Mel Brooks' Hilarious Love Letter to Broadway
A Mel Brooks Musical
June 11 to June 29 | Main Stage
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks
Directed by Jennifer Childs
Original Direction and Choreography By Susan Stroman. By Special Arrangement with StudioCanal.
From the zany comedic genius of Mel Brooks comes The Producers, the musical that redefined Broadway comedy! Join Max Bialystock, a washed-up Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, his neurotic accountant, as they cook up the most outrageous get-rich-quick scheme in showbiz history: stage the worst musical ever, pocket the investors’ cash, and run. What could possibly go wrong? Everything—hilariously!
Adapted from Brooks’ 1967 film, this laugh-a-minute romp features larger-than-life characters, wickedly funny double entendres, and splashy show-stopping musical numbers. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, The Producers proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender,” skewering Broadway traditions with enough chutzpah to fill Times Square!
It’s Mel Brooks at his absolute best—bawdy, irreverent, and satirical—delivered with his signature style that’ll leave you howling in the aisles!
Running Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission
