For auditions, prepare a musical selection in the style of the show—it does not need to be from Young Frankenstein. A song excerpt is perfectly fine, but please memorize it so you can really show off your character. Bring sheet music with clearly marked starting and ending cuts for the pianist.

Auditionees will also be asked to perform a monologue “in character.” No memorization required.

Can’t make auditions? Video auditions are welcome! Please contact Kaylara Allington at kaylaraallington@gmail.com to submit.

From the wickedly funny mind of Mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein is packed with larger-than-life characters, mad science, spooky castles, suspicious servants, and one very abnormal brain. Join Frederick Frankenstein, Igor, Inga, Frau Blücher, and the Monster for a monstrously hilarious adventure through Transylvania featuring unforgettable songs, outrageous comedy, and enough electrifying energy to raise the dead.

Whether you dream of being a brilliant scientist, a mysterious castle caretaker, a yodeling villager, or part of a wildly funny ensemble, this show has a place for everyone.

What knockers! 😉
