Front Row Seats

The NYPost reports that Mel Brooks is front and center at every Seattle performance of his new musical Young Frankenstein, price tag reported at $20 million. He considers that the show, just opening in Seattle is “75% there,” and he's touching it up for its New York debut in October.

The crowds on the West Coast love it as it is, so the Post suggests. They are—pardon their pun—in stitches all the way, but word has it that none of the new music tops “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”
