Have a Monstrously Good Time at Young Frankenstein

By Adler Theatre

A Message from Mel Brooks:

Dear townspeople,

It's true?35 years ago I created a monster, and now he's roaming loose around the country. In fact, he's heading straight for your village. What do you want from me, an apology? You should be thanking me! Sure, sure, he has the body of a Ford Edsel and the brains to match, but nothing's funnier than that big dumb lug "Puttin' on the Ritz" in my newest musical, Young Frankenstein. This show has all the great gags from the original movie, plus some new zingers, music, and dancing we threw in just for fun. And for a limited time only, you can see it performed in living color! If you enjoyed The Producers, you're just the kind of sucker who will like Young Frankenstein. So go, get your tickets. Laugh at the monster, and thank me later.
