LOL! Yes, I definitely saw the movie. In the theater, during it's original run, actually. That was where I first discovered Mel Brooks. I've been a fan ever since.
The play follows the film pretty closely, so we watched the DVD a day or two before seeing the play, so things would be fresh in our minds. It was great.
The Gene Wilder part is played incredibly well by the guy on Desperate Housewives who was Bree's crazy Pharmacist husband. He's fantastic, and has a long history as one of Mel Brooks' stable of actors.
Megan Mulally shows why she was so great on Will & Grace, but best of all, watch out for Andrea Martin as Frau Blueker. (Do I hear horses neighing?) She practically steals the show.
Get excited about going - the show is great fun. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
