  3. THE PRODUCERS


The Producers is a hilarious musical creation of Mel Brooks, a comedic mastermind. Brooks wears multiple hats for this production, acting as composer, lyricist, and co-writer of the book alongside Thomas Meehan. Adapted from Brooks' own 1968 film, The Producers premiered on Broadway in 2001 and ran for an impressive 2,502 performances.

The plot centers around Max Bialystock, a flamboyant and down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, who hatches a scheme with uptight accountant Leo Bloom. Their plan? To raise a fortune by intentionally producing the worst musical ever made, a surefire flop titled "Springtime for Hitler." However, their ridiculous plan backfires spectacularly when the outrageously offensive show becomes a smash hit, throwing Max, Leo, and the entire theater scene into hilarious chaos.

The Producers became a multi-award-winning phenomenon. It smashed records on Broadway, winning a staggering 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. This outrageous comedy continues to tickle audiences with its dark humor, catchy tunes, and unforgettable characters.
