LETTERMAN 01-03-08: Young Frankenstein

While some friends think I may be big on theater, not quite the case. Something about a show usually has to 'hook' me.
Back in elementary school Mr. Fox would organize a few class trips to some broadway musicals. At least I think it was a few. At the moment I can only remember "Barnum". A musical about PT Barnum (of circus fame). Years later one of my best friends got tickets to the musical "SideShow" a story about the Daisy and VIolet Hilton, conjoined twins.
Breaking the circus/sideshow theme, the next show I saw was "Contact the musical". It has nothing to do with the Carl Sagan novel or the Jodie Foster movie. Now I'm a bit interested to see "Young Frankenstein" primarily because of this number. Wasn't familiar with Sutton Foster who plays 'Inga', but apparently she is a broadway actress of some 'note'.
