Go and enjoy, but leave the young ones home!

I took my daughter (aged 19) to see this show today for her birthday. After all the negative reviews I have read, I wasn't sure we would enjoy it. But since we both loved the movie and knew the cast was very talented, we thought we'd give it a try. We were well-rewarded! It was funny, well-staged, and terrifically acted. Will the music make you forget Rogers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Loewe? Absolutely not. ... read more But the songs are fun and well-suited to the satirical nature of the show. The show was packed and I can assure you that no one left at the intermission. The cast received ovations throughout the performance and a standing ovation at the finale. We did not see Roger Bart in the title role, but his understudy did a wonderful job. One caveat - there were a surprisingly large number of elementary/middle school aged children in the audience. As someone who works in an elementary school, I would definitely not recommend this show for children under 16. For everyone else though, go and enjoy!

Lots of fun for the whole family.

I enjoyed this show a great deal. I saw the movie years ago, and this is very much like it, but that's fine with me, because I liked both. It's funny and entertaining and well done. Our teens liked it, too. The night we saw it Jon Patrick Walker was the lead, and he was phenomenal. Igor was also very good.

Don't Listen to Critics!!!
Review by: , May 5, 2008

I loved this show!!! The acting, singing, dancing, sets, lighting, costumes, just EVERYTHING was AMAZING!!!! The highlghts of this show were diffinetely Frau Blucher, Elizabeth, Igor, and Inga. They were all hilarious and made the show even more great. I was a bit dissapointed with the actor who played Frederick Frankenstein: he didn't really stand out compared to the other actors. Also, the actor who played the Monster was an understudy, so ... read more it wasn't fair to judge him. I went to the theater prepared to be dissapointed, but I went out totally surprised. This show was SO much better than other musical comedies on Broadway such as Spamalot and Curtains. I bought the souvenir program & the CD because I loved this show so much. Finally, I would say this to anyone: NEVER LISTEN TO CRITICS!!!!

Miscast??????
Review by: Barrett, Apr 11, 2008
|
|
How could you say Roger Bart was miscast??? I thought he was the best one on that stage. That guy knows what he's doing. He has an amazing talent that not many have. I enjoyed the show and can not wait to see it again.

Time to say goodnight...
Review by: Hammertime, Apr 8, 2008
|
|
Mel it is time to hang it up and say goodnight. How can you have your good name attached to something as awful as this. We go to the theater to be entertained. A High School play is better than this. What a waste of talent? And those songs! Not one memorable song among the whole group except for Puttin On The Ritz which is as old as Mel. There were so many empty seats after intermission that it was embarrassing. Don't go!

No awards for this show
Review by: Honest Appeal, Apr 4, 2008
|
|
Did we see the same show? Tony Bound? Maybe Tony the cabdriver but certainly this show is unworthy of any awards. It is a total bust despite a talented cast. The songs are beyond terrible as a fifth grader could write better lyrics. There were many empty seats noted after intermission. This was a terrible waste of my time as I kept looking at my watch mercifully waiting for it to end.

FANTASTIC
Review by: Colleen, Mar 27, 2008

I saw Young Frankenstein on March 26 with my husband and our two eleven year old children. They loved the show. It was very funny. The staging was superb. They enjoyed it more than WICKED. It was the best show I have seen in two years.
