The Producers description
About the Show
Max Bialystock is a Broadway producer in decline. His accountant, Leo Bloom, works out that a show which fails immediately could leave its producers better off than a hit would. Together they set about staging the worst musical they can commission, with the worst director they can hire, only for the audience to take Springtime for Hitler as a comedy and make it a success.
This is the first major London revival of the musical, which won twelve Tony Awards on Broadway in 2001, still a record for a single production. The staging began at the Menier Chocolate Factory before transferring to the Garrick Theatre, and is now in its final West End season.
Cast and Creatives
Music and lyrics are by Mel Brooks, who wrote the book with Thomas Meehan, adapting his own 1967 film. The original Broadway production was directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman. This revival is directed by Patrick Marber, writer of Closer and director of Leopoldstadt.
Andy Nyman plays Max Bialystock and Marc Antolin plays Leo Bloom, both continuing from the Menier run, with Trevor Ashley as Roger DeBris, Raj Ghatak as Carmen Ghia, Harry Morrison as Franz Liebkind and Joanna Woodward as Ulla.
Why You Should Watch It
The Producers is Mel Brooks at his most unrepentant, in its last West End season. Book tickets at the Garrick Theatre.
