Tony Danza begins a stint playing the Zero Mostel/Nathan Lane-originated Max Bialystock in the Broadway production of The Producers (still billed as a New Musical) on 19 December. The fantastic Roger Bart returns to play Leo Bloom once again after moving up from Carmen Ghia, chili-bowl-cut commonlaw assistant extraordinaire. Danza is unexpected casting if I've ever heard it, though I think it could work. Others I'd like to see take a crack at a "different take" include John O'Hurley, Jonathan Pryce, Christopher Walken, and Kevin Spacey (yeah right, but I can see it).
