The Producers

Pros: Totally and completely entertaining, music, dance, comedy, all of it!
Cons: Was over too soon.

I love the theater, always have and always will...Last night just proved to me once again just how entertaining and exciting it can be to see a Broadway Production even if it’s not on Broadway. As a gift for our anniversary last month my ...

Pros: I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.
Cons: None really, unless you wanted something new and fresh...

Slick Broadway productions aren't usually the kind of theatre that I go for. I'm kind of a bohemian snob when it comes to theatre: I prefer dramatic works with a literary bent, and I'm usually more inclined towards the kinds of shows that New Yorkers ...

Pros: Incredible production values and slick presentation...
Cons: ...songs are a bit weak.

It has often been said that Mel Brooks' debut 1968 film The Producers came across like it was written for the stage. It took over thirty years for this to come about though, and in 2002 the new musical version opened on Broadway with Nathan Lane ...

Pros: A true original :)
Cons: None

I recently saw the touring show of The Producers in Detroit and it was absolutely fabulous :) I would have loved to see it with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, but I still loved it none the less! Now here is why you should all go see The Producers ...

Pros: High-voltage performances by Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
Cons: Over-the-top (three jokes where one would do) and somewhat derivative.

The Producers follows the movie on which it is modelled rather closely, and the relatively few changes from the
movie script are generally for the better, and required by the characteristics of a staged production. The movie's music written for the...

Pros: Lane,Broderick, the cast, the music, the Mel Brooks humor, sets....EVERYTHING!
Cons: The near-impossibility of obtaining tickets before Lane's and Broderick's contracts expire

As long as I can remember, I have had an interest, if not quite a fully developed passion for the theatre and all things theatrical. I engulfed myself in movies, opting most often for those filled to the brim with comedy, excitement, and especially...

Pros: A spirited new musical that really is the best musical in a long time.
Cons: It's so over-hyped that you may simply be disappointed

Thinking about seeing the most talked about Broadway show, the most critically acclaimed musical, the biggest Box Office success and probably the show with the hardest to get tickets? Well, sure The Producers is the biggest hit on Broadway of all time...

Pros: Probably THE funniest musical ever!
Cons: Tickets cost a fortune and are virtually impossible to come by.

We managed to get tickets to the Producers before the reviews hit, and the price of tickets skyrocketed. Although I am a Mel Brooks fan and loved the movie, I was concerned that it could never live up to the hype. It did and then some (which is a good...

Pros: very funny & not for homophobics
Cons: not for homophobics

We'll what can I say about the Producers –It was not the best musical I ever seen – The music wasn't the greatest I ever hared – The production wasn't the best I ever seen– The story – well I knew the story already. So Did I had a ...

Pros: One of the most enjoyable performances I have ever experienced! FUNNY!!!!!!
Cons: Intermission!

When I planned my vacation in NYC, I had not seriously thought about including a Broadway play, even though my hotel was just two blocks from the Theater District. But at the urging of one of my family members, who was accompanying me, we were able to...

Pros: Awesome everyone was fantastic!!
Cons: The availability of tickets when the stars are there. I wish everyone could see it.

I live in nearby Connecticut and have the pleasure of going to many Broadway shows. By far this blows the rest of them away. I paid three times the face value of the tickets but I have to say it was the best money I have ever spent. Mr Lane and Mr Broderick I only can say Kudos, what a splendid performance. The set the singing the costumes the cast I was in heaven for three hours. If they ever come back for another show.... run not walk and pay what ever it takes to see this with them. The last show with them, for now, is this week so unless you already have tickets you probably won't see them this time around. I was literally sitting there thinking, WOW, I will cherish this forever.
