Photo Coverage: BC/EFA's 'The Producers' Cabaret

On Sunday, April 15th at 9:30 PM, Joseph John Productions and the cast of Mel Brooks' Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Producers presented their cabaret benefit show: The Big Bang Blowout, to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.  The event took place at Helen's Hideaway Room (169 8th Ave. between 18th and 19th Streets).

The Producers currently stars John Treacy Egan as Max, Hunter Foster as Leo, Angie Schworer as Ulla, Lee Roy Reams as Roger DeBris, Brad Musgrove as Carmen Ghia and Bill Nolte as Franz Liebkind.

The benefit cabaret show featured performers from The Producers ensemble as well as back- and front-of-house staff, hosted by Egan. The money raised that evening goes towards the BC/EFA annual Easter Bonnet competition.  This was the last cabaret show produced by Joseph John Productions and The Producers, as the musical is set to close on April 22, 2007.
