Frankenstein film lands on Prime Video with soundtrack on major platforms

The screen adaptation of Eric B. Sirota’s stage musical Frankenstein is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and other services, while the award-winning cast album is available on major music platforms. The release extends a long-running Off-Broadway project that frames Mary Shelley’s novel as a romantic musical about empathy, companionship and the costs of isolation.

Why it matters: - The film gives Eric B. Sirota’s long-running Frankenstein musical a wider audience after its Off-Broadway run and festival circuit. - The soundtrack release puts the score on major streaming services, expanding the project beyond the screen. - The adaptation centers Mary Shelley’s novel as a story about love, companionship and empathy, not just science.

What happened: - Frankenstein is now available on Amazon Prime Video and other platforms. - The film is adapted from Sirota’s stage musical, which first appeared Off-Broadway in New York City in 2017 and ran for three years until the pandemic. - The movie was re-conceived for screen and directed by Joe LoBianco. - The cast includes Daniel Robert Burns as Victor Frankenstein, Marc Christopher as the Creature and Grace Hwoang as Elizabeth Lavenza. - The soundtrack album, titled Frankenstein Cast Album (Movie Musical), is available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon and Apple Music.

The details: - Sirota wrote and composed the film. - The production was independently produced by John Lant, Tamra Pica, Eric B. Sirota, Cara London, Joe LoBianco, Tom DiOrio and Maarten Cornelis. - Write Act, Tin Mirror, Gatehouse Entertainment and Day of Wrath Musicals were also involved. - Avail Films distributed the movie. - Orchestrations were by Kent Jeong-Eun Kim and Kim Jinhyoung. - The film is also available on Fawesome, Filmzie and Vimeo. - Fawesome and Filmzie offer the film free with ads. - Vimeo access is available through StreamingMusicals for $2. - The musical has won numerous film festival awards, including multiple Best Original Score honors. - Review quotes in the release describe the film as faithful to Shelley’s source material and praise its philosophical and musical scope.

Between the lines: - The adaptation is positioned as unusually faithful to Mary Shelley’s novel, with Victor Frankenstein working in isolation and without an assistant. - The release argues that Victor’s central flaw is not scientific ambition alone, but a lack of empathy and collaboration. - Sirota’s background as a physicist is used to frame the project as both artistic and intellectually grounded. - The project’s pitch leans on a contrast with more familiar Frankenstein retellings that emphasize monster mythology over Shelley’s emotional core.

What's next: - Supplementary materials from Sirota are available, including notes on writing musical theatre, adapting the novel and science in Frankenstein. - More information is available at the official project site. - The release also points viewers to Sirota’s website and social channels for updates.

The bottom line: - Frankenstein is now a cross-platform release, pairing a faith-forward screen adaptation with a streaming soundtrack push and a broader push to reframe Shelley’s novel as a story of emotional need.
