Free Music Notes for Young Frankenstein: The New Mel Brooks Musical
Free Music Review: Another Score for Mel
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't believe what you read in the New York Times, especially those caustic reviews by Ben Brantlel. He needs to go! Get Clive Barnes back! "Young Frankenstein" is a wonderful, hilarious romp parodying the musicals of Cole Porter and Friml and Youmans. It takes you back to when musicals were fun and frolicsome. There are great performances from everyone. Only Roger Bart doesn't match the mayhem and I think that is more of a directorial matter. I would love to see someone like Bill Irwin or even Robin Williams takeover the role.
The audience simply adored the show when I saw it. And the CD is well worth the price. If you're in New York take in "YF" and another Brantley reject "A Catered Affair." Take a pass on "In the Heights" which is over-hyped and a Latino rip-off of "Rent" and "West Side Story." I just heard that "In the Heights" has already recalled all future discount tickets even though they were purchased before the show won the Tony.
I guess the inhabitants of the Heights won't get to see their own story now.
Free Music Review: Fantastic!

Having been to and enjoyed the musical whilst on holiday in New York I decided to buy the soundtrack when back in the UK. From the first song to the last I loved the soundtrack and, if nothing else, can remind me of the time I spent in New York and the show in particular.
The tunes are great, the lyrics highly amusing and very much in keeping with the original film.
I can't wait to go back to NY to see the show again. Thank you Mel Brooks.
Free Music Review: SO Disappointed
Hit: 1 Stars
I purchased the CD with the hopes of clever and catchy tunes as we have come to expect from Mr. Brooks. I was sadly disappointed. Too much crudeness and not enough cleverness. I could barely make myself finish it once thru, much listen to it a second time. Yuk. and that's my professional opinion!Free Music Review: Young Frankenstein is MAGNIFICENT!!!

I just got back today from seeing Young Frankenstein, and I had to order the CD immediately! I'd heard such terrible reviews, yet within 30 seconds I was laughing and tapping my foot to the music, and I never stopped. Not since I saw "Mamma Mia" have I enjoyed a play so much. I can't imagine what could make anyone dislike this play and music. No, it is not Shakespeare; it's not meant to be. It does what a musical is supposed to do: entertain and leave you singing the tunes. It is non-stop laughter, great dancing, and wonderful, vintage Mel Brooks. I could see it over and over again and never get tired of it or the music. A great soundtrack!Free Music Review: you;l laugh your tookis off

I,ve worn out three vhs and one dvd copy of this already. so what if it was not so great on broadway, who wants to dress up and go out when you can watch this ad home and laugh til the beer spurts out you nose?
