Free Music Notes for Young Frankenstein: The New Mel Brooks Musical
Free Music Review: Not as good as the original play/cast, but still enjoyable
Hit: 4 Stars
When you have watched the original with Gene Wilder and Madaline Kahn a dozen times, it is hard to not miss their fantastic performances, but the musical is still fun and enjoyable. If you haven't seen the original, you won't notice the difference and will laugh all the way through it.Free Music Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN? A MONSTER SMASH!
Hit: 5 Stars
Mel Brooks' latest work suffered a patch of bad press---due mostly to jealousy at the incredible success of Brooks' previous mega-hit, The Producers, another film-to-Broadway musical---but the cast album is hysterical. The songs emerge organically from the side-splitting film, and harkens back to an earlier time on Broadway, with melodic songs and lyrics with sly and sexy innuendos. Remembering that Brooks' first mainstream musical was in 1952 (he wrote sketches for New Faces of 1952), the rollicking old fashioned music is easy to place. The cast is very easy on the ears; Roger Bart, Megan Mullally, Sutton Foster and Andrea Martin perform honestly, never sending up the material, nor treating it with less than the respect required for wildly funny results. With songs like "Roll in the Hay," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and, or course, the monster's big hit, Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz," there's rollicking fun everywhere. Pundits and critics have hated hated hated this show, but the audience seems to love it. But what do audiences know? Free Music Review: Young Frankinstein CD

Hit: 4 Stars
Great old fashioned Broadway tunes, but some sound exactly as if taken out or recycled from THE PRODUCERS. Nevertheless, Megan Mulally is hilarious, and Sutton Foster... best thing Broadway has seen in twenty years.
