Broadway veterans Sarah Cornell, Larry Raben, Lee Roy Reams, and Lewis J. Stadlen will star in Lyric Theatre's production of the Mel Brooks musical, The Producers, to be presented at the Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City, August 4-8. Bill Burns will recreate Susan Stroman's original direction and choreography, with music direction by Phil Reno.

Based on Brooks' 1968 film of the same name, the show follows two theater producers whose get rich quick scheme goes awry. Stadlen (Max Bialystock), Raben (Leo Bloom), Reams (Roger DeBris), and Cornell (Ulla) all previously played their roles in the Broadway production of The Producers. The cast will also include Matthew Alvin Brown (Carmen Ghia), Vince Leseney (Franz Liebkind), and Jennifer Smith (Hold-Me Touch-Me).
