    In this episode of Sing It, Sister! Clare and Ellen discuss the many versions of The Producers, with an emphasis on the 2005 film! From the page to the screen, to the stage, to the screen again, it's all covered. Also included, deep discussions about humor and about Jason Alexander. Not included but did take up a chunk of our recording time...what is the correct possessive plural of Brooks???????
