Shuler Hensley
Shuler Hensley, the creature from Young Frankenstein, talks about the development of his character in the new Mel Brooks musical, as well as his seeming affinity for playing monsters; sings a bit from The Phantom Of The Opera in German, recreating the role he played in Hamburg a decade ago; recalls the experience of playing Jud Fry in Oklahoma, contrasting the London and New York runs; describes the cast's training in simian mannerisms and theatrical flying for Tarzan; and draws an unexpected parallel between The Great American Trailer Park Music and a Jessye Norman recital.
