BWW Reviews: THE PRODUCERS at Village Theatre
by Jay Irwin - May 11, 2012

It’s difficult when you have an iconic show to work with such as “The Producers” currently playing at Village Theatre. The Mel Brooks classic movie turned Mel Brooks mega hit stage musical turned Mel Brooks movie musical is definitely a big piece of musical theater history. Add in huge stars like Gene Wilder, Zero Mostel, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane to that history and the result of subsequent productions can vary from bland imitation to just plain not in the same league to the other end of the spectrum with spot on awesome, but you’ll always kind of compare with the original. Well, luckily the Village production is on that latter end of the spectrum. With their couldn’t-be-better-if-they-tried cast they manage an amazing show and even a few departures along the way that only made it stronger. (more...)

BWW Reviews: Hillbarn's THE PRODUCERS Features Nonstop Laughter and All-Star Cast
by Harmony Wheeler - May 08, 2012

Perhaps the reason the film version of the musical The Producers did not do so well as its Tony-award winning Broadway counterpart because it lacked that special magic that only live theatre can give. Movie musicals like Hairspray have succeeded on the big screen, but the current trend seems to involve actual live performances streamed in movie theaters across the nation. And itÂ’s no wonder that people prefer the one-night-only streamed performances to Hollywoodized versions. While such broadcasts will never live up to the real thing, they contain a piece of the real thing that thrills our souls. (more...)
