He's 5'-6" standing on tiptoe. She's 6'-2" with her hair "mashed down." He grew up swapping homespun stories in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. She's a former Miss North Carolina who finds comic inspiration in everyday life.
He's rotund and jolly, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, a sublime sense of the ridiculous and an ever-ready punch line. She's willowy and elegant, with a flair for weaving a tapestry of humor as colorful and lovingly constructed as a country quilt.

The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein will be at Andrew Jackson Hall

The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE...and it's headed to Nashville! 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 stage, including "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Putting' 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.
