“Young Frankenstein”

On December 9-11, Suffield Academy will be performing The Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein in the Jeanice Seaverns Performing Arts Center. The musical comes from the brilliant creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, The Producers.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein [pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”] inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor [pronounced “Eye-gore”], and a leggy lab assistant, Inga [pronounced normally], Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s.

Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.
