Auditions: Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein”

Auditions for Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” will take place on Thursday, March 12th and on Friday, March 13th. Callbacks will be held Saturday, March 14th.

Mel Brook’s “Young Frankenstein” (August 6 – September 5, 2026). The grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. (This is the West End Version)

All roles are open. Housing and stipends will not be provided. Select your in-person audition date and time below.
