The Mel Brooks-Thomas Meehan musical is one of the Great White Way’s true juggernauts, surviving cast changes and the debut of other mega-shows (such as Monty Python’s Spamalot across the street at the Shubert Theatre) to consistently bring in top box office numbers.
Below, a backstage celebration after the milestone performance is seen, as the cast and crew were treated to a specially made birthday cake to mark the occasion.
The Producers plays at the St. James Theatre on West 44th Street.
