Photo Flash: First Look at Sean Patterson, Gary Rucker and More in THE PRODUCERS at Rivertown Theaters
New Orleans' favorite funniest man, Ricky Graham, directs a dynamic duo and two of the most respected actors in the city, Sean Paterson and Gary Rucker, starring in the title roles of the zany, irreverent musical and season opener, THE PRODUCERS, at Rivertown Theaters running tomorrow, September 11, through September 27, 2015. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Based on the Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, THE PRODUCERS is the story of down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a mousy accountant. Together, they hatch the ultimate scam: Raise more money than you need for a sure-fire Broadway fiasco...and pocket the difference. With the help of showgirls, dancing grandmas, and a cast of hilarious stereotypes, their plan goes mistakenly "right".
THE PRODUCERS has become a Broadway phenomenon, turning the tradition of a Broadway musical on its head and earning more Tony Awards than any other show in the history of the Great White Way. With tunes and a book by superstar comedian Mel Brooks and co-book writer Thomas Meehan (Hairspray), this big-time musical is truly one of the funniest shows around. Because of the adult language, the show is recommended for ages 15 & up.
Also in the cast are Caroline Cuseo (Ulla), Kevin Murphy (Roger DeBris), Alan Payne (Franz), and Dwayne Sepcich (Carmen Ghia).
On the production team are choreographers Kelly Fouchi & Caroline Cuseo, musical director Alan Payne, set designer Marty Aitkens, and costume designers Linda Fried & Michelle Hathaway.
Ticket prices: $40.00 Adults; $38.00 Seniors 65+; $36.00 Students/Active Military. Corporate and Individual sponsorships, season tickets, group and military discounts are available as well. To purchase, call the Box Office: (504) 461-9475 or (504) 468-7221 or visit www.RivertownTheaters.com. Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts is located at 325 Minor St. in the heart of Kenner's historic Rivertown district. Plenty of free parking is available on the streets around the theater.
