And it’s amazing Mel Brooks didn’t try to pander like a lot of creative properties did; he and everyone in this show did what felt awesome/funny to them. I never thought I’d say that a Mel Brooks musical that has Nazis, gender and racial stereotypes, and a number called “Springtime for Hitler” would have more passion and heart than some of the musicals I grew up with, but it’s true.
No. It's just incredibly entertaining. The greatest American musical is either Show Boat or Allegro. Or one of the Pulitzer-winners, like Of Thee I Sing or Sunday in the Park with George. Lots of people seem to agree that Gypsy is the greatest. And, of course, there are many fans of My Fair Lady.
Im Filipino, and even ive seen Le miserables, Sufeigolstamei, Hamilton, or even indie Starkids' Twisted. Mel Brooks Producers is just a tear inducing masterpeice. its one of those shows that really made a positive lingering impression on my life. Ever since 3 years ago the songs still hit me like a truck n continue to brighten my day when i hum it while i work
The amount of money I would’ve paid to be able to see Nathan and Matthew in this together. Unfortunately, at the time I was only eight years old so I didn’t know how great the show was until the movie came out in 2006 lol
This has totally made my day. I’d have given anything to be in the audience and see Nathan and Matthew performing this live. Such a brilliant musical and incredible performers!
A lot of people shame cameras in live shows, and I get that, but so many broadway productions have no filmed version so I see this as a preservation act rather than some kind of illegal bootleg. I'm glad this run was captured so we can have it forever.
But who in the theatre/film industry would be available for the roles? If it were me, I'd cast: Mark Hamill or Jack Black as Max Bialystock Donovan Patton or Jonathan Groff as Leo Bloom Bill Hader or Christian Borle as Franz Liebkind Neil Patrick Harris or Ian McKellen as Roger De Bris Randy Rainbow as Carmen Ghia Sutton Foster or Lena Hall as Ulla Rita Moreno as Hold Me Touch Me J.K. Simmons as Mr. Marks
I lived in Manhattan from 1999 to 2005. Me and my girlfriend back then walked by the theater box office before the show opened and thought about buying tickets but then passed. Then it became the biggest sensation in decades on Broadway. I have since loved the movie and me and my family just rewatch it again the other night. I'm still obsessed with the show. Thanks for uploading this video. I was walking the streets somewhere in New York this night I'm sure. How I miss New York city!
What's pretty funny is that Nathan and Matthew barely knew each other even after they did that film prior to The Producers. (My guess was that Lion King was doing the whole 'one person at a time in the recording booth' when it came to pretty much all the voice work.)

