The Producers (2005): Keep It Gay

The clip Keep it Gay from The Producers (2005) with Nathan Lane, Gary Beach

Oh, Roger, let's face it, that building is you.
Listen, I know we sent it to you only this morning...
...but did you read Springtime for Hitler?
Read it? I devoured it.
And I find it remarkable. Remarkable!
I feel it is a very important piece, drenched with historical goodies.
I, for one, for instance, never realized that the Third Reich...
...meant Germany.
Yeah, how about that. Then you'll do it?
Do it? Of course not. It's not my kind of thing. I mean, Max, please.
World War ll? Too dark, too depressing.
The theatre's so obsessed With dramas so depressed
It's hard to sell a ticket on Broadway
Shows should be more pretty Shows should be more witty
Shows should be more
What's the word?
Gay?
Exactly.
No matter what you do on the stage
Keep it light, keep it bright Keep it gay
Whether it's murder Mayhem or rage
Don't complain, it's a pain Keep it gay
People want laughter When they see a show
The last thing they're after is A litany of woe
A happy ending Will pep up your play
Oedipus won't bomb
If he winds up with Mom
Keep it gay
Keep it gay
Keep it gay
Keep it gay
Couldn't agree more.
And you have our blessings, Roger...
...to make Springtime for Hitler just as gay as anyone could possibly want.
So come on, do it for us. Please.
I'm sorry, Max. It's simply not my cup of tea.
Still, fair is fair.
I should ask my production team what they think.
Your production team, who are they?
You'll see. They all live here.
Guys! Come say hello to Bialystock and Bloom!
This is my set designer, Brian.
Hello.
Keep it mad, keep it glad Keep it gay
