Danza to take ‘Producers’ to Vegas Tony Danza will reprise his lead role as Max Bialystock in the Las Vegas version of Mel Brooks’ hit Broadway show “The Producers,” he told The Associated Press on Monday. “I love the part,” said Danza, 56, a former star of TV’s “Taxi” and “Who’s the Boss.” He is set to take over Aug. 13 as the down-on-his-luck theatrical producer who hatches a wildly successful play despite his best attempts to fail. Mel Brooks, who wrote the play based on his 1968 movie about a pair of con artists who overfinance a Broadway musical in the hopes of producing a flop and making off with the investors’ money, called Danza perfect for the show. “I think for Vegas, you need a show that has a lot of laughs and a lot of legs,” said Brooks, 80. “Tony brings the laughs, a certain charm, and an inescapable charisma. He’s irresistible. Everybody likes Tony Danza.” — The Associated Press
