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. I wondered, quite honestly, if the stage production could match the wonderful, madcap silliness of the classic movie that I remembered so fondly.
