Tony Danza and Roger Bart will be playing Max and Leo in The Producers. I'm guessing that they're hoping that this will bring up ticket sales.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 11:47amDanza.No Bart.Yes. All I can say is The Producers has had more than a healthy run and maybe this will bring it to a close.

Tony is talented and he'll be fine, I am sure. (Although I see him more as Billy Flynn in CHICAGO 
Roger is- well Roger 
IMO, he is the best Leo after Matthew.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 11:56amI really can't see Danza as Max. I could see him more as Leo.

The same trite reactions, I see.
I can't see it either, but there's no point in throwing around the usual "god. no. please. no" reactions. We'll see how he does. I hope he does well. I'll see him.

Tony does a great Tony...or for a real change "Taxi in a tux".
Maybe they'll change the character name from Max to Mario. Maybe they can fly in the Hoff to join him just for added fun. Maybe Donny Osmond can join them. Carmen Ghia perhaps?
Maybe I'm happy these will all be limited contracts (hopefully).

Posted: 11/28/06 at 12:14pmI always wanted to see Roger in this role, so now I will finally get a chance!

Well at least we can now say they're officially in danger of closing within the year. As much as I like Tony Danza, you can't admit that he'd ever normally be cast in the show.
I don't really care if it closes soon or not. I think it's a fantastic show, but if Mel Brooks wants to bring a star-studded version of Young Frankenstein to Broadway I don't want to stop him.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 12:29pmOh, who cares? Tony will be fine and how many of you were really planning on seeing The Producers again anyways?

Posted: 11/28/06 at 1:18pmTony Danza singing Betrayed? No, thanks. Is Max now a former boxer/baseball player?

Danza is too old for Leo and I do not believe he has the physical or vocal stamina to do Max for very long. We shall see!

Posted: 11/28/06 at 3:29pmI know he's too old. He's just more the Leo type, I think.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 3:41pmTony MAY be good, you never know.
#22re: Danza and Bart to Star in The Producers
Posted: 11/28/06 at 3:49pmI have an easier time picturing him as Leo too.
