With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor, and a leggy lab assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. &#8220;It&#8217;s alive!&#8221; he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather&#8217;s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung Frankenstein\u201d is a musical with a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks. It is based on the 1974 comedy film of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder and directed by Brooks, who has described it as his best film. It is a parody of the horror film genre, especially the 1931 Universal Pictures adaptation of Mary Shelley&#8217;s \u201cFrankenstein\u201d and its 1939 sequel, \u201cSon of Frankenstein.\u201d The musical premiered on Broadway in fall 2007 and received several nominations during the 2008 award season.<\/p>\n<p>Theatre-at-Tusculum is presenting \u201cYoung Frankenstein\u201d through special arrangement with MTI.<\/p>\n<p>Theatre-at-Tusculum is under the auspices of Tusculum Arts Outreach.
