From the zany comedic genius of Mel Brooks comes The Producers, the musical that redefined Broadway comedy. Join Max Bialystock, a washed-up Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, his neurotic accountant, as they cook up the most outrageous get-rich-quick scheme in showbiz history: stage the worst musical ever, pocket the investors’ cash, and run. What could possibly go wrong Everything hilariously.
Adapted from Brooks’ 1967 film, this laugh-a-minute romp features larger-than-life characters, wickedly funny double entendres, and splashy show-stopping musical numbers. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, The Producers proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender,” skewering Broadway traditions with enough chutzpah to fill Times Square.
