Curtain Call: Springtime For Hasselhoff and Las Vegas

David Hasselhoff, the star personality beloved of Germans and of red swim trunk aficionados, is featured in the Las Vegas production of the musical hit The Producers. Though unlike fellow television alum Tony Danza (currently in the Broadway production), the Hoff won't be playing no goodnik Max Bialystock, nay, he's wearing the light loafers of Roger DeBris.

The show has been trimmed down to a mere 90 minutes in order for anxious gamblers and drunken brides to fit the production in between bouts of binge drinking, poker and whoring. Other musicals playing Vegas, including Avenue Q and Hairspray, haven't been a draw for tourists, but never underestimate the power of 'The Hoff'.
