	indielondon.co.uk - theatre - The Producers, Drury Lane Theatre, review (2004)
		This, I must admit, is principally due to Nathan Lane who brings a breath of Broadway chutzpah to the show and lifts it from the commonplace into the sublime.
		A plot which goes sadly awry when the show becomes a smash hit and the two are sent to jail where they attempt to produce a show with the other inmates which, in its turn, when they are released becomes a hit and sets them on the road to honest fame and fortune.
		One can only hope that Nathan Lane can be persuaded to remain on as, (no disrespect to Lee Evans), it is hard to see whether without him the show would have the same zest and sparkle it has today.
