Young Frankenstein When Mary Shelley wrote her horror masterpiece "Frankenstein" in 1818, she could not have imagined that a comedic genius named Mel Brooks would bring it back to life 156 years later as a riotously risqué, award-winning movie and play.​ The musical version of  "Young Frankenstein"  was enjoyed on Broadway for nearly 500 performances and is now on national tour.
