I love Mel Brooks. I love Young Frankenstein. However, no one loved the Broadway musical Young Frankenstein. That is why it closed on so quickly on the Great White Way. It was considered a joke. Yet, for some reason, ABC thinks we want to see it live on our TV screens in the fall around Halloween. What are they thinking?
As the word, we say after you hear “Frau Blücher,” “Neigh!”
I don’t care if the revised version got positive reviews on The West End, there are hundreds of other musicals they can do first. If they are going to work with Mel Brooks, why not do The Producers with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick? What else are they doing now?
Are you going to watch it? I will, but don’t tell anyone!
