I am playing drums for Young Frankenstein The Musical by Mel Brooks at Billings Studio Theater.
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks
Original Direction & Choreography by Susan Stroman
This monster musical comedy is derived from the twisted comedy genius of Mel Brooks as he adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation – Young Frankenstein! Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor, and a leggy lab assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

Location: Billing Studio Theater
ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a teen’s search for her birth father on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, her quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of timeless songs like “Honey, Honey,” “Dancing Queen,” and “Take a Chance on Me” propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, crating an unforgettable show.
