Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Makes for a Monster Hit at Pittsburgh CLO
If you're a musical theatre historian, you'll know that one of the ongoing plot threads of the past two decades has been "Mel Brooks tries to make Young Frankenstein work as a musical." The original Broadway production was basically The Producers 2, all elaborate sets, giant choruses, crazy production numbers and novelty props and costumes. But despite the songs being great and the jokes being solid, the Broadway version felt inert, overstuffed. Brooks and crew, including co-librettist Thomas Meehan, have gone back to the show over and over to revise and revive it, always getting ALMOST "there" but not quite. Friends, I am proud to say, I think the Pittsburgh CLO version is "there." Finally, Young Frankenstein feels like it should feel: not a splashy, expensive spectacle, but an almost vaudevillian fusion of musical comedy, sketch comedy and burlesque. It's the "champagne on a beer budget" tone that Brooks and Gene Wilder's divine mix of sophistication and stupidity demands.
