The Producers

Mel Brooks' humor rocketed this show to legendary status, winning the most Tonys in
Broadway history!

Based on the Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, The Producers is the story
of down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a mousy accountant.
Together, they hatch the ultimate scam: Raise more money than you need for a sure-fire
Broadway fiasco...and pocket the difference. Their Broadway brainchild is none other than
Springtime for Hitler.

The Producers has become a Broadway phenomenon, turning the tradition of a Broadway
musical on its head and earning more Tony Awards than any other show in the history of
the Great White Way. With tunes and a book by superstar comedian Mel Brooks and co-bookwriter Thomas Meehan
(Hairspray), this big-time Broadway musical is truly one of the funniest shows around. The success
of the show has made way for a remake of the big-screen version due out in 2005 and featuring
original stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, as well as Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell.

Stop by The Producers to visit "Little Old Lady Land," hear Ulla belt and laugh so hard you won't know
what to do with yourself. "Everything you've heard is 100% true," says Clive Barnes of the New York
Post. The Producers is "a cast-iron, super-duper mammoth old-time Broadway hit!"
