Young Frankenstein on the Today Show
Did anyone else see the three numbers from the new musical Young Frankenstein on the Today Show on Wednesday and think...meh?
I was only watching because our friend was a finalist in the cutest dog costume contest. Catching the sneak preview of Frankenstein was a bonus.
But the three numbers were all just gimmicky uptempos without much to distinguish them from a cheesy musical revue one might see written by some local aspiring composer.
I was left with no desire to see the show. And earlier this year when it was previewing in Seattle I actually thought of going up there to see it.
I like Sutton Foster; I like Roger Bart; I love the movie; and I thought the musical adaptation of The Producers was really well done.
Wednesday's performances left me cold.
Anyone else see it?
