That delightfully devilish duo, Bialystosk & Bloom aka Nathan Lane
& Matthew Broderick are back to their old tricks in The Producers at the
St. James Theater. The planned return of Broadway’s favorite conners of little old
ladies was just the tonic needed to revive a moribund Broadway season.
Announcement of their re-teaming in the musical created a veritable box office
stampede and assured producers of an SRO run through April. On hand to lead the standing
ovation were Broderick’s wife, Sex in the City star, Sarah Jessica Parker,
Barbara Walters and Hairspray creators Scott Whittman and Marc
Shaiman. With a record breaking 8 Tony awards, The Producers is still Broadway’s hottest ducat – if you can find one! Last week ticket sales brought in an unheard of figure in broadway annals – a staggering $1.6 million dollars
