Young Frankenstein, officially known as The New Mel Brooks Musical: Young Frankenstein, is based on the 1974 film of the same name (written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder). It’s a parody of the horror film genre, especially the 1931 movie Frankenstein and its 1939 sequel, Son of Frankenstein.
The musical opened on Broadway in November 2007 and closed in January 2009 after 484 performances. The show featured Brian D’Arcy James, Sutton Foster, Megan Mullally, and Kristin Chenoweth (I know, she’s everywhere!).
Here is a clip from the Letterman Show, “Roll in the Hay”

Though I’ve heard of this one and am familiar with the story, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard any of the music from it.

OMG. One of the funniest movies (plays) ever! My co workers & I seem to quote from the script every day about some ridiculous thing, roll in the hay being one, Frau Blucker (neigh) another, because we have a consultant named Judy Brucker. damn your eyes…too late…it’s alive! etc etc. Oh Yeah, can’t forget nice knockers.
