Mel Brooks’ comedic spin on the original tells the story of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the infamous mad scientist. Initially Frederick wants nothing to do with his grandfather’s notorious legacy but when he travels to Transylvania to settle his inheritance, he quickly becomes obsessed with his grandfather’s morbid experiment. Assisted by eccentric henchman Igor, beautiful lab assistant Inga and the mysterious Frau Blucher, Frederick succeeds in building his very own Monster. When the Monster escapes, it is up to Frederick and his gang to find him before the townspeople do.
“Young Frankenstein” acts as a hilarious, high-energy musical featuring songs such as “The Happiest Town in Town,” “He Was My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ On the Ritz.” The Red Barn’s production features Luke Aguilar as Frederick, Juliette Maners as Inga, Kiara Wood as Frau Bluchers, Luke McLaughin as Igor, Cassidy Mae Benullo as Elizabeth, and Cole Riegle as The Monster.
