Frankenstein (Musical): Film Screening & Talkback
A sweeping romantic musical about the human need for love and companionship.



Based on Mary Shelley’s novel, FRANKENSTEIN, is a sweeping romantic musical about the human need for love and companionship.

Having lost his mother at a young age, Victor Frankenstein seeks to end human mortality and arrogantly enters territory beyond his control. While he enjoys unconditional love from Elizabeth, he grants none to his creation.

Written and composed by Eric B. Sirota , this compelling, thought-provoking adaptation with passionate melodies and a "Phantom-like" award-winning score, was first produced onstage Off-Broadway in NY, and ran for 3 years until the pandemic.  Then re-conceived for screen and directed by Joe LoBianco, it was filmed in Union City New Jersey and has gone on to win numerous film festival awards.
