‘The Producers’
by Mel Brooks<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n		Leopold Bloom<\/td>\n2004-05<\/td>\nGordon\/Frost Organisation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The wonderful role of Leo was a very challenging one for me. It required not only singing, dancing and acting,
but also performing the comedy of the great Mel Brooks. Just before the opening night in Melbourne he
came to one of the preview shows and immediately afterwards was presented to the cast backstage.
While we all applauded him and he us, he walked straight up to me and kissed me on the cheek! Later
he said to me: “Just keep doin’ what you’re doin’, kid. It’s great! Just great!” This from the creator himself
did much for my confidence in the role.\u00a0The show ran for more than 500 performances in Melbourne,
Brisbane and Sydney.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
