THE PRODUCERS Return of Lane & Broderick

For the 20th anniversary of the Broadway opening of the smash hit "The Producers" on April 19, 2001: Three years into the run, original stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick returned to the Broadway production for three months in winter 2004. These clips are from the end of their return run, and the stars appear to be having a little extra fun with the material. Lane likely thought he'd never play Max on stage again, but later in 2004 he was rushed in to open the London production when Richard Dreyfuss proved unable to do it.
