The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of THE
PRODUCERS will be staged at the Menier this winter by Tony Award-winning
director Patrick Marber and Broadway choreographer Lorin Latarro.
Starring Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Joanna Woodward and Harry Morrison,
this laugh-out-loud production opens on 9 December, with previews from 26
November, and runs until 1 March 2025.
Based on the classic cult film of the same name, the original Broadway
production won twelve Tony Awards, and skewers Broadway traditions, taking
no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Producers
Liberating taboo-busting fun for grown-ups
10 / 10
The little Menier has somehow shoehorned this spectacular into its limited playing space, tricked out here as a big Broadway venue with red velvet curtains, swirling follow-spots and posters outside. Max’s office is created inside it with just a door with his name on it, a giant safe that doubles as all manner of furniture and, of course, a casting couch. At the rear are handy jungle-gym bars the cast can hang from and even dance on.
Where did they go right?
8 / 10
Nyman eats up the stage, singing powerfully, eyes constantly flashing towards the next main chance, his comic timing – he clasps his heart every time someone mentions money – obvious but also impeccable. As the hapless Bloom, a man never far from a panic attack which sets him sliding across the floor like a human broom, Marc Antolin exudes delicate charm and an attractive fragility. His love affair with the Swedish Ulla (Joanna Woodward, very funny) is played straight; their dance to “That Face” is a tender moment in an uproarious night.

Good things come to those who wait. Last seen in the West End way back in 2004, starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, Mel Brooks' satirical work of genius, The Producers, has finally goose-stepped its way to a glorious return to the London stage at the wonderful Menier Chocolate Factory.

The award-winning musical The Producers is finally returning to London in its first revival since debuting on the West End in 2004. The show, based on the iconic 1967 film of the same name by Mel Brooks, tells the story of two producers who discover that a producer could make more from a Broadway flop than a hit, which leads them to put on what they think will be the worst show in history - Springtime for Hitler.
