Giveaway: Young Frankenstein + Powerhouse food!

12/06/2010 nwamamas

Note from the mamas: Congratulations, Corbett Warren! You won the Young Frankenstein tickets and dinner at Powerhouse 🙂

If you’ve been hoping to sit down just for a few minutes this holiday season, we’ve got a giveaway that will help you relax — AND make you laugh hysterically.

The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, a new musical comedy from the creative team of the 12-time Tony¼ Award winning smash The Producers, is coming to Walton Arts Center’s Baum Walker Hall for eight performances Tuesday, December 14 through Sunday, December 19.

We’ve got TWO tickets to give away to one lucky mama — and her equally lucky date — for the Tuesday, Dec. 14, show at 7 p.m.

You’ll be able to sit down in a restaurant, too! A yummy restaurant. Powerhouse Seafood and Grill near Walton Arts Center will be your dinner date destination!!!

ABOUT THE SHOW: Based on the OscarÂź-nominated smash hit 1974 film, Young Frankenstein is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. When Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius Victor Von Frankenstein, he 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?

Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein and the foggy moors of Transylvania Heights, the show’s raucous score includes “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ On the Ritz.”

ABOUT THE FOOD: Powerhouse is a locally owned restaurant just off Dickson St. that’s known for its delicious seafood and steaks. They also have lobster, crab, chicken and pasta. Boarshead Pub is in the back of the restaurant and on nice days the patio is open for business. Fun place with yummy food!
