THE PRODUCERS is really kicking our butt.
I don't remember the specifics but what I do remember is not pretty. As I recall, when THE PRODUCERS was in its first previews in New York, some scence chages were taking up to 25 minutes. We have been told tht the running time was somewhere north of 5 hours. That's how hard this show can be on a stage crew.
We are no where near the 5 hour mark on our show -- it should be around 2 and half hours instead. We have also cut design elements that obviously appeared on Broadway. We have cut other elements we planned to include but ran out of time to create for our show. We are working very hard to get things finished in time for the first performacne on thursday, but, as they say, the paint might still be wet.
