Episode 149 - I Wanna Be a Producer
We enter the 21st century with The Producers, one of the biggest things ever to hit The Great White Way. A combination of Mel Brooks' genius, classical musical comedy trops, and the star power of Broadway vets Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the show feels like a throwback to an earlier time -- and it was just what audiences wanted in 2001. But is it what audiences want in 2026? Join us as we talk about the show, "I Wanna Be a Producer," and 9/11. N.B. This episode does contain discussions of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and sexual harrassment. Listener discretion is advised.
