Below, BroadwayWorld brings you Part 2 of extensive photo coverage of the all-star cast onstage. Scroll below for Act 2 and the curtain call with Mel Brooks, and click HERE for photos from Act 1!
Susan Stroman, winner of the Tony Award for both direction and choreography for the original Broadway stage musical of The Producers, directs and choreographs the fully staged production of THE PRODUCERS at the Hollywood Bowl. The conductor at the Bowl is Kevin Stites.
From the brilliantly comedic mind of Mel Brooks comes this insanely funny adventure-a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant concoct a get-rich scheme to bilk their investors out of millions by producing the most notorious flop in history. Based on Brooks' Oscar-winning 1968 film, The Producers, with score and lyrics by Mel Brooks and a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, became a Broadway smash hit, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards.
The Producers received the most awards in Broadway history, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical (Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan), Best Original Score (Mel Brooks), Best Scenic Design (Robin Wagner), Best Costume Design (William Ivey Long), Best Lighting Design (Peter Kaczorowski), Best Orchestrations (Doug Besterman), Best Choreography and Best Direction of a Musical (Susan Stroman).
The Producers also received the 2001 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical, the 2001 Drama League Award for Best Musical, an Astaire Award for Ms. Stroman's choreography, and two 2002 Grammy Awards for Best Musical Show Album and Best Long Form Music Video.
One of the largest natural amphitheaters in the world, with a seating capacity of nearly 18,000, the Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922, and is home to the best and brightest in all genres of music. The venue offers something for everyone, from its sizzling summer evening concerts to the daytime summer arts festival for children, "SummerSounds: Music for Kids at the Hollywood Bowl," now in its 43rd season.
