THE CAST IS GREAT, THE SCRIPT IS SWELL, BUT THIS WE'RE TELLIN' YOU, SIRS; IT'S JUST NO GO, YOU'VE GOT NO SHOW WITHOUT... The Producers, which closed on Broadway last night after six years, including 2,502 performances and a record twelve Tony Awards. Its touring companies will no doubt continue to run for years, and it may well prove to be Nathan Lane's The King and I, always available for him to sign up for a stint on the road when he needs the money, the work or the love.
Having proven he could make more money with a hit than with a flop, Mel Brooks' musical adaptation of Young Frankenstein will open at the same theater this fall. Currently booked are Megan Mullally in the Madeline Kahn role, Sutton Foster in Teri Garr's, and Shuler Hensley as The Monster. Under consideration: Eric McCormack (also of W&G) as Dr. Frankenstein, Roger Bart as Igor, and Andrea Martin as Frau Blücher.
