Product Description
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers, Young Frankenstein is based on the Oscar-nominated smash-hit 1974 film. A wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend based on Mel Brooks' classic comedy masterpiece, the story follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) as he attempts to complete his grandfather's masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor (that's Eye-gor), his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiance, Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster - but not without scary and quite often hilarious complications. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," Young Frankenstein features music and lyrics by the three-time Tony Award winner Mel Brooks, book by Brooks and three-time Tony Award winner Thomas Meehan, and is directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman.

A Good Score from a Good Musical November 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this album as a birthday present for my mother, since she was fond of the number "He Vas My Boyfriend." This not only had that song, but all of the numbers from the soundtrack are included as well, including the dialogue portions, which is a major bonus. Overall this is a good set of sheet music from the show, which I have seen and enjoyed, and I would recommend it to anyone who could use audition music, such as the aforementioned Weill/Brecht parody and "Deep Love," "Alone" (cut from the show but an enjoyable number nonetheless), and "Surprise!"
