From the creators of The Producers comes the celebrated West End Version of this monster musical comedy. Featuring slight revisions and enhancements made by the original Broadway creative team, Young Frankenstein (West End Version) is ready to shock your audience! The grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced Fronk-en-steen) inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced Eye-gore), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. It's alive! he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes, and hilarity continuously abounds.

Long before Bridgerton broke the Netflix algorithm, Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) had helped establish classical crossover as a genuine force in contemporary music. Fresh off high-profile placements in Seasons 1 and 2 of the aforementioned streaming smash, VSQ has reached a mainstream, global audience (Variety) and charmed the world with their classical covers (Nylon). New York Observer wrote, VSQ's atmospheric hits have made classical versions of pop music cool. On their latest tour, VSQ have created fresh arrangements of the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift, performing spellbinding and innovative renditions of Swift's music, alongside familiar hits from Billie Eilish, BTS, Bridgerton, The Weeknd to Daft Punk. VSQ are one of the most popular string ensembles in the world with over 2 billion streams and seven albums charting on both Billboard Classical and Classical Crossover charts.

Bestselling, award-winning novelist, Leif Enger, a story-teller of great humanity and huge heart (Minneapolis Star Tribune), will discuss his most recent novel, I Cheerfully Refuse.

Set in a not-too-distant America roiled by climate change and societal collapse, I Cheerfully Refuse is the tale of a bereaved and pursued musician, the affable Rainy, who sets sail across Lake Superior in search of his departed, bookseller wife. The Gulliver-like challenges of life on a turbulent sea grow into something wide and wild, sweeping up friends and foes alike in its strengthening wake. I Cheerfully Refuse is a harrowing nautical tale buoyed by beauty and unexpected kindness--a symphony against despair and a rallying cry for the future.
