YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks
March 11–30, 2014 This show is simply a laugh riot.

Come and see how a simple hayride becomes a complete musical adventure where an entire village goes crazy… with dance! Young Frankenstein is an electrifyingly exciting, irreverently rollicking, satirically silly good time.
