Frankenstein: The Musical
February 21 – March 9, 2025
Forget all you have seen in the movies—this is not a Hollywood scare-fest populated by lumbering ghouls and wild-eyed maniacs. This is Mary Shelley’s original, brilliant, romantic terror—a dark vision of what lies at the depths of the human soul and what happens when its full power is unleashed.
Frankenstein: The Musical tells the timeless, cautionary tale of Victor Frankenstein, whose obsession with “advancing” technology unleashes a litany of terror and tragedy. In this stage adaptation, authors Mark Baron and Jeffrey Jackson explore the great promise and grave pitfalls of Discovery, in a work that is uniquely faithful to Mary Shelley’s original novel. Skylight promises a bold, new perspective on this classic text for modern theater audiences.
This performance contains safely staged, simulated violence and death, inoperable stage weapons, loud sound cues, theatrical haze, strobe lights, projections, and mature themes.
