Musical Version of One of Mel Brooks’ Most Beloved Comedies to Be Broadcast Live

Jan 8, 2020  •  Post A Comment

A live prime-time musical event that’s in the works for later this year will bring Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” to broadcast television. ABC announced plans for “Young Frankenstein Live!” (working title), based on the Broadway stage version of Brooks’ and Gene Wilder’s comedic reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic novel.

The announcement comes on the heels of the network’s most recent hit musical, “The Wonderful World of Disney presents The Little Mermaid Live!,” which ABC said was the most-watched made-for-TV musical on any network in almost four years and ranked as the week’s No. 1 entertainment show.

“Young Frankenstein Live!” will feature music from the stage adaptation, originally composed by Brooks. An airdate and cast announcement will be made at a later date.

  4. Looking forward to it. I think The Twelve Chairs would make a great musical. I would write it myself but I am busy writing a musical comedy based on Waiting for Godot.

  5. This is wonderful! I am also a beginner musician and I want to share with all Soundcloud users the site https://promosoundgroup.net/collection/buy-music-promotion/buy-soundcloud-promotion/ where you will get professional help in organically promoting your music. If you ever dreamed of popularity, don’t give up, just use music promotion and popularity will quickly knock on your door.

  6. Engaging in activities like boost spotify plays through unauthorized or artificial means can have negative consequences. It not only violates Spotify’s terms of service but also undermines the integrity of the platform and the hard work of genuine artists. Instead of seeking shortcuts to inflate play counts, it’s better to focus on organic growth and authentic engagement. Supporting artists by sharing their music through legitimate channels and encouraging real listenership contributes to a healthier and more sustainable music ecosystem. Let’s promote ethical practices and respect the efforts of musicians in the digital landscape
