OCPAC ClosesYOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, 9/25

To accommodate a change in the national tour of The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, the Orange County Performing Arts Center has rescheduled the show's visit to Sunday, September 12 through Saturday, September 25, rather than September 7 - 19, as originally announced.
Young Frankenstein, a new musical comedy from the creative team of the 12-time Tony® Award-winning smash The Producers, features a book by three-time Tony Award winner Mel Brooks and three-time Tony Award winner Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks. The show is directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman. Musical supervision is by Glen Kelly.

Based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit 1974 film, Young Frankenstein is the wickedly inspired reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the comic genius of Brooks. When Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius Victor Von Frankenstein, he faces a dilemma. Does he continue to run from his family's tortured past or does he stay in Transylvania to carry on his grandfather's mad experiments reanimating the dead and, in the process, falling in love with his sexy lab assistant Inga?

Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein and the foggy moors of Transylvania Heights, the show's raucous score includes "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's "Puttin' On the Ritz."

Young Frankenstein was named Best Broadway Musical 2008 by the Outer Critics Circle Award and won five Broadway.com Audience Awards, including Favorite New Broadway Musical. Clive Barnes of the New York Post called Young Frankenstein, "the Broadway musical at its dizziest, glitziest and funniest."
