Mel Brooks is a genius! The Producers was without question his best work, Young Frankenstein wasn’t quite a good but a great giggle.

Fred Applegate is an American actor, singer and dancer.

He is best known for originating the roles of Inspector Kemp and The Blind Hermit in the Broadway musical Young Frankenstein.

Fred worked with Mel on The Producers film and play, so Alex went to talk to him in Young Frank…..

Young Frankenstein, officially known as The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, is a musical with a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks.

It is based on the 1974 comedy film of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder and directed by Brooks, who has described it as his best film.[1] It is a parody of the horror film genre, especially the 1931 Universal Pictures adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and its 1939 sequel, Son of Frankenstein.

After tryouts in Seattle, Washington and four weeks of previews, the musical opened on Broadway on November 8, 2007 to mixed reviews.

The Broadway production closed on January 4, 2009 after 30 previews and 484 performances. A U.S. tour started on September 29, 2009 in Providence, Rhode Island.
