Max & Leo Shout Adios! One Last Look at The Producers

The Sunday matinee of The Producers on April 22 was its last on Broadway. After over 2,500 performances on the Great White Way, the Mel Brooks smash-a-roo, as announced, shuttered at the St. James Theatre, though not without solidifying a dazzling legacy as the musical that in 2001 finally edged out Hello, Dolly! as Broadway's top Tony winner (11) with an even dozen. (For the record, Dolly also ran at the St. James Theatre, clocking 2,844 performances.) We took a few pictures at the show's final curtain call as the cast took their bows and director/choreographer Susan Stroman, co-librettist Thomas Meehan and composer/lyricist/co-librettist and all-around inventor of The Producers spoke a few words of thanks—and a reminder that, just around the corner, they're making a new monster musical comedy for ya, Young Frankenstein!
