<span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2129">Written by comedy master Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (who wrote the book for
<i>Annie</i>), <i>The Producers</i> is truly a "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards (including best musical) and wowing capacity crowds night after night on Broadway and on tour. Max Bialystock, the one-time king of Broadway producers, is hungry
to strike it rich, and Leo Bloom, an accountant with dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer, discover that it could be more lucrative to produce a Broadway flop instead of a huge hit. They begin by combining a truly atrocious script with horrendous
directors and talentless actors. However, when their new production, “Springtime for Hitler,” turns out to be a smashing success, the plan is thrown off and the partners’ lives are thrown into chaos.
<i>The Producers </i>will have audiences roaring at the ridiculous accents, caricatures of all kinds, and show business inside jokes. When combined with 16 witty songs and outrageous dance numbers, this is sure to be a night of memorable entertainment!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
