The ProducersThe Producers at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Catherine Street, London The Producers, the new Mel Brooks musical, is the story of of down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom. Together, they hatch the ultimate theatrical scam: to raise more money than they need to produce a sure-fire Broadway disaster.... and then to pocket the left-over cash when the show flops. Their guaranteed-to-fail fiasco? Springtime for Hitler - The Musical. There are few people who can reduce an audience to tears of helpless laughter more readily than Mel Brooks. Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The History of the World part 1, To Be or Not To Be, High Anxiety and Spaceballs, these and many other movies bear the unmistakable stamp of Brooks's unique, crazy and quirky snese of humour. Three years ago, he was finally persuaded to adapt The Producers, the Academy Award-winning film, for the Broadway musical stage. The result was beyond the dreams of Mel Brooks and multi award-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman. The Producers became the biggest ever hit in Broadway history, sweeping up a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards! Now 'the funniest musical you are ever likely to see' is in London - don't miss it! |
