HALLOWEEN in MANHATTAN                                                                        

THE NEW MEL BROOKS BROADWAY MUSICAL YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN:

Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is the hot ticket on Broadway this fall. The production stars Roger Bart (Dr. Frederick Frankenstein), Megan Mullally (Elizabeth), Sutton Foster (Inga), Shuler Hensley (The Monster), Fred Applegate (Kemp) and Christopher Fitzgerald (Igor).

If you can get a ticket, what a great way to celebrate Halloween! The new Broadway musical Young Frankenstein is at The Hilton Theatre on 42nd Street.  If you're lucky enough to get tickets here you will enjoy it. I saw it last week in previews -  It is Fabulous!

Based on the hit 1974 film the show's score includes "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's "Putting On the Ritz."
