Now I must see the movie, to see if it can match the quality of this stage show. The cast bubbles with dance and singing talent. Each production number is delivered with zip and punch, with every ensemble member giving a top notch performance. There is no let up as the singing, dances, sight gags, and Mel Brooks humor keep coming at you with outstanding costumes on imaginative sets. Gary de Mattei as Max Bialystock, Tim Reynolds as Leo Bloom, and Brittany Ogle as the beautiful Ulla give outstanding performances in these lead roles. Supporting roles are delivered with the same pizzazz. Ray Joseph as Roger DeBris, "the world's worst director," and Sean Patrick Murtagh as his gay assistant Carmen Ghia are a perfect pair. Murtagh brings roars of laughter with his gestures and slinky body movements, and more laughter when he speaks. Joseph's Roger DeBris builds on the gay theme and brings the house down when he "fills in" as the singing-dancing star of Springtime for Hitler. Don’t miss it. Collapse
