Patrick Kramer's commanding performance as Frederick Frankenstein (that's 'FRONKENsteen' for the uninitiated) in the Center for the Arts' production of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is reason enough to buy a ticket (if you're lucky enough to score one - shows are playing to capacity crowds in Murfreesboro, so make your reservations yesterday), but director Renee Robinson and musical director Stephen Burnette very adroitly surround him with such strong support that the entire ensemble of Transylvanian thespians is worth the price of admission.

Once discovered, he ends up being raised as an elf. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy's enormous, comically bigger size than his elf pals - little workers that he out-jollies by far, but falls far short of by his pathetic toy-making skills - prompts Elf to face an agonizing truth.
