- Here is a rare treat for my fellow Broadway fans. This is the KEEP IT GAY number from the Broadway Smash Hit THE PRODUCERS that was filmed in 2001 in Chicago before the show came to Broadway in New York City! For those who missed the oppurtunity to see the Original Cast On Broadway, here you go. Enjoy this rare clip. : )
![ฮักเทื่อสุดท้าย - บอย ศิริชัย [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-1PoPoQ-B-k/mqdefault.jpg)
At the end of the recent online reunion of the cast members of "The Producers," Matthew Broderick mentioned that despite the cast's reluctance to be filmed while performing (not to mention the copyright violations involved), they had to admit that they were very grateful to be able to see the show from the audience's point of view.
"they're losing the war EXCUSE MEEEEE!" This quote cracks me up XD
PERFECT delivery. ❤️😂
I love hearing everybody laughing. It makes me smile
Agreed
Same here
I would have done anything to have seen the original cast perform this.
You do basically get everyone from this scene in the movie version they made for this. The only two big casting changes from stage to screen where the Will Ferrell and Uma Thurman roles; everyone else in the film is who you saw on Broadway.
Nick the Dreamer yes but they cut 2 songs King of broadway which is a deleted scenes and where did we go right
@@mr.brooks8913 they also shortened spring time for hitler. Mostly the dancing
dane w and Old barnvia and first part of the producers
@@nickthedreamer4434 For some of them, anyway. A lot of people who were in the Broadway cast and the touring companies were in it. But they didn't all play their respective roles. (i.e. Kathy Fitgerald did get to play Shirley, and Jim Borstelmann played Scott and Donald.)
I just noticed that the doorbell is to the tune of "I feel pretty" from West Side.
BAHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT
OMG 😂😂😂
Me: “I shall have to think about it!”
*1 second later*
Also me: “I’LL DO IT!”
Best part of the song
R.I.P Gary Beach You Earned that Tony for Featured Actor
Oh God...I couldn't agree more. My first ever Broadway production. It was faultless and Gary Beach as Roger will stay with me forever. So saddened to hear he has passed away.
@@edward311 I beg to differ. There won't be such a thing as passed away. I believe there'll be such a thing as passed back. That means brought back from the dead, alive and well. Gary Beach will come back soon, just you wait and see.
Oh Roger... we will miss you! :(
Zack Stark
He passed away?
I'm stunned to hear this. He was such an incredible talent...Gary as Roger De Bris was a true showstopper! 😢
The inimitable Gary Beach will be with us forever. Remembered every time this marvellous production is staged.
I didn’t realize how many people from the original show were in the movie. What a fantastic cast. Such an amazing show!
The little giggle Roger Bart gives when he says 'mounting' is just delightful!
Gary Beach was such a talent, he’ll be sorely missed :(
Nathan Lane - Timon
Matthew Broderick - Simba
Gary Beach - Lumiere (Broadway)
Roger Bart - Hercules (singing voice )
Holy Disney collab, Batman!!
Speaking of The Lion King, there's a deleted scene on the film DVD of Max and Leo in a bar while the show is in progress. Ernie Sabella (Pumba) plays a drunk, and you have the Trifecta appearing together.
Hakuna Mitata, my friends.
@@bungalowlogic7676 it's Hakuna Matata.
Gary Beach & Roger Bart are incredible together.
Probably filmed illegally but what the hell - this is a piece of genuine show biz history. Great !
The only way to capture the live feeling is the illegal way.
I lamented for years that I'd never see this again. It was legitimately the funniest show or movie I've ever seen. So glad I was able to be reminded of scenes I'd forgotten!!!
Thanks for all the laughs Gary. You were the only man in the world who could do justice to this show. I'll miss you.
Slight differences from the eventual Broadway hit but absolutely wonderful...lucky people to have that chance to have witnessed a legendary musical at the very beginning. Beach and Bart were the best professional Roger and Carmen, just wonderful! To paraphrase them... "showstopper, fabulous"!
RIP Gary Beach (1947-2018)
1:31 That's god tier delivery of the word 'swastikas', right there.
