[russ]

saw this last night.

In a word:

Absolutely farkin brilliant. Haven't laughed so much since i saw the show in NY three years back.

Everyone Must Go. Lee Evans is brill.

I still have the old film on video - its superb - one of the funniest Mel Brooks films ever......

 

[russ]

It's much better than the film .....

zero mostel was a bit too seedy and the whole thing with the little old ladies was a bit repulsive. Max has much more charm in the stage version.

Plot improvements include Leo falling in love with Ulla, a much better ending Plus you get the full 20minutes of 'Springtime for Hitler'. The director has been chaned from that weird hippy to the campest of camp director/choreographer.

the movie goes into production in the new year with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. Eagerly Awaited.

Mel Brooks' stuff is great (well used to be, in the seventies).

Nathan Lane is great - loved him in The Birdcage....
