The Producers

In this episode of Sing It, Sister! Clare and Ellen discuss the
many versions of The Producers, with an emphasis on the 2005
film! From the page to the screen, to the stage, to the screen
again, it's all covered. Also included, deep discussions about
humor and about Jason Alexander. Not included but did take up a
chunk of our recording time...what is the correct possessive
plural of Brooks???????
