BREAKDOWN
With the worst play, worst director, and worst actors in New York, how could they go right? Mel Brooks’ The Producers opened on Broadway to historic, unanimous rave reviews, earning a record-breaking twelve Tony Awards. This laugh-out-loud musical is the story of scheming producer Max Bialystock and his mousy accountant Leo Bloom. They discover that under the right circumstances they could make more money producing a flop than a hit. But what will they do when their sure-to-offend musical becomes a surprise sensation? This side-splitting tour-de-force spoofs grand, old-fashioned Broadway musicals while paying tribute to them all at the same time.
SEEKING:
Max Bialystock (Male, 40s-50s). Max is an over-the-top, high-energy, Professor Harold Hill/Tevye-type. Once known as the King of Broadway, he’s become a producer of Broadway flops. He raises money for his shows by romancing wealthy little old ladies. Always has an answer, always has a plan. A quick-talker, but you don’t miss a word he says. Perhaps one of the best roles ever written for a comic lead. Moderate dancing required. Must be able to move and have good stamina. Bari-tenor. $700/week
Leopold Bloom (Male, 30s). A lovable nerd that can sing, dance and act. He is a meek, and at times wimpy, law-abiding and courteous accountant. He believes he should do everything by the book. Has always dreamed of being a Broadway producer. An absolute contrast to Max, character-wise and physically. He appears very neat and clean. Moderate to heavy dancing required. Tap and ballroom experiences preferred. Bari-tenor. $700/week
Ulla (Female, 20s-30s). A knock-out, sexy, tall blonde Swedish woman. She comes to audition for the show, Max & Leo hire her as a receptionist/secretary, though her limited English allows her to say little more than “Bialystock and Bloom.” Swedish accent required. Moderate to heavy dancing required. Splits and ballroom preferred. Second soprano. $525/week
Franz Liebkind (Male, 30s-40s) Franz is a German Nazi who now resides in New York and has written the play, “Springtime for Hitler” a tribute to his titular hero. This is the play that Max hopes to produce that will be a sure-fire flop. When we first meet Franz, he is seen wearing lederhosen, army boots and an army helmet while singing to his collection of singing carrier pigeons. He is a nut! Franz must be able to do a German accent that we can understand clearly. Light to moderate dancing, more character dancing than technical. Clear, understandable German accent required. Baritone. $525/week
