With earnest ballads and soaring ensemble numbers, this compelling new 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. The timeless, cautionary tale of Victor Frankenstein, whose noble dreams of grandeur unleashes instead a litany of terror and tragedy. Before it is done, everything in his privileged world will be torn asunder.
A story of life, love, Promethean dreams and Faustian horror, Frankenstein explores the full gamut of human experience. Forget all you have seen in the movies--this is not a Hollywood scarefest populated by lumbering ghouls and wild-eyed maniacs. This is Mary Shelley's original, brilliant, romantic tale of what lies at the depths of the human soul and what happens when its full power is unleashed.
