The Kavinoky Theatre to Open 28th Season with THE PRODUCERS

The Kavinoky Theatre, a professional theatre on the campus of D'Youville College, opens its 38th season with its production of THE PRODUCERS by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan.

Directed and Choreographed by Lynne Kurdziel Formato, this hilarious show revolutionized Broadway Musical Comedy. Based on the Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, this Mel Brooks masterpiece has been hailed as one of, if not THE funniest Broadway Musicals of all time. This new Broadway classic is filled with a riotous mix of eccentric characters and show-stopping production numbers.
