About the Show
It's 1959, and a new musical by Broadway producer Max Bialystock flops, closing after just one performance. Enter mousy accountant, Leo Bloom, who discovers that under the right circumstances a producer can actually make more money with a flop than with a hit. Max convinces Leo to enter a scheme to produce the worst flop ever, Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgarden, and bilk investors to the benefit of Max and Leo's bank accounts.

Based on the classic Mel Brooks' 1968 cult comedy film, The Producers was a huge hit on Broadway, winning a record 12 Tony Awards. The New York Times calls The Producers "fast, fierce, shameless, vulgar and altogether blissful."
