Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane will be joined by their "The Producers" Original Broadway Cast members Roger Bart, Cady Huffman, and Brad Oscar, as well as director/choreographer Susan Stroman for a very special episode of "Stars In The House" on Saturday, April 17 at 8pm ET. The cast will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the show's Broadway premiere with an evening of backstage stories, reminiscing, and of course, plenty of music!
"The Producers was a phenomenon in its day, winning the most Tony awards in history, and it remains one of the highlights of my career in the theater," said Lane. "So I look forward to seeing everyone again at this historic twenty year reunion and I'm sure we haven't aged a bit."
