What did our critic think of EMMA at Theatre Royal Bath?

Adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks’ 1968 film of the same name, with lyrics by Brooks and music by Brooks and Glen Kelly. As in the film, the story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. What did the critics think of the show's transfer to the West End, after sell-out run at the Menier Chocolate factory?

It took over twenty years for a revival of Mel Brooks's The Producers to come to London and the diminutive Menier Chocolate Factory more than held its own for a sold-out and universally well-received show. Now it makes a triumphant move to the West End's Garrick Theatre and continues to prove that great comedy is simply timeless. 

After a sell-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory last year, The Producers returns to London, this time in the West End at the Garrick Theatre. Recently, we had the chance to talk with Joanna Woodward, who returns to The Producers in the role of Ulla, an actress from Sweden who dreams of being on Broadway. We discussed what it’s been like to return to the show and how this particular production has given Ulla more autonomy and authority than ever before.

As rehearsals begin for the West End run, full casting has been announced for the transfer of the Menier Chocolate Factory's production of The Producers. Learn more here!
