YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Tour Plays Capitol Theatre, Closes 5/1

Young Frankenstein, the stage reincarnation of the classic Mel Brooks movie, is alive and headed to Salt Lake City. As part of the 2010-2011 Broadway Across America - Utah season, Young Frankenstein will close at the Capitol Theatre May 1.

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.
