About

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

    Young Frankenstein

    by Skip on 10/6/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Being a fan of the original movie I truly loved the show, it made me laugh especially during the putting on the Ritz song. However the one thing I will say about the theater is the seats are horrible, being a 6 foot four person it is such a tight uncomfortable fit. The only one that could sit in those seats comfortably are children they really should renovate it where there’s more room, especially legroom with those seats. Even if there were some emergency for somebody sitting in the middle of a row there’s no way to quickly get them out they are really horrible.

    Young Franken-Steen!!!

    by T. P. on 9/30/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    We sat at the back of the middle Orchestra section. The seats were very comfortable as was the leg room. The scenery and stage props were interesting. The singers/players were very good as was the show itself. I think the concession stand on the 1st level could use an additional person during the intermission. Overall, I and my date had a super time.

    Hysterical Night Out

    by KIM B on 9/30/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Attended the show at Walnut Street Theatre on Friday night with my 88 year old dad and my daughter 28 year old daughter......hard to find a show that everyone would love. Since my dad loved the movie Young Frankenstein, we chose this show. My daughter went in not ever seeing the movie (Shocking!!) We were not disappointed, the acting was incredible particularly by the three leading ladies. Singing and dancing were as good as any Broadway show I have seen. My dad is a tough critic but enjoyed every second of the show. Walnut Street Theatre does an amazing job on all of their shows and I love the history of the theatre. If you get a chance - GO!!! It is so funny and extremely well done.

    Walnut put on a great show

    by D. L. on 9/25/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Walnut Street Theater's production of Young Frankenstein was very well done. Funny show. Saw it on Broadway years ago and this was up to par. Excellent cast. Enjoyable show for all ages. Seats in the balcony don't have much leg room and Walnut Theater's mandatory contribution for close seats is annoying.

    YOWZA! Go to this show!

    by This is me on 9/24/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Walnut Street Theatre is in beautiful shape. The seats were very spacious and comfortable( I am 5’ 10”) and the sound system is extremely clear. The show ‘Young Frankenstein’ was outstanding. Excellent acting, singing and dancing. They stuck very close to the iconic movie which was very much appreciated by the ‘laughing out loud’ audience. Looking forward to seeing another production very soon.

    Great seats and great show

    by RJM on 9/24/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Great show that did a good job of replicating the Mel Brook's classic. Actors were sensational. Only problem with the Walnut Street Theater orchestra section is that you are cramped in your seats unless you're a very thin person.

    HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND!

    by Graydee on 9/15/19Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Young Frankenstein was extremely funny, provocative and excellently planned by the entire cast. It was well worth the price of admission at the Walnut Street Theater, a venue we have never been to before. Don't let this one get away from you, if you love to be entertained by imaginative production, lively music and comedic interpretation you love "Young Frankenstein"
