Frankenstein Closing

The Off-Broadway unintentional camp-fest Frankenstein will close December 9th. Apparently the producers will record a cast album shortly after the show closes, and are contemplating a national tour. The cast album will likely happen, but I have my doubts about whether the tour will materialize.

Why? Well, because, as I said in my review, the show sucks. The only reason it limped along for 70 performances was that many of those perfs occured during the recent stagehand strike, and the musical-starved ticket-buying public had precious little else to see, at least in terms of musicals.

If you want to see how laughably bad a supposedly serious musical can be, by all means make your way to the 37 Arts building before this Sunday.
