The Producers
The Producers are Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, outrageous, hilarious, off the wall, and the winner of a record 12 Tony Awards, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit and you will find yourself holding your sides with laughter as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam that there ever was.

Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks. Book by Mel Brooks & Thomas Meehan.
