The
Producers is an amazing Broadway show that was actually a movie!
The play follows theatrical producer Max Bialystock and an accountant
named Leo Bloom. The two come up with a great idea. They decide to
raise money to create a Broadway fiasco, and then keep or “pocket” the
difference.
The Producers had become a sensation on Broadway. It has
earned more Tony Awards than any other show in the history of the
Great White Way. The show is
so popular, a new movie will be coming out based on the Broadway show staring
Nathan Lane (Timon from the Lion King Movie), Matthew Broderick (Inspector
Gadget 2) Uma Therman and Will Ferrell (Elf).
You can see this remarkable show at The St. James Theatre on 246 West 44th
Street. The show is about two hours and forty minutes with one intermission.
The show opened on April 19th, 2001.
