the review threads of Kyuhyun and Euntae’s final performance together in Frankenstein together have been making me crazy so I had to draw their North Pole 🥺 I’m so happy they were allowed to do so much for an officially recorded performance and have their final show as a pair be a really special one

An Intro to WYB's "Frankenstein"

Hello! It's me again with some good ol' "Frankenstein" propaganda. I've posted about this musical before on previous polls and I'm super happy it's made it this far into this competition! I do also love "School of Rock" and I'll use this opportunity to share the word of "Frankenstein" and hopefully some of y'all will consider checking it out when you have the time! Once again, this won't have any major spoilers.

There are big differences between WYB's "Frankenstein" musical and the novel it was based off of, but the core themes are the same. Victor Frankenstein is still as much of a dumbass as ever. But this time, he has a boyfriend to be a dumbass with. Similar in vibes to Henry Clerval from the novel, meet the musical's Henry Dupre:

Henry Dupre meets Victor Frankenstein on the battlefield at Waterloo, where Victor saves him from being accused as a spy. In return, Victor asks Henry to assist him with creating super soldiers out of the war's fallen. Henry is reluctant at first, but agrees for the future of humanity. They become fast friends. Henry tells Victor's sister that Victor is "more than a friend to him" and continues to help Victor with his research and... not get Victor's drunken ass kicked at a bar. Wherever Victor Frankenstein goes, Henry Dupre is following right behind.

After getting drunk at a bar, the two meet up with an undertaker who states he can give Victor fresh materials for his research (fresh materials being a recently-deceased man's head/brain). Turns out, the undertaker killed a man to sell to Victor. Victor gets pissed and beats him to death with a rock. Believing he owes a debt to Victor for saving him on the battlefield, Henry takes the blame for Victor's crime and is sentenced to death by guillotine. Can you see where this is going? Victor needs a fresh head to complete his research...

Yes, Henry's head is used to finish the creation. For act 2, Henry's actor plays the creature. The creature has a miserable time for a few years, and visits Victor Frankenstein again to declare his revenge against him. And then the rest of this wonderful musical happens!

Why You Should Vote For "Frankenstein"

WYB's "Frankenstein" musical is definitely a different take on the classic novel by Mary Shelley. However, that's a not a bad thing. It's a unique musical that is full of spectacular sets and effects, and a storyline that is unlike anything you've imagined. If you've never seen it, this post won't really have any big spoilers, but I'll give you just an idea on what the storyline is.

Victor Frankenstein meets Henry Dupre on the battlefield, where Victor saves him from being wrongfully accused of being a spy. Instead, he takes Henry into his research division where they are, you guessed it, trying to reanimate life. Frankenstein's goal is to create a soldier out of the corpses of the war's fallen. Henry is hesitant at first, but decides to join Victor's dream.

One thing leads to another and they get drunk at a bar (in a very fun, wonderfully gay song where Henry tries to cheer his friend up), and, long story short, Victor murders an undertaker.

Henry takes the fall for the crime in order for Victor to continuing perusing his dream. Sentenced to death by the guillotine, Henry says he has no regrets. With lyrics such as "If we could dream together, dying is okay, I'm happy" and "My heart was pounding. The moment I met you was like a miracle", this is yet another gay song.

Anyway, Henry's head gets chopped and Victor decides to use his best friend's head as a material to reanimate his creature. After his creature/bestie wakes up, needless to say, all hell breaks loose.

Frankenstein is full of fun characters that aren't in the original novel. Fan favorites are Eva and Jacques, a married couple who runs a violent fighting ring. These two are so evil (affectionate). Jacques is 100% my favorite character due to his absolute silly little bastard energy. Another unique aspect of this musical is that each main actor plays two roles. In this case, Victor Frankenstein is played by the same actor as Jacques-- just like how the creature is played by the same actor as Henry Dupre.

This musical has it all: tragic whumpy gay love story, fun little characters, comedy, pain, a great soundtrack, amazing costuming, and a finale that has left me in tears. And I cannot stress how amazing the dance and fight choreography are. It's some of the best I've ever seen in a musical. Like, look at this! It really looks like he's being punched in the face!

"Frankenstein" is definitely one of my favorite musicals ever, and it should be yours too.
