Frankenstein the Musical

See it if you like the story in songs where some were powerful, some very lovely and sweet, and some sounded the same. Intimate feeling to the theater

Don't see it if you don't like too much singing of some long songs that sounds repetitive.

Also Good voices and singing all around. For a couple of the songs the key board player could have played a little softer so the words to the songs could be heard.
I was touched by the monster's performance when he expressed how hopeless and lonely he felt, shunned by all of humanity. His yearning to be loved by a partner was to no avail that when the girlfriend, and then wife to Dr. Frankenstein, met the monster, and even though she was the only one who felt compassion for the monster it was too late.... Read more Read less

See it if You like a cast of talented actors with a story line and musical song numbers in between. The lead actor playing Frankenstein was great.

Don't see it if You like modernized twists on stories. And movement within the aisles of a play or stage

See it if You like modern music around retelling a of old tales, a cast who were “all in” with their performances, creative use of space for staging

Don't see it if You need fancy sets, perfect singing, don’t care for modern music

See it if you enjoy the Frankenstein story in all its incarnations

Don't see it if you don't like opera type musicals

Also Very good singing.
And lots of it.
Scenery and props kind of amateurish.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a show with potential. Like experimental imstrumentation. Want to see the original story told.

Don't see it if You want perfection and are not into off-Broadway smaller productions.

Also This show has some good potential. Being in a small theater the actors were not miced so we lost some lyrics. The lead, Dr Frankenstein, overacts a bit and should ramp it down. Great voices all around and a very imventive sound to the band with all percussion, a cello and a few imteresting imstrumental choices. A tighter and bigger production of this would be nice. The ghoulish dancers were not needed though. But by the end, I was entertained and the story was told well.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a new take of 'Frankenstein' with some catchy songs and great acting.

Don't see it if you want something new and different. It does what it says on the tin.

See it if you have a keen interest in this famous tale

Don't see it if you are expecting a new twist on the dated story of Frankenstein

See it if You’re desperate to see a Frankenstein tale that focuses on Mary Shelley.

Don't see it if “Frankenstein: The Musical” makes you expect a musical version of Frankenstein.

Also Robert Fairchild’s artistry needs support from the text

See it if You like live music, are ok with a semi-professional production and don't need the Monster to be even remotely scary.

Don't see it if You have other options for the evening, get easily distracted, or can't sit still if the production isn't exactly riveting.

Also I really wanted to like this show but they lost me in the first five minutes, and they never really drew me back in. Some of the moments were really nice, but so much was just off or distracting. It especially bothered me that the live music didn't add as much as it should have to the production because it was bland and repetitive. As I walked out, all I could think about, were the other shows I could have gone to instead.... Read more Read less

See it if you have absolutely nothing else to do. I used funny to describe it but I don't think it was meant to be funny

Don't see it if you enjoy good theater

See it if you follow every Frankenstein story and want to see a bold musical based on this familiar classic.

Don't see it if you are looking for something of high quality that is meaningful, unique, entertaining or thought-provoking.

See it if no.

Don't see it if no. Just no.

See it if You have absolutely nothing better to do, like watch paint dry.

Don't see it if You are expecting good music, voices or plot.

See it if Don't. Not tuneful. Not clever. Nothing new to add to the Frankenstein canon.

Don't see it if Not worthwhile.

See it if you like the story and are Frankenstein crazy

Don't see it if you are hard of hearing because you will not hear half the cast.

See it if Dont see it...anyway over

Don't see it if You can get tickets for anything else

See it if You are dying to see an adaptation of the book and are okay watching crummy singers try to act.

Don't see it if You love the book. It's one of my favorites and I was extremely disappointed by the book. The score was pretty good, but the actors weren't.

See it if Some good actors

Don't see it if If you want to see how frankenstein should be on stage

See it if You love a small setting and want to be super close to the house band and foggy stage or need a laugh.

Don't see it if Frankenstein ate your brain

See it if You like Frankenstein adaptations.

Don't see it if You don't appreciate musicals.

See it if You like the classics trying to be great

Don't see it if You have seen any other interpration

See it if If you have too much free time and love wasting money. If you’re a fan of weird choreography go ahead. If you want to support small cast.

Don't see it if I couldn’t tell if the it was the bad acting or the awful dialogue that ruined the show for me. A highschool could do better.

See it if You love the story of Frankenstein (especially the book) and/or love steampunk

Don't see it if You don't like the steampunk or Gothic genres
