The original cast recording for the new Mel Brooks musical, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, based on the Oscar-nominated smash-hit 1974 film.
The cast which includes Roger Bart ('Desperate Housewives'), Megan Mullally ('Will & Grace'), Tony Award winner Sutton Foster ('Drowsy Chaperone') and Tony Award winner Shuler Hensley ('Oklahoma'), SCTV's Andrea Martin, Fred Applegate ('The Producers') and Christopher Fitzgerald ('Wicked') have recorded the soundtrack with producer Doug Besterman.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, which features a book by three-time Tony Award winner Mel Brooks and three-timeTony Award winner Tony Meehan amd music and lyrics by Brooks, opened on Broadway on 8 November. The show is directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman. Musical supervision is by Glen Kelly.

Based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit 1974 film, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. When Frederick Frankenstein. an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius, Victor Von Frankenstain, he faces a dilemma. Does he continue to run from his family's tortured past or does he stay in Transylvanie to carry on his grandfather's mad experiments reanimating the dead, and in the process, fall in love with his sexy lab assistant Inga? Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein and the foggy moors of Transylvannia Heights, the show's raucous score includes 'The Transylvannia Mania', 'He Vas My Boyfriend' and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's 'Puttin On the Ritz'.

Just like 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter', The Golden Compass has all the magical elements to be a huge hit this Christmas : a fantasy adventure, based on the best-selling Philip Pullman novel of the same name (part of the 'His Dark Materials' Trilogy); special effects galore and an outstanding cast, which includes NICOLE KIDMAN and DANIEL CRAIG. Long-awaited and much talked about, THE GOLDEN COMPASS will appeal to children and adults alike and is destined to be one of the major celluloid successes of the festive season. As well as a magical score by Alexandre Desplat, the Decca soundtrack features an exclusive song by acclaimed singer/songwriter KATE BUSH. Kate Bush, the superstar who brought us 'Wuthering Heights', has written and recorded the original song, 'Lyra' in her own studio and it features The Magdalen College Choir Oxford. 'Lyra' will be featured over the film's end titles. ALEXANDRE DESPLAT ('The Queen', 'The Painted Veil', 'Girl with a Pearl Earring') said of his latest project: "Philip Pullman has created a world in which a composer can release his imagination and watch it float into other realms", and that is just what he has done. The orchestral score is all high adventure, magic and wonderment.
