Kean, or Disorder and Genius - 1907 - Broadway Articles Page 18

What’s seven feet tall, green, and a triple threat? You’ll have to come to Broadway at Music Circus to find out and witness the spectacle of the summer. Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is tapping its way into the hearts of Sacramentans as fast as you can say, “It’s alive!” The film version premiered in 1974 and quickly became a beloved parody of the classic Universal monster movies.

I want to praise the quality of the large cast for their dedication to bringing so many authentic characters to life onstage while changing costumes, accents and physicality often in the blink of an eye. But with so much interesting history to be explored about a man who was often quoted, and misquoted, in the press, I was hoping to learn more about the iconic physicist as a profoundly complex human being, exile, husband, philosopher and thinker, and not watch him be represented singing silly songs.
