Chicago favorites Ross Lehman and Guy Adkins are Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, respectively, in Marriott Theatre's new production of Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan's The Producers.
The Sept. 5-Dec. 2 Lincolnshire, IL, staging is one of the first major regional productions of the Broadway smash based on the film comedy of the same name. Pioneer Theatre Company in Salt Lake City is among other resident American theatres serving the show in 2007-08. (The show popped up over the summer on some summer-stock slates, including the Augusta Barn Theatre in Michigan.)
