What is The Producers about?

Based on the classic cult film, the original Broadway production won a record twelve Tony Awards, and skewers Broadway traditions, taking no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"

Convinced that you can make more money from a flop than a hit, Max Bialystock, a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, a timid accountant with dreams of grandeur hatch a scheme to produce the worst show ever conceived. After scouring the Big Apple for some seriously rotten ideas, Springtime for Hitler is born.

However, when their sure-fire disaster turns into an unexpected hit, chaos ensues. Featuring outrageous gags, dazzling musical numbers and unforgettable characters (with inconceivably long names), The Producers is a laugh-out-loud spectacle celebrating the glorious absurdity of show business.

The Producers from screen to stage

Before becoming one of Broadway's most celebrated musicals, The Producers was a 1967 comedy film written and directed by legendary entertainer Mel Brooks. The film won Brooks an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and quickly became a cult classic thanks to its fearless satire and irreverent humour.

Brooks has since become one of the few entertainers to achieve EGOT status, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award during his remarkable career. Best known for classics including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Mel Brooks is widely regarded as one of the greatest comedy writers and filmmakers of all time. His stage adaptation of The Producers remains one of Broadway's biggest success stories and continues to delight audiences around the world.
