KEY POINTS:
David Hasselhoff will appear in the Las Vegas production of The Producers, portraying the outrageous gay director who wears a dress that makes him look like the Chrysler Building.
The director of the original movie, Mel Brooks, says Hasselhoff "has an incredible comedic timing, terrific musical theatre experience and a stage presence that I think will be a perfect marriage with the role. And he has great legs for that dress."
