Bay Street Theater’s third and final production of the 2024 Mainstage season is “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein — the Musical,” which runs July 31 to August 25.
The show stars Sean Bell as The Monster, Aaron Choi as Hermit, Broadway veteran Veanne Cox as Frau Blücher, Matthew Hydzik as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, James Romney as Igor, Kyla Stone as Inga, Aléna Watters as Elizabeth Benning, and, as the ensemble, Savannah Cooper, Bradley William Gibbins, Brady Miller and Linda Neel. The show is directed and choreographed by the prolific Gerry McIntyre, a Bay Street favorite who choreographed Bay Street’s “Enter Laughing.”
In “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein — the Musical,” the comedic genius of Mel Brooks combines with classic B-movie horror in this hilarious musical based on his beloved film. The young American doctor Frederick Frankenstein (“that’s pronounced Fronkensteen!”) is summoned to Transylvania to claim his Grandfather Victor’s estate. Little does he know that this journey will change not only his life, but those of everyone around him, including his sidekick Igor, the beautiful assistant Inga, and a brand-new monster made for musical comedy heaven. Brace yourself for a wild and inventive production of this side-splitting musical comedy, which is presented at Bay Street as a co-production with Berkshire Theater Group and Geva Theatre Center.
There will be a special “Pay What You Can” dress rehearsal at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31. Tickets will only be available at the box office the day of this performance.
