The Producers at Delray Beach Playhouse

A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks’ laugh-out-loud spectacle.

Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. A misfortuned Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, scamming their investors, all elderly ladies, out of millions of dollars. Only one problem: the show is a smash hit! Follow Max and Leo as they fecklessly maneuver finding a show, hiring a director, raising the money and eventually going to prison for their misdeeds. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

“The producers is an absolute must-see!” – New York Theatre Guide

“The show is a rip-roaring, gut-busting, rib-tickling, knee-slapping, aisle-rolling… good time.” – Variety