14 broken down old queens were hung up on by Carmen Ghia.
Rest In Peace, Gary Beach, you wonderfully talented man
“Roger Elizabeth Debris” is the funniest part about this entire thing. And what a way to end it 😂
How can somebody NOT like Mel Brooks?
Kevin Ganey I mean, maybe a couple of really sensitive Jews
Lets face it
No one makes fum of hitler like mel Brooks
Brilliant
@@notrangeruch4497 Irony is that Mel is Jewish himself. So it's really silly for them to be offended by his work.
And he fought in WWll
People who are easily offended
I love being able to hear the audience laughing along :)
Lane & Broderick are such a team... wish I could see a copy of "It's Only a Play"
Timothy Cicirella it’s only a play was great to see,but I missed the producers! That looked so funny!
This is without a doubt the hardest gut Laugh I have ever experienced during a broadway show. Hilarious.
This musical gets an entire room dedicated to it at the Museum of Broadway. That’s how groundbreaking it is.
I would love to see a sitcom with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick playing their characters from the producers. Each season would have an overarching story about the play their producing (this time, intentionally trying to make a good one) and the hilarious things that happen to them. I would watch it.
Omg I love this idea! One entire season of Curb Your Enthusiasm centered around the main character, Larry David, working to learn to be the Nathan Lane character in this show. It was wonderful!
There may have been more outright laughs and ovations in this show than any other piece of entertainment...joyful.
Best scene ever!! I'm playing Shirley for my theatre company and it's impossible to keep a straight face with all the boys gaying it up.
Imo one of THE funniest plays!, the songs are fantastic!. Love carmen Ghia !
My high school did this musical last spring and it was amazing!! This is one of my favoite scenes!!!
And to think that Roger was also Lumiere from the Beauty and the Beast broadway. HA!
Teyeson Bee Carmen Gaia was Victor Frankenstein from Young Frankenstein and he was the singing voice for Hercules from the Disney movie Hercules
Arenita R. Don’t forget Snoopy In You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown!!
This the most enjoyable number I have probably ever seen
you wicked witch of the wessssst
After years of seeing shows in Chicago, I still rate seeing The Producers (before it opened on Broadway, no less!) as the most enjoyable time of all. I laughed so hard at this show that my sides ached as I left the theatre. Thank you so much for posting these clips. And this post only serves to highlight how disappointing the movie version was.
I once met and talked to Jay Binder (big Broadway casting agent, look him up) and he says the original cast of The Producers was the greatest and funniest show he'd ever seen on Broadway. He said you could easily add 30 minutes to the run time just to make up for the amount of pauses in the show to account for the audiences hysteric laughter and cheering. Nothing like it since and no other cast could quite match the magic and chemistry of this original cast.
What's your problem with the movie? I absolutely love that film!
@@TheNotoriousDUDE The timing feels empty and/or slightly awkward because there is no audience to feed off of.
Perfection. Just perfect.
Rest in peace, Gary.
I'm so freaking sad. What a legend.
Thank you SO much for posting this! I saw the try-out in Chicago as well (a Sunday matinee) and I remember the audience giving them a much deserved ovation at the end. To have seen it before it became the long-running phenom it became just months later was such a gift.
I was so lucky to see it on Broadway with this original cast. I almost pissed in my pants during this scene.
Brilliant!
Rest well, Gary Beach.
Thanks for posting this! I wish I had been able to see this cast on Broadway. They were incredible!
Absolutely fabulous!
Best play I have ever seen on Broadway!
I love this production, makes me laugh each time. Shame theres not more excepts from broadway production
Just watched the Brazilian version of The Producers and found it incredibly fun. Now in these clips here on YT I see the original material justifies me almost losing my sides today at the theatre. Great show, I hope I get the chance of watching it on Broadway someday.
brilliant. so sad gary beach died. i didn't know. what a loss
still good after watching this must be 30 times ^^
7:44 This line made me choke on my tea and nearly fall over laughing. I need to see the rest of this show immediately!
The movie is great, but there is nothing like live theatre!!!! Roger Bart is just hilarious.
