Good Old Reliable Nathan

Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick will only be in The Producers for another week or so, and there have been no reports of professional videotaping of the show with them in it.  One assumes either or both will return whenever the grosses start to drop.  Still, it's a shame that this first incarnation is not being recorded for posterity.

It is well-publicized that Mr. Lane has not been playing matinees, so folks who showed up for yesterday's afternoon performance expected to see his splendid (from all reports) replacement, Brad Oscar.  Much to their surprise, Nathan was up there playing Bialystock — apparently because Mr. and Mrs. George Bush, Sr. were in attendance.  Here's a link to a newsgroup message by someone who was there that day.
