The Frankenstein Musical, a faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, has made its way to streaming platforms, including Prime Video, Fawesome, Filmzie, and Vimeo. This sweeping romantic musical, written and composed by Eric B. Sirota, premiered Off-Broadway in New York City in 2017 and ran for three years before the pandemic forced its pause.

The cast includes Daniel Robert Burns as Victor Frankenstein, Marc Christopher as the Creature, and Grace Hwoang as Elizabeth Lavenza. Orchestrations are by Kent Jeong-Eun Kim and Kim Jinhyoung.
The film, directed by Joe LoBianco, has garnered praise for its passionate melodies and "Phantom-like" score.
Eric B. Sirota, has written five full-length musicals. His other works include "Your Name on My Lips," which had two productions at the Theater for the New City where he was a resident playwright, and "A Good Day," inspired by his father's struggle with Alzheimer's.
