Wexford Light Opera Society return with monstrously funny Mel Brooks comedy ‘Young Frankenstein'
There was a degree of expectation around Wexford Light Opera Society as the production team behind last year's award-winning Phantom of the Opera got the band back together for their next production.
They certainly managed to keep up with those expectations with the monstrously funny Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks which enjoyed a wonderful reception from an appreciative audience on opening night at the National Opera House on Monday.
Adapted from the 1974 cult film classic, the stage version is packed with laughs, catchy tunes and fantastic dance numbers all performed with gusto by a stellar WLOS cast.
Returning to the stage were some familiar faces and voices, including Pat Lawlor, Antonia Close, Brian Kelly, Stephen Byrne, Dylan Walsh and Sophie Blaney-Parslow. This year also features some new faces with Colin Flynn, David Doyle, Kacey Mooney and Keith Flanagan all making their debut with Wexford Light Opera Society.
The show also features a visually stunning set, lively choreography and the kind of slapstick humour which tickled the first audiences to catch it.
The show runs until May 3 and the last of the remaining tickets can be purchased via or by calling the box office on 0539122144.
