"Young Frankenstein" at JPAS
Jefferson Performing Arts Center 6400 Airline Drive, Metairie, Louisiana 70003
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes this wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend based on Mel Brooks' classic comedy masterpiece at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center. The story follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's pronounced "Fronkensteen") as he attempts to complete his grandfather's masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor (that's Eye-gor), his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancée Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster—but not without scary and generally hilarious complications. Thursday and Saturday at 7:30 pm; Sunday matinees at 2 pm. Tickets start at $23. jpas.org.