He’d just been diagnosed with a polyp the day before this apparently! He went off the next day to rest his voice. He does have a small crack in the opening number so it makes sense!
I was young when I saw this loved it so much. Was happy to brag on seeing this version of the producers. I remember when springtime for Hitler my family and I were jaw dropping. Thank you for loading this. I wish this was clear and available to see the broadway version then the movie. Just all the cast was perfect here. Movie they added too many big names that didn’t need to be there that were more distracting than enjoyable (Will and Uma).
You should revert the title back to 'TP'. It may be harder to find, but that's probably what's protected it from being taken down all this time. Also the date is wrong anyway. This is from November of 01.
i mean, considering what NY was experiencing the last quarter of 2001, i can see why this was such a balm for so many. adds a rather poignant touch to it all, i'd say.
I'm taking a chance here since you seems to have a lot of Broadway footage of that year... but do you happen to have to full show of The Full Monty ?? I'm trying to get a hold on a copy with the original cast of Broadway 2000-2001.☺
Nathan Lane just came back after suffering from a polyp here’s the article if you’re interested www.playbill.com/article/nathan-lane-out-of-the-producers-with-polyp-com-99525. I think he said “I had a polyp”. Idk but I know I heard polyp so he definitely referenced it
@@beek.4860 yeah it’s just that modern humor is so complex and these people laugh at the simplest “funny moments”. There’s a bit of conformity to it, too, though. If the whole crowd was laughing, I probably would too.
If there was an audio production of The Producers Musicial Jim Conroy could play Max Bialystock, Eric Bauza could play Leo Bloom, Jese Tyler Ferguson as Roger De Bris, Dee Bradley Baker as Franz Liebkind, Jodi Restler as Ulla, Dan Levy as Carmen.
He made the original (non musical) movie in 1968, after having no success getting it produced on Broadway as a straight play. Spent the next 30-some odd years making Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, et al. In the late 90s, he adapted The Producers into this here musical!
Mel Brooks has been in show business since the late 1940s. His first big break was writing for comedian Sid Caesar on the TV series Your Show of Shows. He worked mainly in television for 20 years before turning to film.
This musical swept the Tony's and broke every box office record... Is it safe to say this is one of the greatest musicals of all time?
Yes it absolutely is
And it’s amazing Mel Brooks didn’t try to pander like a lot of creative properties did; he and everyone in this show did what felt awesome/funny to them. I never thought I’d say that a Mel Brooks musical that has Nazis, gender and racial stereotypes, and a number called “Springtime for Hitler” would have more passion and heart than some of the musicals I grew up with, but it’s true.
I can't think of any better shows.
No. It's just incredibly entertaining. The greatest American musical is either Show Boat or Allegro. Or one of the Pulitzer-winners, like Of Thee I Sing or Sunday in the Park with George. Lots of people seem to agree that Gypsy is the greatest. And, of course, there are many fans of My Fair Lady.

Broadway Revival!! We need a revival of this musical!!
With Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells!
No we don’t! Stop ruining musicals obnoxious ass Mf!
Thank you so much for posting this very helpful slime tutorial, it's one of my favorites!
This needs to be a revival on Broadway immediately. I know I'd pay to see it
Same
But with Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick
But who in the theatre/film industry would be available for the roles? If it were me, I'd cast:
Mark Hamill or Jack Black as Max Bialystock
Donovan Patton or Jonathan Groff as Leo Bloom
Bill Hader or Christian Borle as Franz Liebkind
Neil Patrick Harris or Ian McKellen as Roger De Bris
Randy Rainbow as Carmen Ghia
Sutton Foster or Lena Hall as Ulla
Rita Moreno as Hold Me Touch Me
J.K. Simmons as Mr. Marks
@@tysargent9647
Alex Brightmen as Max is a MUST happen in my books 😊
I’m hearing rumors of one with Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells

that Oedipus joke used to completely go over my head when i was young
Dude same i think its possibly one my favorite jokes in the musical lol
LMAO at 1:50:44 you can see Gary crack and laugh after the first line, I had to pause to stop laughing myself
Best secret recording of 2001. I assume
funniest musical i've ever seen live. nice to see it back here, thanks
I can't help just hearing Timon and Simba's voices!
What's pretty funny is that Nathan and Matthew barely knew each other even after they did that film prior to The Producers. (My guess was that Lion King was doing the whole 'one person at a time in the recording booth' when it came to pretty much all the voice work.)
This is my favorite musical ever
Saw this production…one of the best ever …never forgotten
saved for posterity - thank you. Utterly magical,
Had to watch this a couple of times to see that Shirley is feeling up Ulla at 01:24:30.

