Footlighters Inc. has announced the cast of their 2012-2013 season opener, THE PRODUCERS.
It’s New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he’s visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler and as opening night draws near, what can go wrong?
The cast includes Jeff Richardson as Max, Robert Breslin as Leo, Jules Shumate as Ula, Joe Hornbaker as Roger, Steffen Whorton as Carmen Ghia and Eric Haas as Franz. The Ensemble includes Diane Line as Shirley, Bryan Franke as Mr. Marx, Kevin Rutkowski, Greg Good, RJ Caldwell, George Fee, Betsi Brockmeier, Marsha Roudabush, Meredith Mason, Megan Ansley Callahan, Mary Stone, JV Katz, Jillian Schwab, Natasha Boeckmann, Lindsey Morgan & Amanda Emmons.
THE PRODUCERS runs Sept. 20-Oct. 6 and is directed by Mary Haas with music direction by Alan Masters and choreography by Maggie Perrino.
