Get ready to be transported to Transylvania in the uproarious “Young Frankenstein (West End Version)“!
In this monster musical comedy from the creators of The Producers, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”), grandson of the infamous Victor, reluctantly inherits his family’s estate. With the assistance of the hunchbacked Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”) and the leggy lab assistant Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself stepping into his ancestors’ mad scientist shoes. As he brings a new creature to life, chaos ensues when the Monster escapes, setting off a sidesplitting pursuit. But amidst the laughter, there’s a deeper story—a hilarious take on Mary Shelley’s classic tale, blending Mel Brooks’ comedic genius with high-energy performances and witty dialogue.
Join us for a monstrously good time with “Young Frankenstein (West End Version)“!
