but still very enjoyable, and Travis Taylor as the Monster, who deserves kudos for tap dancing in platforms and a tip of the hat for Puttin' on the Ritz.
Wonderful cast and set. Young Frankenstein provided a laugh a minute and music you can enjoy.
The actors and actresses were top notch. Their excitement was transferred into the audience. This is a Broadway show!
If you love the movie Young Frankenstein, you'll enjoy the musical. Great fun!
Talented performers. Fabulous singing and dancing. Hilariously funny. Affordable seats. Best show I've seen at Drury Lane. Recommending to everyone. See it before it's gone!
This was not a show I'd bring the kids to, but it was well done and an all around good time.
We had a great time. Laughed, and Laughed. But not for kids.
We love the movie and now we love the musical! My husband and daughter are not into musicals, but they love the movie, so I was able to talk them into going. We all laughed and enjoyed the singing and dancing.
Great show was almost identicle to the movie which is what I liked.. The songs were great and the actors were phenomenal.. Great voices funny where it needed to be just an all around great show...
I thoroughly enjoyed this play. I didn't know it would be funny but it sure made me laugh throughout the entire time. A must see for sure. I didn't know what to expect but everything was unforgettable. A new twist on an old story.
