A musical loosely based on the classic novel, it premiered in 2014 in South Korea. Victor Frankenstein has always had a close bond with his friend Henri, but when Henri sacrifices himself to save Victor, Victor decides that this is the moment to bring his long-held dream of creating life to fruition, and attempts to bring him back. It doesn't work out, and the monster, rejected by his creator, wanders off into the world and finds many familiar faces in the underbelly of the city.
This show provides examples of:
- And You Were There: The act 2 characters are all played by the same actors as the act 1 characters, and are intentionally in contrast with them.
- Came Back Wrong: The monster has Henri's body, but he is not Henri.
- Deathly Dies Irae: "The Grand Beginning of the History of the Creation of Life"
, Victor's somewhat mad-scene solo as he creates the monster after the death of Henri, features some. - Off with His Head!: Henri goes to the guillotine in Victor's place, singing proudly about their friendship.
