Nathan Lane has indicated he would probably leave after the one year is up, but would consider returning to the show at a future point.
I was lucky enough to snag a single ticket for July so I should see the two originals.

Thanks for the link! I checked it out, though, and the program for The Producers isn't available there (yet?). If I'm not able to get the program from someone here, I will keep my eye on this site.

If what you're looking for is just the free Playbill that they hand out at performances in New York, I have an extra that you are welcome to. Let me know if you want it and I'll mail it out tomorrow.
I thought the show was hilarious. We were told that tickets were being scalped for $300 and more in mid-May while we were there. We bought our $90 tickets before the show opened and could see very well from the front of the balcony. To Mr. Westcoaster's dismay, I'm still singing some of the songs.

I will be traveling to NY several times over the next 4 months and would like to find tickets to "The Producers". I'm willing to pay a premium but don't won't to be scalped. Would also trade MR's. Any ideas?</font>

Just want to say that this is one of the kinds of thread that makes FT such a great place: sharing info and helping each other out (maybe I should write a Broadway musical ...)
I have tickets for late September so I'm crossing my fingers for Matthew Broderick!

If I'm not mistaken, I was able to get a Playbill in Chicago, but no show program. I will double-check when I go home this weekend. If I need the Playbill, I will definitely take you up on your offer, westcoaster, thanks!
blairvanhorn: I hope you get to see Matthew Broderick too but I actually think it'd be interesting to see Martin Short play the Leo Bloom role. I think the reason Nathan Lane got the Tony over Broderick is that (at least when I saw the show) Broderick tried a little too hard to be just like Gene Wilder. Now, Martin Short would probably have a brilliant scene with the blue blanket.
(I figure it's not obvious to anyone what a huge fan I am of the movie, is it?
)

Checking availability with telecharge, using the 'best available' link on 'any performance from (today) onwards', there seems to be availability in November 2001 at $30, $35, $40 and $45 (plus charges).
OK, they're balcony seats, but nowhere near the $100 mentioned elsewhere.
Of course, if you wany orchestra or mezzanine (at $100), you'll be lucky to get seats before March 2002 - and my wife's birthday in April is already full, with or without Lane and Broderick.

Martin Short will not be playing Bloom on Broadway -- maybe in the LA company. Roger Bart will be replacing Broderick during his absence. Bart is currently playing "Carmen Ghia" in the show, and was nominated for a supporting actor tony in that role. Check it out at Broadway.com/news
