Honestly, I’m posting my Amazon wishlist only as a convenient indicator and reminder—for me, as much as you, the loyal reader—of current personal tastes and interests, not as an actual gift registry. (However, if you do find yourself inclined to make a purchase, who am I to stand in your way?)
Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick to return to The Producers? Cross your fingers! From Playbill:
A spokesman for the show confirmed news that appeared in New York City’s dailies Aug. 6: That the musical’s original Bialystock (Lane) and Bloom (Broderick) will probably return to the show at the St. James Theatre for three months at the end of the year.
“Discussions have been happening but no deals have been signed,” a spokesman for the show said. An announcement about the return of the duo is expected shortly, if the details can be worked out.
A New Year’s Eve start date has been speculated, with a three-month contract. Since the stories appeared, people have been inquiring at the box office and on phone lines for early 2004 tickets, but tickets for the famed show are only on sale through Dec. 28 at the moment. The on-sale date for tickets after Dec. 28 will be announced soon.
