When washed-up Broadway producer Max Bialystock teams up with anxious accountant Leo Bloom, the plan is simple: stage the worst musical ever written, pocket the investors’ cash, and close on opening night. But when their show—Springtime for Hitler—turns out to be a surprise smash, chaos, lawsuits, and standing ovations follow. Based on Mel Brooks’ 1967 cult film, The Producers is a fearless, full-throttle comedy that gleefully skewers the theatre world and everything in its path.
Following an audience-acclaimed run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, this revival transfers to the Garrick Theatre for a limited West End run. Directed by Patrick Marber, the production stars returning leads Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Trevor Ashley, Raj Ghatak, Harry Morrison, and Joanna Woodward. Mel Brooks’ iconic score, packed with showbiz sendups like “When You’ve Got It, Flaunt It” and “Keep It Gay,” is paired with a book co-written by Thomas Meehan (Hairspray) that pulls no punches.
Winner of a record-breaking twelve Tony Awards for its original Broadway run, this revival brings fresh energy to a show that celebrates failure—and turns it into spectacular success!
