About The Show…
Frankie & Igor: Live From The Dead is a brand new, wickedly funny musical act with the spirit of a retro variety show, and it’s destined to be a hit with vintage horror fans – living, dead, or in-between! Ever wonder what would happen if Doctor Frankenstein built a monster with the brain of Steve Martin and the vocal cords of Michael Bublé? Well light your torches and freshen those cocktails, because here come Frankie & Igor – a comedy band with a fabulously frightening twist!
Re-animated by a creative team with decades of themed entertainment experience, this hilarious production is bursting at the seams with unforgettable big band jazz music (all with electrifying new instrumentation), and it brings to life a heart-thumping lineup of sensational songs from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Junior, and more! But the fun doesn’t end with terrific tunes… When a surprise visit from Dracula sends one band member headed back to the grave, the others have to perform an impromptu reanimation, live onstage!
Packed with spectacular music, side-splitting comedy, and spine-tingling special effects, this show is sure to have the audience laughing, dancing, and screaming for more…
Listen
to the
Madness!

Noel Melanio – Igor / Music
The musical mayhem of Frankie & Igor: Live From The Dead has been resurrected by symphonic psycho, Noel Melanio!

Noel’s additional musical accomplishments include arranging and recording music for the LEGO Batman Movie, arrangements for Army of the Dead (Netflix), co-writing the original song “I Love Boobies” for Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar (Lionsgate), and performing in the house bands for Jimmy Kimmel Live! (Las Vegas) and The Daytime Emmy Awards. Noel’s expertise in themed entertainment is bolstered by his considerable performance experience as a pianist, harpsichordist, keyboardist, bassist, and – last, but not least – accordionist at the Disneyland Resort (2012 – present).
