A 65-member cast? Jesus...I don't think even the largest shows on Broadway have above, like, 30 people. Huge, 65-member casts aren't exactly fiscally sound these days.
And you're right. That news makes me want to gouge out my own eyes.
You're also right about the book for
The Producers, it is actually fairly good, but for my tastes, in looking at the show, especially a musical, marginal songwriting just kills it for me. I can, on some level, maybe forgive a bad book. But bad music? In a musical?
