Brian the Set Designer
Max Bialystock (Nathan Lane) é um produtor teatral astuto, que tem Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick) como contador. Um dia Leo surge com o plano perfeito para conseguir muito dinheiro: arrecadar muito mais do que o necessário para produzir um show para a Broadway, que seja de antemão um fracasso garantido. A ideia é que, por ser um fracasso, nenhum investidor espera receber algo, o que permitiria que Max e Leo embolsassem a diferença. A dupla segue o plano, iniciando a busca pela pior peça teatral já escrita. A escolhida é o musical "Primavera para Hitler", escrito por Franz Liebkind (Will Ferrell). Logo que começam a produção, contratam Ulla Inga Hansen-Bensen-Yanson-Tallen-Hallen-Svaden-Swanson (Uma Thurman) como secretária que terá um papel no espetáculo. Mas, para a surpresa de Max e Leo, a peça se torna um estrondoso sucesso. Baseado na mesma história já filmada, Primavera Para Hitler (1967).

Fred Graham / Petruchio
Cole Porter's beloved classic receives "Another Op'nin, Another Show", in this masterful 1999 London revival of the Tony Award winning musical Kiss Me, Kate! When the egotistical Fred Graham mounts a musical adaptation of The Taming of The Shrew (with himself as director, producer, and star) he’s got the perfect leading lady in mind: his movie star ex-wife! The fireworks both onstage and off between the two seem destined to explode the entire production…or will a romantic flame that’s Too Darn Hot be rekindled? With backstage shenanigans, gangsters brushing up their Shakespeare, and a collection of Porter tunes that any Tom, Dick, or Harry will love, Kiss Me, Kate remains an all-time favorite of musical fans from Padua to Peoria.
The classic musical by Bernstein, Comden and Green is performed live in concert in Berlin, starring Audra McDonald, Thomas Hampson, Brent Barrett and Kim Criswell, and conducted by Simon Rattle.
