  • Here is a rare treat for my fellow Broadway fans. This is the I WANT TO BE A PRODUCER 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! For those who missed the oppurtunity to see the Original Cast On Broadway, here you go. Enjoy this rare clip. : )

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the "Debit" bit was a satirical take off of "Ol Man River", comparing the life of CPAs to southern black dock workers. See video of Paul Robeson singing it. Self explanatory. "Ol' Man River" is a song in the 1927 musical Show Boat that contrasts the struggles and hardships of African Americans with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi; it is sung from the point-of-view of a black dock worker on a showboat and is the most famous song from the show.

    I thought in NYC, somewhere , they have a Broadway history archive. Recent shows have films and recording, older ones have staging, set construction , etc. I think it is available to art? Students? ... anyway I could be wrong. I looked it up, The producers was a movie first, a play at turn of the century, and made to a movie circa 2005... and my library only has Mostel and Wilder movie version. I will say MB received an Oscar for his writing, a n d he had a talented cast for every performance.

    Loved this show...but really don't like the prerecorded tap dance sounds they use in today's musicals. It sounds phony and doesn't always match the dancers movements, which then distracts from the show. But that's just me.

      Other than The Producers, best tap dancing in a show HAS to be Something Rotten! The Producers and Something Rotten make up two of my top 3 favorite musicals of all time (the 3rd being SpongeBob).
