"Producers" - Review

Just got back from a WONDERFUL regional production of "The Producers." I went with my parents, brother, and grandmother. I thought that I would hate it, and that my family would be offended, but we all loved it! The Max was amazing, and the Leo was good as well. I couldn't really hear the Ulla (her mic was not working probably), but most of the cast was great. Especially the Roger. It was one of the funniest shows that I have ever seen in my whole life. They even did some inside-jokes, like in "Betrayed", when Max says intermission (it's a dinner theatre), so he said "Oh, time to wait tables" and also "Oh, I'm sweating. So much water. Even Michael Phelps doesn't swim in this much water". The ensemble was great, especially during "Along Came Bialy". Overall, it was a 5-star show. 100%. I would definitely see it again. It was probably even better on Broadway.

Anyway, it's great that you all enjoyed the show. I think The Producers is gonna have a long regional after-life.

What theatre what is?

That's easily the worst Ulla I've ever heard about.

Are you in the show, know someone in the show, have something invested in this particular production of the show?

Did you see the Westchester Broadway dinner theater production?

I wasn't in the show. I knew people in the show. I've done shows there before. It wasn't at Westchester. I was referring that in the "intermission" part, he added "Time to wait tables", which I'm guessing wasn't on Broadway, and the Michael Phelps part wasn't on Broadway (well, maybe in the later run of the show, probably not, though). I don't want to reveal my identity/location. That's why I didn't put the theatre.

On Broadway when Max says "Intermission" the actor would usually just sit down on the prison cot and look around or check his watch or something. Then he'd stand up and resume the song.

He neglected to say that Ulla was played by a mime.

...a small oversight.

It's very possible. Musicaltheaterfan3 could have easily mistaken the intermission snack bar for a full dinner theater.

Anything's can happen when your home is "over the rainbow".

Now if he did that in a dinner theater production, the patrons would think he was peeing into their gimlets.

Such bad taste!

Throwing it out there:

this is possibly the most useful thing MTF has posted on these boards since the time he/she said he/she was quitting, but they came back, so it doesn't count.
