Funny, I was just talking about Roger Bart with my oldest daughter Myrna, when I read this article about Roger returning to The Producers on Broadway.

My daughter is practising some songs from You're A Good Man Charlie Brown for an upcoming audition and we were thinking how great it would have been to have seen Roger Bart (Snoopy) and Kristin Chenoweth (Sally) in the 1999 revival of said show.

They both won Tonys for their performances...sigh.

Anyways, then I got to thinking about how Roger Bart was the one redeeming feature of the movie remake of The Stepford Wives, and how much I enjoyed him on his stint on Desperate Housewives. And how he was a highlight of The Frogs when I saw it at the Lincoln Center last summer.

Then don't you know I go and read in Playbill that he's coming back to The Producers on Broadway May 3 to July 3 reprising his role as Leo Bloom (next to Richard Kind whom I know from Mad About You and Spin City: Who knew he could sing?).

I've always regretted not seeing Roger as Carmen Ghi , his original The Producers role.(although he'll do that in the movie version!) This is my chance to set things right! I wanna see him as a producer!