Did anyone catch what Nathan said during “betrayed” after the “intermission” part?!? I can’t make it out
Something about him having polyps
He’d just been diagnosed with a polyp the day before this apparently! He went off the next day to rest his voice. He does have a small crack in the opening number so it makes sense!
Still waiting for Prisoners of Love on Broadway🤣
the perfect cast ❤❤❤❤❤ nathan , Mathew, beach ....all of them
I was young when I saw this loved it so much. Was happy to brag on seeing this version of the producers. I remember when springtime for Hitler my family and I were jaw dropping. Thank you for loading this. I wish this was clear and available to see the broadway version then the movie. Just all the cast was perfect here. Movie they added too many big names that didn’t need to be there that were more distracting than enjoyable (Will and Uma).
I saw this as a 12 year old, i now work as a producer. This entertainment changed and shaped my life
You should revert the title back to 'TP'. It may be harder to find, but that's probably what's protected it from being taken down all this time.
Also the date is wrong anyway. This is from November of 01.
I hope they'll make a broadway in manila
Mel Brooks is one comedic genius
Thank you
Masterpiece.
And the 2005 movie too.
I own that movie on DVD
@@jasminnemcdonald94A 😍😍😍
You are a god
Thank you!!! :)
i mean, considering what NY was experiencing the last quarter of 2001, i can see why this was such a balm for so many. adds a rather poignant touch to it all, i'd say.
I'm taking a chance here since you seems to have a lot of Broadway footage of that year... but do you happen to have to full show of The Full Monty ?? I'm trying to get a hold on a copy with the original cast of Broadway 2000-2001.☺
Can we revive this NOW?!?
All in favor of a Broadway revival, say "Aye!"
Now my friends that set is wild. Can you imagine running the flys????😊
Thank you, i've been searching it for years!
Is this on Broadway, or Chicago?
The very first shot is the marquee for ST. JAMES THEATER, so broadway
The best Broadvay 😂😂❤❤❤
Can anyone discern what Nathan says at 2:13:38 as an aside during Betrayed at the "intermission" pause that elicits such a big laugh?
Something about having a polyp, as Nathan Lane had been diagnosed with one a day before the play.
God bless you
Superb. Hysterical. And typical Mel Brooks. Gotta go back to Godzilla now. Domo arigato
Lol I needed tp...
If I could have a doorbell that plays "I Feel Pretty..."
🎉 Wang Center Boston Fantasma of the Opera Saw YHE T EM PRODUCERS ON BROADWAY 🎭 🎉
a triumph!!!
Even Hamilton couldn’t beat this play in the Tony record… I can see why!
Does anyone know what the joke at 2:13:34 is?
Nathan Lane just came back after suffering from a polyp here’s the article if you’re interested www.playbill.com/article/nathan-lane-out-of-the-producers-with-polyp-com-99525.
I think he said “I had a polyp”. Idk but I know I heard polyp so he definitely referenced it
@@carsoncarsoncarsoncarsonca8508 thank you so much!!!
I think Nathan said “away with the polyp”
"Walk this way" is a joke that never grows old. I wonder why that is.
2:08:13 travel intro music
“He Said he he Had the Biggest hits I pray souls Say
Interesting how often the crowd laughs…
just a wild guess but I think that might be because the show is funny
@@beek.4860 yeah it’s just that modern humor is so complex and these people laugh at the simplest “funny moments”. There’s a bit of conformity to it, too, though. If the whole crowd was laughing, I probably would too.

Gary Beach
2:13:34 what did he say, I really hope someone knows what he said
something about having a polyp because nathan lane had just returned from having a procedure caused by one

Do you have a google drive of this?
I got the producers movie in my Google drive.
drive.google.com/file/d/1eDB4Q1haYVR92TGxU6C4VoSsq3RZtW4h/view?usp=drivesdk
Here it is.
I got a movie and save it in my passport drive and google drive.
Mminute 5.00
Jim Conroy and Eric Bauza could play Max and Leo in an audio production of Producers with Dee Bradley Baker as Franz.
2:31:36: Nathan Lane mentioned 9/11's wrath that was 51 days and nights before this video's date's performance.
Isn't this the play that launched Mel Brooks' career?
The producers was his first film
He made the original (non musical) movie in 1968, after having no success getting it produced on Broadway as a straight play. Spent the next 30-some odd years making Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, et al. In the late 90s, he adapted The Producers into this here musical!
12 chairs, blazing saddles, young frankenstien, high anxiety, history of the world, need i go on???? All of them before this version
Mel Brooks has been in show business since the late 1940s. His first big break was writing for comedian Sid Caesar on the TV series Your Show of Shows. He worked mainly in television for 20 years before turning to film.
