The Producers (2009)

Welcome to THE PRODUCERS. If you enjoy this show half as much as I have
enjoyed working on it, you’re going to hurt yourself laughing! Mel Brooks, who is
well known for his in-your-face kind of humor pulled out all the stops in this show.
He created a bunch of Runyon-esque characters and threw them into a plot that
the normal mind could not conceive. In addition, he wrote an incredible score
and if you listen carefully to it, you will hear all sorts of hints from other Broadway
classics. THE PRODUCERS has been referred to as an “equal opportunity offender.”
It pokes fun at just about everyone… but in Mel’s words… “We want to
get people laughing; we don’t want to offend anybody.”

Putting this show on has been quite a fete. There is a lot to it: lots of sets & props,
lots of costumes, and lots of cast. I was so thankful to be teamed up with two of
the best co-directors in this area, Judy Hayward and Valerie Psoinos. My luck
prevailed when all of the folks listed on the production and tech teams signed on
– as far as I’m concerned, they are the best of the best, and the hardest-working
folks you will ever come across! Then we were truly blessed with the group of
folks that were cast… they have continued to blow us away throughout this whole
process.

Thanks for coming to see us. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks, JTL!!
