Just saw this on the New York Post web site:

"Correction: Last week, I reported that the wonderful Kristin Chenoweth will play Inga in the upcoming reading of "Young Frakenstein." In fact, she'll be playing Elizabeth (the Madeline Kahn role). Sutton Foster will play Inga. A new addition to the cast is Brian D'Arcy James, who's been cast as Dr. Frankenstein."

It looks like the Apple Tree cast will be spending a lot of time together!

Man, I am so insanely excited for this. This is the ONE movie-turned-musical I'm actually looking forward to.


I couldn't have asked for a better casting of the Doctor.


Hooray Brian!

Or he could play Harold, the blind hermit. ("I was gonna make some espresso!")
