The three men at the center of The Producers: Matthew Broderick, who plays shy accountant Leo Bloom, Mel Brooks, who created the film and has now written the score for the musical and Nathan Lane who stars as Max Bialystock.
The Producers, based on the classic Brooks film and featuring all new songs from Brooks, will open April 19 at the St. James Theatre. Chicago sees the new tuner first with a run at the Cadillac Palace Theatre Feb. 1-25 before Broadway previews begin March 22.
