After the closing performance of The Producers, there was this incredibly obnoxious man who would not shut up standing behind my friends and I. He kept reeling off "facts" that were 100% incorrect. One of the St. James ushers walks out of the stagedoor and he points at her and goes "Oh, her. She's an understudy for Hold-Me-Touch-Me!". I turn around and say "No. That's (insert name). She's an usher!" And he wanted to fight me on it. I said, "Listen, man. I've seen this show a freakish amount of times and I know all the ushers here.. and she's one of them."
So I turned around to mind my own business. John Treacy Egan comes out of the stage door and the guy screams in my ear "Oh, that's John Treacy! He was the original Max Bialystock on Broadway!" I turned to face him in disbelief. I said "You're kidding right?" He's like "Kidding about what? Him being the original Max? He was! He was great." I said, "Yes, he was great. And I think he's the best Bialystock. But NATHAN LANE was the original Max." Then he fought me on that.
Mind you, I was laughing hysterically in this guy's face. I'll spare you the rest of the "facts" he had, but you get the picture. I don't know. It might not be that funny if you're not big on The Producers, but I thought it might make someone laugh a little. Unless incorrect fact boy is here.. in which case, I'm glad I'm making fun of him. I wish I knew his name. I'd use it. lol.
We were fated to be mated. We're Bialystock & Bloom!
