- Here is another rare treat for my fellow Broadway fans. This is the "King Of Broadway" number from the Broadway Smash Hit THE PRODUCERS that was filmed in 2001 in Chicago before the show came to Broadway in New York City!
This number introduced Nathan Lane's character Max Bialystock in the show and I have no idea why idea why it was cut from the movie version of the show.
It set up his character and the number shouldn't of been cut.
For those who missed the oppurtunity to see the Original Cast On Broadway, here you go. Enjoy this rare clip. : )
My mom waited in line two hours to get tickets for this tryout and time well spent to see the genius before Broadway.
This song is so addicting to me, especially with the choreography
its good to be the king!
I not understand this joke

I feel like BIalystok wants to grab the violinists face and say " Didn't I see you in Fiddler?"
I absolutely love Nathan Lane!! ❤️🎉
Thank you for sharing this!!
Thanks for posting this! Always interesting to spot any changes between the out-of-town tryouts and the final production on Broadway. For example, the middle section beginning at 2:40 (talking about his transportation, and how Max now takes the I.R.T) was changed in the final version talking about how he used to "wear the finest clothes/His shoes were always new/Now, I wear a rented tux/That's two weeks overdue!"
I love Nathan Lane such a talent and he’s excellent in the Producers (as all the cast were) thanks for sharing this
Why would they cut this out of the movie . . . dopey!!
it's in the movie
@@peteralfano4278 no it's not
@@haydenkharrazi well it was when I saw it. I know that. Maybe it eventually got cut. I remember thinking it looked really badly staged for film.
@@peteralfano4278 it’s a deleted scene
@@neonstarfish8391 yes I know. Did you read what I wrote? I saw this scene when I saw the film when I lived in Europe. I know what I saw! Ok? End of discussion.
The voice training the actors must have had to go through. I wish I could see something like this.
I bet before Broadway, his big recapping descent-into-madness number "Betrayed" lasted for SO MUCH LONGER...
This is a masterpiece
Wow, thanks you so much for sharing this
thanks for sharing this! Nathan is amazing :D and so is The Producers
OMG most of this is Fiddler!! My FAVE
I saw this at Papermill Playhouse it was great
I love it you' going to be my king of broadway love David 😊
Mel Brooks is the best ever!!
There's alottttttt of ppl that could never APRECIATE theater before watching this on Lary David curb your enthusiasm
Someone have the full show?
Do you have a recording of the whole Broadway play?
you need to post more !!
just my opinion... i think they cut this song from the film because of the "who do you have to fuck to get a break in this stinking town!!" but for real, esrb needs to calm down... at least its in the deleted scenes.
actually, they said they deleted the scene because not only did it add to the length of the film, it also didn't contribute much to Max's character, as his personality and intentions are clearly revealed during his first meeting with Leo...but i have a feeling the curses also had something to do with it >_
do you have the entire show??
Can you put betrayed, please?
NOTHING. COMPARES!!
Why was the best, funniest song in the show cut from the musical film? My guess is that since the number has klezmer-like elements, includes a hora dance and has a few Yiddish-sounding nonsense phrases, the studio deemed it "too Jewish." and cut it. What a stupid, insulting and ignorant move.
+EllenFD I feel like something being deemed "too Jewish" in a Mel Brooks movie...is...well, not likely.
The director's commentary on the DVD says they cut it for time, they wanted to get right into the story, and I take them at their word.
Yeah, most likely it was for the sake of time, and as much as I love the song too, for a movie adaptation, it flows a lot better and makes more sense to have the reveal of Bialystock be in his office. Why they kept the shot in the opening number of him buying a paper is anyone's guess, but what can you do? At least they filmed the song before deciding to cut it so we could see it preserved.
The film had a PG-13 rating. If Max had said, "Who do you have to fuck to get a break in this town?", it would have had an R rating, and no movie of this ilk wants that kind of rating. They knew it was the best thing, that's why they included it in the extras on the DVD.
Listening to this, I feel like I'm at a family wedding!!
@@bruiserbuk G-13 allows for ONE "fuck" so.. nope, thats not the reason. It was pacing.
DO YOU HAVE THE WHOLE SHOW??? I can trade original leggaly blonde canfransisco with lbbs shoe flying along with love and war???
Different lyric alert!
2:39 “There was a time he wore silk underwear
And drove a brand-new Rolls…
Now I take the IRT
Wearing jockey shorts with holes!”
