Having never seen The Producers, but having heard so much about it, I was genuinely excited to see a performance of this show on a stage. The lasting impression that I took from The Production Company's version is that Mel Brooks is one very funny man who's writing stands alone in the musical comedy genre. Whether on the expanses of a full scale broadway stage, on the West End or on the minimalist stage confronting us at The Arts Centre, this show genuinely works and is so clever in its nuance and wit that you can't help but admire its creator.
The Production Company opens its 2012 Season on July 11 with the Mel Brooks comic masterpiece, The Producers. This brand new staging by Andrew Hallsworth and Dean Bryant will star seven of Australia's best comic talents in a company of fifty singers, dancers and musicians.

The world of ballet can be dangerous. Between pink pointe shoes, tutus and tulle lies the brutal truth that people would actually kill for a role... Based on SWAN LAKE, the year's biggest movie was dark, gripping and psychologically disturbing... but if you thought that was disturbing, just wait for... FAT SWAN: an adults-only Christmas Panto. It's everything the film was... only with songs, audience participation and men dressed up as women.
