Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel of the same name, Frankenstein: A New Musical is a modern retelling of a story we're all too familiar with. A sweeping, romantic musical that beautifully showcases the human need for love and companionship, Frankenstein: A New Musical is a must-watch for all the right reasons. Currently running on an extended run at St. Luke's Theatre, this off-Broadway production has been garnering acclaim from audiences and critics alike since its debut on October 2nd, 2017. The two-act musical follows the same basic story as Shelley's original but honors it while adapting as a modern work of musical theatre. If you're looking to spend a couple of hours deeply absorbed in a timeless classic that has a dollop of romance added in for good measure, Frankenstein: A New Musical is the show for you!
Frankenstein: A New Musical - About The Show
The tragic tale of Frankenstein is no stranger to New York's theatre scene, with an off-Broadway production which premiered in 2007 at the 37 Arts Theatre. Following a couple of international productions including London, Melbourne, and Germany, the show made its way back to New York in 2017 with a brand new team. The 2017 off-Broadway production of Frankenstein: A New Musical features book, music, and lyrics by acclaimed playwright Eric B. Sirota. Sirota published Frankenstein under the original title Day of Wrath which became an official 2015 selection of the New York Musical Festival's Reading Series. evelopment of a musical adaptation of Alanis Morissette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill began in 2013 with Tom Kitt, a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer attached to the project as orchestra arranger. A reading led by Idina Menzel playing the lead role took place in 2017 and the show was set to premiere in May 2018.
The Broadway adaptation of the musical is scheduled to premiere at the Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway starting November 3rd 2019. Jagged Little Pill has been adapted for the stage by writer Diablo Cody of Juno fame. Diane Paulus has directed the show and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui has handled choreographing duties.

Joining the talent behind the scenes is an equally talented ensemble featuring Josh Jacobson as Victor Frankenstein, Marc Christopher as the Creature, Lauren Hugh as Elizabeth, and Stephanie Lourenco Viegas as Justine.
Frankenstein: A New Musical Off-Broadway Story
While Frankenstein A New Musical features the same characters and setting as the original, the focus of this production is the love shared by the characters inhabiting the story. Victor Frankenstein, after losing his beloved mother at a very young age, wages a one-man war against human mortality and after a bout of success and the overconfidence that comes with it, begins entering a territory he isn't equipped to handle. Accompanying him on this journey is Elizabeth, Victor's partner who he loves unconditionally. When Victor refuses to share the same love with the monstrous creature he has created, jealousy rears its ugly head and the creature takes its revenue on Victor's family. What happens next forms the crux of this retelling.

About St. Luke's Theatre
A small theatre located at St. Luke's Lutheran Church at 308 West 46th Street just west of Eight Avenue in Manhattan's Theater District, St. Luke's Theatre is a part of the iconic Restaurant Row. The theatre is cheekily referred to as the"home of off-Broadway hits" and while it has gone on to host some stellar productions, the interiors and seating of the theatre leave something to be desired. With just 174 seats in total, St. Luke's Theatre is one of the smallest venues off-Broadway and often feels like the basement of a church. The theatre is currently operated by Edmund Gaynes and the West End Artists Company.
