THE PRODUCERS requires a lot of scenery. I guess you could do it on a small scale . . . but that's not our style. I made a decision early on that we would try to do justice to the show to give it even more "pizazz!" The jury is still out on the pizazz but there definitely a lot of half-finished pieces littering our stage right now.
There are two versions of Max's office (one to be white and one not). Over there is Roger's very tall NY townhouse. There are two rows of oversized file cabinets. Two soon-to-be painted safes and two more standing cabinets. The front door of the Shubert Theatre is leaning agains one stage wall while the wall of Shubert Alley is getting put ona long, skinny wagon. The pieces of max's jail cell sit on the floor of the orchestra pit waiting patiently for assembly. A mostly finished pigeon coop sits nearby. Plans for the roof entrance were recently scrapped.
We haven't even started on the scenery for "Little Old Lady" Land or the "Springtime for Hitler" production number. We also have to build all the hanging marque signs and whatever Leo sees in his dream sequence in "I Want to be a Producer."
Will all this fit into the wings? We don't know for sure but I, for one, am anxius to find out.

Oh, MAZ... I kind of wish I could be there to watch this fun spectacle. I would definitely not want to be SM, though... I think my head would explode
