The Producers
Still so original, and delightfully - daringly - funny

Why see The Producers?
London Revival
Starting this winter at the Menier Chocolate Factory, Patrick Marber directs a revival of Mel Brook's hilarious history-making musical adaptation of his 1967 film! A twelve-time Tony-winner, The Producers is a riot of song, dance and scandalously funny silliness that follows the unscrupulous Broadway producer Max and his hapless accountant Leo as they attempt to mount the most notorious flop the stage has ever seen! Don't miss this all time classic on its return to London.
What is the story?
The show centres on the hopeless pair, Max Bialystock, a past-his-prime Broadway producer, and his accountant, Leo Bloom. In desperate need of some cash, they come up with a failsafe money-making scheme - they'll make the biggest flop the theater world has ever seen - and then keep all the investors' money and scram. Little do they know that the awful musical they choose, Springtime for Hitler, might just be so bad that it's good!
