Hello All,
I know Nathan Lane is scheduled for London's The Producers for "three months," but does anyone know the exact day that will be his last day? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

The way I read the title of this thread, I thought...Is he sick?
Did he have an accident? Does the Grim Reaper post on this board?
:)

With all the health problems Nathan's had in the past several years, that is one scary kinda subject line!
I've read repeatedly that his final performance in the UK Producers is Saturday, January 8th. Anyone confirm?

I think it really is, Heart.
Of course, with those reviews (what a surprise, huh?) Mel will want him to stay on for "just a few more weeks" and I hope to hell Nathan refuses.
Ugh.

Posted: 11/10/04 at 3:08pmHis last day is 1/8 - unless Brooks can't pull of a replacement and then all bets are off. In any case, he has to be back here to start filming the movie in February but it would be nice if they gave him a vacation.

The end date IS 1/8 though Brooks has been asking Lane to stay on awhile because the box office is so strong and reviews with his performance are so great. Brad Oscar is the likely replacement for awhile followed by a Brit (who has not FORMALLY been announced but is nearly formalized)
HOWEVER...even if Lane extends a few days...Stroman has promised him at least a month off before they start the Producers (which is scheduled to begin filming in mid February - the third week, I believe) so there isn't much wiggle room.
