and NO show has won more: 12 -- including Best Musical.
For Mel Brooks -- it was a record shattering night he planned to
savor -- with a sandwich.

"With a little mustard, no mayonnaise, maybe some tomato...Lee: This is
how you're celebrating?"

Nathan Lane who plays Brook's flamboyant huckster to a tee -- won
for best actor -- dragging his co-star Matthew Broderick on stage to
share in the honors.

before last night's awards.
It raked in $3 million dollars on opening night alone -- by all
accounts, a gusher -- and a predictable winner.
(SOTMEL BROOKS, PRODUCER, "THE PRODUCERS" )
"Lee: With all the hype you really can't be all that surprised? (edit )
Well, I didn't know, no one could ever know all along that they could
have a sweep.That they would win 12 Tony's. I mean that's, I mean I'm
not humble but I'm not that arrogant, ya know."
(LEE COWAN ON CAM: )
"Its success dwarfed just about everything else on Broadway this year --
and that was hard to do. Even without "The Producers" -- Broadway saw
higher ticket revenues -- and higher attendance this year -- and there
was a lot to see."
(NARR:)
"Proof" -- a play that already won a Pulitzer -- also won for best
play - and its star, Mary Louise Parker won for best actress.
(NARR:)
"The Invention of Love" brought home two awards-- but even in
victory -- "The Producers" had become a tender joke among colleagues
fighting for attention.
(SOT/ROBERT SEAN LEONARD, ACTOR, THE INVENTION OF LOVE )
"I'm pretty sure Mel Brooks stole my award by the way because I had it
for about 37 seconds and them someone whisked it out of my hands."

Broadway had been broadsided by a hit about itself -- and Broadway
as a whole, couldn't be happier.
