There really is no party like a Perry O'Bree party! Our StageFaves vlogger was back in the West End for the opening night of the Mel Brooks musical YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (10 October 2017) and didn't stop laughing all night.

Written by Brooks and the late Thomas Meehan and based on the 1970s film, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a fast-paced, terrifically funny musical jam-packed with StageFaves talent. Perry was there all night to laugh along with the audience at the West End premiere of the hilarious show and managed to chat to the stars on the green carpet during the aftershow party!

Check out the twitter collection, watch the First Night Takeover video (with all the interviews!) and say a big CONGRATS to all the stars on a super-successful opening night on London's West End...

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic, see’s Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherit a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his deranged genius grandfather, Victor Von Frankenstein. He now faces a dilemma - does he continue to run from his family’s tortured past or does he stay in Transylvania to carry on his grandfather’s mad experiments reanimating the dead and, in the process, fall in love with his sexy lab assistant Inga?

Based on the hilarious 1974 film and co-written with Thomas Meehan, Brooks will once again collaborate with Broadway director and choreographer Susan Stroman for this all-singing all-dancing new production, bringing his and Gene Wilder’s classic movie to life on stage.
