The Latest on Max and Leo

There's talk that the Broadway version of The Producers will close in June. Business is way down from what it once was, and the St. James Theater may be needed to house the forthcoming musical version of Young Frankenstein.

If so, I'm a little surprised that there haven't been more attempts to pump up the box office by bringing in big stars…or at least, bigger than Tony Danza…although two biggies are being mentioned. According to this article, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, who opened the show, may return to close it. I don't know if there's any truth to this but the columnist is right. Those tickets would go for a lot of money, emphasis on "a lot."
