A Year with the Producers: One Actor's Exhausting (But Worth It) Journey from Cats to Mel Brooks' Mega-Hit (A theatre arts book) ReviewLast October I was fortunate enough to see "The Producers" on Broadway. First of all I must say it lives up to its hype. It's brash, bright, tuneful and FUNNY. Nathan Lane was out at that performance but Brad Oscar (the current Max) and Matthew Broderick were in fantastic form.
This all brings me to this wonderful book. Jeffry Denman, a member of the ensemble, received a call in August 2000 from his agent who scored an audition for him. At the time he was in "Cats" which was winding down its 18 year run in a few weeks. On September 10, 2000 he began this wonderful journal. It takes the reader to the closing of "Cats" and on to the auditions and callbacks for "The Producers".
Denman is an excellent writer and makes his year long odyssey a joy to read about. He tells of winning director Susan Stroman and Mel Brooks over, the first rehearsals, the small parts in the musical he is assigned. He is ten assigned to cover (understudy) Matthew Broderick. The book ends one year later after his performing the part of Leo Bloom for 4 performances when Broderick was out.
Anyone who has ever done theatre or who wants to know what goes on behind the scenes will find this book fascinating. Denman writes with complete candor and often times affection for his fellow actors and crew members. His parents also figure prominently in his affection.
The reader will find out how the show gets on its legs, what it is like to be out of town in Chicago prior to Broadway, recording the cast album and the grand opening night.
He also lets the reader into his own personal life and lets us know what it is like being an actor and the demands it places on him.
It reads quickly and it is very difficult to put down. Jeffry Denman said he would like to write another book. Lets hope so.A Year with the Producers: One Actor's Exhausting (But Worth It) Journey from Cats to Mel Brooks' Mega-Hit (A theatre arts book) Overview
