Good Max and Leo's

I think Chip Zien(the baker in the original cast of "Into The Woods") would make a good Leo. Also, he kinda looks like Gene Wilder with the hair-lol-the original Leo in the Producers movie. I think he would work well with Ernie Sabella.

I didnt like the show either to tell you the truth. I think its tonys were not well deserved. I found 42nd street funnier. I think The Producers is very overrated.

I've seen the show a number of times with every cast combination except Henry Goodman and the current Max and Leo. Nathan is unbeatable with Brad Oscar quite good. Jason Alexander grew on me and I ended up enjoying his take on Max. Matthew, in my opinion, can't be beat as Leo (and I also think he was the key to making Nathan's Max so good -- pure chemistry, the two of them!) with Roger Bart a close second. I strongly disliked Steven Weber as Leo and when Martin didn't go over the top, he was good. Both Steven and Martin made Leo too silly and confident. Leo might gain confidence, but he's still nebbish and timid. Gene Wilder played a great Leo, too. As to future,. Max and Leos, I can't think of any right now.

Right! Steven was OK at the beginning of his run in the role (I just missed Matthew having seen him play the part five times) but a few months later, he played the part so corny and silly, as if he was one of the Marx Brothers!

Same here- I saw Jamie, too. I thought he was great. He'd be a good permanent Leo.

A month ago, I saw The Producers with Lewis J. Stadlen and Don Stephenson. I thought it was very excellent, Stadlen's performance as Max was quite good I believe. He was very funny, his voice was kind of annoying at times, but overall I thought he was outstanding! Stephenson was absolutely hysterical! He looked a lot like Gene Wilder and sounded a little like Matthew Broderick! He was veyr funny and had full of energy as well! I was so happy to finally see the production, I hope that the plans for the movie are going well and I hope to see Nathan and Matthew play their parts!