Just played Roger this weekend .... Amazing.
RIP Gary Beach.
YOU...ARE....MY....HERO!! Thank you thank you for this!
I'm amazed how accurate the movie is.
I absolutely adore this song, and the entire musical as well. Thanks for uploading it!
I know you were not supposed to film this but thank you!!!! I love this scene!!!
The bulge on Scott in the Keep it Gay number obviously evolved to the actual Broadway show... that got hysterical laughs whenever performed!
Gary Beach was incredible.
An outstanding historical masterpiece ! Merci beaucoup from Paris France. Emmanuel
10:52 Just noticed the look that Sabu gave Bloom after watching him shake his hips bahaha
They were right to keep as much of the original Broadway cast for the film as they could.
The original with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder aired on TV around 1967. My uncles and father had all fought in the war, and emotions were still rather raw about Germany and Japan. But twenty years after the end of the war my father, who loved Mel Brooks' comedy, was enjoying the show.
Sooooooooo grateful for this video!!!! Just a joy to watch!
OMG ROGER AND GARY ARE SOOO HILARIOUS!!!
Damn 2001 I'm probably still months old, what a long time ago, I hope these funny wholesome fellas are doing well
Got to see them on Broadway - entire cast was outstanding!
This video bears witness to the brilliance of a theatrical legend. A historic video.
LOL! Random flower duet at 8:24 XDDD
Amo essa historia e esses atores e os personagens. Mathew... nathan... gary... roger. Max leo roger e camen . Amo todos 😁😁😁😁
Thank you Mr Brooks. Pure genius.
Gary Beach was a God-given gift to us as Roger De Bris… no one else, not even the original Christopher Hewitt, could have done the role more perfectly.
I wish and pray for his eternal happiness.
OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading this! :D
Everyone in this play is great
My boy Kevin out here doing death drops before it was cool
Brilliant. “It don’t get no better than THIS.”
Brilliant my favourite musical..such talent
I was there in Chicago. The whole theater was buzzing with loving anticipation in the lobby. It was like buttah!😂
I wish I could of seen this live
I’d give my life savings to see this live.
LOL...like some many of my 'sisters' from the DAY, old school and keeping the Streets of NYC>Philly as GAY as possible..From Fashion Week to Fire Island and every Flamboyant snappy comment in between.....LOVE IT AND MISS IT!!
May I take your hats coats and your swastikas? Walk this way please...
As a flight attendant I was hoping to see them on a layover…no chance…always sold out when I was there.
11:09 The look on the faces of Max and Leo is one of the funniest moments in the show (and that's saying A LOT)
Yes and Simba too.
I've gotta say the original rhyme "It needs glamour and glitz, it needs sequins, and tits" is much better sounding for the song than "it needs sequins, it needs glamour, it needs jewels, it needs tools."
Actually, this is the pre-Broadway run so this is the original rhyme. Mel Brooks probably thought of better lyrics during this run and changed it to what you know now.
I would’ve paid top dollar if I could see Nathan Lane and Gene Wilder do a remake
Funny when you think that your watching Simba, Timon, (singing voice) Hercules and Broadway Lumiere.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!
Don't know how anybody on stage could keep a straight face. Gary Beach is a amazing actor.
Professionals with amazing talents!!!
OMG thank you for posting thank you thank you thank you!!!
YAS!! This is perfection!! 😂😂
Thanks for uploading!! :)
OMG!! I was there! Sitting in front of the Mayor. We were hoarse from laughing.
Thank you for uploading this treasure
Oh, Roger Bart. :)
I worked at the Alvin when Gary was Rooster Hannigan & with Cady Huffman, who played the secretary, as well as William Ivey Long who did the costumes for Nine. What great folks.
Love this show so so much and this cast is spectacular. Thanks so much for sharing! Do you by any chance have the rest of the show that you could possibly upload?
I got to see them in London. The first of the 2 shows I was lucky enough to see there.
This was funny I like them together, they should do another movie together if not a musical
Thank you so much! Xxxx
Yes.
Roger Bart. Funny.
