Show Notes
Mel Brooks' valentine to musical theatre THE PRODUCERS broke all kinds of Broadway records offstage in 2001, while onstage its zany characters wrote the book on how one should not behave in professional theatre. This week we sit down with longtime "Max Bialystock" Michael Kostroff and his writing partner Julie Garnyè to discuss comedy, goose step chorus lines, and their new book "The Stage Actors' Handbook" (ie- how one should behave in professional theatre). Together everyone laughs (a lot) and discusses whether this 12-time Tony-winning musical will stand the test of time. What do you think?
