Happy Halloween

We celebrated the holiday and a very belated birthday by going to see the matinee performance of Young Frankenstein on Broadway. It was simply delightful. The cast was amazing, the writing was laugh out loud funny, the music was absolutely spot on, and the sets and special effects were fantastic. Roger Bart was Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, although Christopher Fitzgerald as Igor almost stole the show. Rounding out the leads were Sutton Foster as Inga, Andrea Martin as Frau Blucher, Megan Mullally as Elizabeth, Shuler Hensley as the Monster, and Fred Applegate as Inspector Kemp. It's rare to see an ensemble that works so well together. The casting was first rate. It was an inspired afternoon. Alex loved it, and if you know Alex, you know that he doesn't love many musicals at all. All I can say is if you can get your hands on some tickets that you should definitely go. Young Frankenstein is everything that a Broadway show should be, and that's all I'm going to say about that.
