All the time we've been in lockdown, Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley have been doing episodes of Stars in the House, an online talk/variety show about Broadway which occasionally detours into television. I defy you to look over the list of episodes they've done and not find several you want to watch…but tonight's was a must-see.
Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the musical of The Producers, they gathered together director Susan Stroman and members of the original cast — Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Cady Huffman and Brad Oscar. If you love this show anywhere near as much as I did, you'll want to watch this.
The webcast begins, as many episodes of Stars in the House do, with a brief interview with Dr. Jon LaPook, the CBS Medical Correspondent who gives very good, lucid reports on The Pandemic. Stars in the House is worth watching just for his briefings. He starts at 6:45 in. The discussion of The Producers starts at 13:30 and a surprise guest star joins the show at the midpoint, shortly after the 39-minute mark.
This is all a benefit for The Actors Fund, which is probably misnamed because it helps everyone in show biz — not just actors — with rent, insurance, groceries, etc. when they need it. If you enjoy this video, donate here…
