LOS ANGELES (April 10) - Mel Brooks thinks it is almost time for Frankenstein to sing and dance on Broadway.
The comic filmmaker, who made a monster hit musical out of his 1968 movie "The Producers," says he is adapting another of his classic film comedies for the stage -- this time the 1974 "Young Frankenstein," a spoof on the Frankenstein saga which he says is perhaps the best movie he ever made.
With no deadline set, Brooks says he is in the middle of writing the score, including a song for scary Frau Blucher, the caretaker of the Frankenstein castle still madly in love with that late, unlamented mad scientist.
When the musical is completed, Brooks says he will make a formal announcement to raise money.
