March 8, 2007: "Things Are Lining Up for Ol' Liz Lemon" | 30 Rock | 3/9/2007

Star-studded Encore Won't Save Broadway's Producers | Today's News: Our Take | 2/23/2007
Despite weeks of talk that Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick might reprise the roles they originated in The Producers, so that the musical might eke out an extra few (and likely $old-out) weeks on the Great White Way, the plug instead will be pulled after the Apr. 22 performance — three days after the show's sixth anniverary, the New York Daily News reports.
