Mel Brooks' The Producers in Vancouver at the Centre

Feb 27, 2007

By Catherine Barr

 

Gays, grannies and greed may seem like an odd mix, but for the hit Broadway Across Canada show "The Producers - the New Mel Broks Musical" it was a winning combination. Last week, at The Centre in Vancouver, audiences cheered for showgirls and swastikas in the hilarious stage show that poked fun at everyone. On Feb 27, invited guests and VIPs mingled at the opening night cast party held at Beyond Restaurant and Lounge (owned by West Van's Wendy and Sergio Cocchia) where the stars received praise and applause from all.
