The Grand Prairie Arts Council will present "The Producers," with music and lyrics by Mel Brooks and Glen Kelly, book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and direction by Mallory Roelke. The show runs June 21 - 30 at the Uptown Theater at 120 E Main St, Grand Prairie, TX 75050. Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased online.
"The Producers" follows fading Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Joshua Sherman), who is determined to reclaim his former glory. He partners with timid accountant Leo Bloom (Brent Burden), who discovers that a flop can be more profitable than a hit. Together, they aim to produce the worst musical in Broadway history, 'Springtime for Hitler.' Their plan? Raise two million dollars, produce the show, and, when it flops, take the money and flee to Rio. However, their plan backfires when the musical becomes an unexpected hit! Based on Mel Brooks' iconic 1968 film, "The Producers" is a riotous and unforgettable farce.
