Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the biggest flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. What could possibly go wrong? The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a play (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and putting on a show is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
- Mel Brooks
- Thomas Meehan
