How about one of those Kennedy Center concerts of THE PRODUCERS with James Monroe Iglehart as Max, Ethan Slater as Leo? And Bertie Carvel or Brooks Ashmanskas (or...Billy Eichner?) as Roger.

I don't really see that show getting revived on Bway in Nathan's lifetime –– unless Nathan himself wants to do it, as was rumored and debunked right after the pandemic.

As much as I love Iglehart I really cannot see him as Max at all. LOVE the idea of Daniel Breaker as Leo...still holding out hope John Mulaney and Nick Kroll can play Leo and Max though

I really don’t see him headlining a musical… don’t think he will sell that well…especially in this climate…I think a comedic play is much more likely

Whoever said Gutenberg the Musical hit the nail on the head.  Though for the life of me I have no clue why anyone would want to see that show.  But fine, I like Gad and glad he will be back.

Do you have a confirmed source for this -- or are you just guessing (like everyone else)?

When is this happening? I have to imagine the fall since Alex Timbers would obviously be directing

Has anyone heard anything about this? Wonder if he is still doing something

Maybe the Michael Mayer directed Galileo, premiering at Berkeley Rep next year will be a comedy, instead of a boring slog like the Bertolt Brecht version.
