Breaking news from Pittsburgh: The "f" word is back in The Producers. A nation exhales.
To further my endorsement of the aforementioned production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, I've bought tickets to see it again before it closes. And I should have said more about the terrific supporting cast. There's a fellow named Scott Dreier playing Hero and somehow managing to be very funny but still sympathetic in one of the tougher roles. A few years back, I saw Dreier playing Seymour in the same company's production of Little Shop of Horrors and he absolutely nailed the role. And playing the ingenue is a lady named Misty Cotton who got laughs I've never seen anyone else get in that role. Anyway, as you can tell, I really liked this show.
