The Joe LoBianco film is a compelling adaptation of Mary Shelley's frightening work of horror, sci-fi and romance. It is a musical drama with haunting melodies and a 'Phantom-like' score, written and composed by Eric B, Sirota, and adapted for film from his long-running and successful Off-Broadway musical. 

Do you think you know the story of Frankenstein? Do you picture a green-skinned creature with bolts in his neck? The true story is less about the monster than it is about its creator and this adaptation looks closely at the writer behind the story. It's a tale of man's hubris and catastrophic guilt and how very human those things are.

Playhouse Square will be presenting a variety of events in October, including comedy shows, concerts, and more. Don't miss out on the exciting lineup!
