YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, whose full official title is The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, is a musical with a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks. Based on the 1974 film of the same name by Brooks and Gene Wilder, it is a parody of the horror film genre, specifically the 1931 Universal Pictures adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and its 1939 sequel, Son of Frankenstein. While the plot remains mostly the same, there are a number of changes from the film. The opening number, "The Happiest Town in Town", isn't based on any scene in the film. Elizabeth (Emily C. Niswonger) arrives in Transylvania much earlier than in the film, where she arrives after "Puttin' on The Ritz," a song performed in the film by only Frederick (Craig D. McKerley) and the Monster (Clint Cox).
