On stage, at least. Mr. Danza is becoming Max Bialystock, the crazy-as-a-fox theater producer in the Broadway production of “The Producers.” And he’s co-starring with Roger Bart.
Danza, best known for his roles on the TV sitcoms ''Who's the Boss?'' and ''Taxi,'' will star in the Broadway production of ''The Producers'' beginning Dec. 19.
He will be joined by Bart, who will play mild-mannered Leo Bloom in the Tony-winning Mel Brooks musical at the St. James Theatre. Danza will be in the show through March 11, while Bart's engagement will end a month earlier -- on Feb. 11.
Bart created the role of Carmen Ghia in the original company of ''The Producers,'' which opened on Broadway in April 2001.
Which basically means that Bart’s life and The Producers have been intertwined for six years!

Ah, Roger Bart is not actually gay, even though he has played several gay roles. He's just that good.
EDITOR'S NOTE: You are so very right! And we are so very wrong. But this just means we love Roger Bart even more. What a talented actor!
