Obsession, desire, and ambition…through the eyes of a madman, nothing is sane! The Monster lives in this original musical adaptation. Based on the horror classic by Mary Shelley and brought to life with Gothic flair, this musical follows the ill-fated life of an ambitious Dr. Frankenstein who creates a monster and is forced to face the monster within. Published in 1818 and hailed as one of the first science-fiction novels, the story of man and monster is just as relevant today as it was in its first printing.

Frankenstein: The Musical features a book by Brenda Bell and a score by Michael Sgouros for a live, percussion-based chamber ensemble.

Content Warning: There is brief full nudity. The production uses haze and fog as well as loud instrumental sounds
