Description

The company is holding auditions for “Young Frankenstein” Show and looking for performers, please see the details below.

About the project:
It’s Alive! (And it’s Hilarious!) From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes the monstrously mad musical, Young Frankenstein! A wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend based on Mel Brooks’ classic 1974 comedy film masterpiece, the story follows bright young Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) as he attempts to complete his grandfather’s masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Urged on by a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself fulfilling his grandfather’s corpse-raising legacy. This musical comedy hit is not without scary and hilarious complications. The show includes such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and the famous “Puttin’ On The Ritz.” This electrifying musical stage adaptation of Mel Brooks’ brilliantly funny film will leave you in stitches!
