Aww, see Young Frankenstein! It's a fun show, and Christopher Fitzgerald (Igor) is amazing!!!!!! as are Roger Bart and the rest of the cast, esp. Beth Leavel. It's no Gypsy, but I've never laughed more at a show than this one. Really, Christopher Fitzgerald is worth the price of admission. If nothing else, try the lotto. You can't beat seeing the show for only $27. 
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."
