    "Fearlessly up to the challenge, Chagrin Valley Little Theatre,
    under the brilliant directing of J.E. Ballantyne Jr., has scored and
    scored big. With a marvelous cast and all the complex insanity
    necessary, the theater on River Street has produced the best
    all-around musical this writer has witnessed at CVLT in 35 years of
    reviewing."

    -- Herb Hammer, /Chagrin Valley Times/ 

    "The current production of "The Producers" by Mel Brooks and Thomas
    Meehan (with music and lyrics by Mel Brooks) at Chagrin Valley
    Little Theatre is proof that a show this cartoonish, and with such a
    large cast, can thrive in a small community theater space... The
    audience is treated to surprises, pretty girls and warm, touching
    moments... So many elements of the show are right, and in a show
    this complicated, that is no easy feat."

    -- Marjorie Preston, /Sun News/ 

CVLT presents Northeast Ohio's first production of Mel Brooks' /The 
Producers/ to feature an all-volunteer cast. This hilarious musical 
chronicles washed-up theater producer Max Bialystock and his 
mild-mannered accountant Leo Bloom, who hatch a plan to get rich quick 
by producing the most notorious flop in the history of Broadway! Along 
the way, they enlist the help of terrible director Roger De Bris, 
Nazi-sympathizing playwright Franz Liebkind, and Swedish bombshell Ulla 
Inga Hansen Benson Yansen Tallen Hallen Svaden Swanson.

Based on Mel Brooks' hit 1968 film of the same name, /The Producers/ won 
a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards in 2001, including Best Musical. It's 
chock-full of the broad, goofball humor that made Mel's films like 
/Blazing Saddles/, /Spaceballs/, and /Young Frankenstein/ comedy 
classics. The score contains such gems as "I Wanna Be A Producer," "When 
You Got It, Flaunt It," "Springtime for Hitler," and "Prisoners of Love."
