The Mel Brooks classic will be performed with a live orchestra Oct. 6-22.

Based on the book by Thomas Meehan and Mel Brooks and featuring featuring music and lyrics by Brooks, Frederick Frankenstein , the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein , inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania.

Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity abounds as Inspector Kemp and the townspeople try to capture him. Director Dianna Schepers, choreographer Anjee Norgaard and musical director Kevin Dong recreate the Broadway smash hit musical with eye-popping special effects and show-stopping musical numbers, including the famous “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” complete with a tap-dancing chorus that will have audiences cheering.

The show’s electric lineup will feature favorite rock ‘n’ roll, blues, country and jazz hits from the 1950s with a healthy helping of memorable tunes by artists ranging from Chuck Berry to Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lee Lewis and more.
