Young Frankenstein
Word of Mouth Reviews: "After The Producers nabbed the most Tony Awards in theater history, Mel Brooks is at it again with a Broadway version of his famous 1974 movie, Young Frankenstein. This extravaganza brings together Tony winners Roger Bart, Sutton Foster, Andrea Martin and Shuler Hensley, with Emmy winner Megan Mullally and director/choreographer Susan Stroman to create a truly monster-sized musical. We sent three of our Word of Mouth panelists to see what's up over at the Hilton Theatre. So, what did they think? Find out now!"

I agree with critic Julie in her idea that producers may have just ‘thrown things at the wall to see what sticks.” Often in these mega musicals, Legally Blonde to be another recent example, there is no amount of production quality that can save a mediocre book. It may be beautiful, but the theatrical experience is still unfulfilling in a total way.
