The Producers at Byers Theatre at Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center

Arguably the funniest musical EVER on Broadway, and inarguably the winningest show in the history of the Tony Awards®, THE PRODUCERS has delighted audiences across the globe. Based on Brooks’ 1968 film of the same name, the plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the biggest flop in Broadway history, thereby bilking their investors (all of whom are “lonely, little old ladies”), and then running away to Rio. Co-written by Mel Brooks (the films Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs) and Thomas Meehan (the Tony-winning writer of Broadway’s Annie and Hairspray) and with music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor.
