Peterborough Players to Present Mel Brooks Musical THE PRODUCERS

Want to make it big on Broadway? Produce a stinker of a play! Or at least that is the scheme hatched by a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, and a peculiar accountant, Leo Bloom. Sounds easy, right... but what if the play turns out to be a hit?! Winner of a record 12 Tony Awards, Broadway comes to Peterborough with this gloriously entertaining, insanely funny musical.

The Producers features Tom Frey (The Ladies Man, God of Carnage) as Leo Bloom, Kraig Swartz (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Pygmalion) as Max Bialystock and introducing Elyse Collier as Ulla. Directed by Artistic Director Gus Kaikkonen. Choreographed By Bill Burns. Musical Direction by Michael Sebastian.

This is the largest musical the Players have ever produced and was made possible by the generous contributions of numerous friends of the Players.
