A CONCORD THEATRICALS TITLE
Full-Length Musical, Drama / 4w, 7m, 3 any gender (adult) plus ensemble
Music by Mark BaronBook and Lyrics by Jeffrey JacksonOriginal Story Adaptation by Gary P. Cohen
With earnest ballads and soaring ensemble numbers, this compelling 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: The Musical breathes new life into the world-renowned story of man and creator pitted against one another in epic battle.
