Frankenstein, A New MusicalFrankenstein, A New Musical
Synopsis:
With earnest ballads and soaring ensemble numbers, this compelling new musical brings the suspense and romance of the classic tale to life in a uniquely faithful, yet thoroughly innovative adaptation of Mary Shelley's original novel. In his quest to discover the secret of life, Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, creates a human of his own design that turns out to instead be a horrifying beast. This is no "Hollywood monster," but a flesh-and-blood man who, while terrifying in appearance, grows to become articulate, cunning, and thirsting for revenge upon the creator who abandoned him. a tragic love story and exploration of humanity, Frankenstein, a New Musical breathes new life into the world-renowned story of man and creator pitted against one another in epic battle.
