The Producers

Trailers_on_116th_1Daylight_on_office_windowFor about 3 days, the area around my apartment was home to the movie set of the Producers the musical. It was cool just knowing Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane (who voiced Timone in Disney’s Lion King) were living in a trailer just around the corner. Not forgetting Roger Bart (Disney’s Hercules). In fact, I was on my way out one late morning when in the distance I thought I saw Nathan Lane walking up to me.

There wasn’t anyone else around. No fans, no make-up artists or hairstylists fussing over him. It was just him and another lady and I thought, that it couldn’t be Nathan. But as we walked closer to each other and I got to look into his tinted shades, the realisation struck me in the face. It was Nathan Lane!! I was hit so hard I was dumbstruck. So I just smiled. And watched him walk down the street. That was that. My brush with Nathan himself. =)

The Producers is Mel Brooks’ musical comedy currently on Broadway. It won a Tony for Best Musical in 2001.

    It is so exciting to see the Movie Musical on a big come back!

    The success of Chigago paved the way for studios to greenlight more.

    Here in NYC, while The Producers is being filmed uptown, we have Rent shooting downtown!

    Can’t wait to see them!

    It’s a great feeling when you spot someone you admire and they smile back :-)
