Oscar & Bart Return to THE PRODUCERS at Stalight, 8/23 - 8/29

Original PRODUCERS cast members Brad Oscar and Roger Bart will be returning to the production they helped make famous when they assume the roles of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, respectively, at the Kansas City Starlight Theatre on August 23, 2010.  The production will run through August 29, 2010.  Audiences will remember Oscar as the Tony-nominated neo-Nazi Franz Liebkind and Bart at the assistant Carmen Ghia on Broadway.

Mark Madama directs the production, which features choreography by Paula Hammons Sloan and musical direction by Anthony Edwards.

The Stalight production will also feature Bethany Moore (Ulla), Vince Leseny (Franz Liebkind), Kilty Reidy (Roger De Bris) and Dan O'Connor (Carmen Ghia). Jennifer Lee Crowl, Shauna Hoskin, Naomi Kakuk, and Lara Seibert round out the cast.

Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS debuted on Broadway in 2001, racking up a record-breaking 12 Tony® Awards including Best Musical. THE PRODUCERS follows the adventures and misadventures of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, who set out to produce a full-fledged flop - and fleece their investors in the process - but unwittingly wind up with a hit on their hands. These two schemers sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam there ever was.
