The Producers

Oops! Forgot to write about our first show of the season at the North Shore Music Theatre...The Producers, which we saw 2 weekends ago.

We love the NSMT...this is our second year with season's tickets. They put on such a great show and with theatre-in-the-round there isn't a bad seat in the house. Also, we are thrilled not to have to drive into Boston for the shows!

Our review of this show: probably 3 out of 5 stars. Even if you've seen the movie, you know that this show is LONG. And it was a little too long for our liking. But the company did a good job...in particular, the costumes were phenomenal. You might recall that in the production of Springtime for Hitler there are chorus girls...one with a giant pretzel on her head, one with a giant kielbasa, and two others (who were evidently less memorable, since I can't recall what they had on their heads!). Anyway, the pretzel and kielbasa were hilarious. Probably the part of the show that we enjoyed the most...which I'm guessing is less a reflection on the show than on Dave and me!
