FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Producers

A superb revival of this buoyantly vulgar Broadway musical

From: The Standard By: Nick Curtis Date: 2024-12-11

8 / 10

The incidental detail is wonderful: the Zimmer-frame chorus line of Bialystok’s conquests is balanced by a Fiddler-style onslaught of capering shtetl inhabitants earlier on. Some throwaway lines are built up into full-scale Vaudevillian “bits”. Paul Farnsworth’s costumes, including hotpants and giant spangled Bratwurst and Bier-stein headgear for the dancers, Swastika-clad pigeons and a living statue with outsized genitalia, are hilarious.

As sharp and taboo-busting as ever

From: The Independent By: Louis Chilton Date: 2024-12-11

8 / 10

It’s hard to resist incessant comparisons to the original, so closely does The Producers hew to it; all of the funniest lines are ripped verbatim from the 1967 screenplay. (“Hitler… there was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats!”) The variations are chiefly musical, the lively and bombastic songs dotted across the musical’s two acts, all written by Brooks himself – an artist who always has one foot in vaudevillian tradition.

Review: THE PRODUCERS, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Aliya Al-Hassan - December 11, 2024

Good things come to those who wait. Last seen in the West End way back in 2004, starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, Mel Brooks' satirical work of genius, The Producers, has finally goose-stepped its way to a glorious return to the London stage at the wonderful Menier Chocolate Factory.

Interview: 'The Hardest Thing Has Been Not Laughing at Everyone!': Actor Marc Antolin on Mel Brooks, Intimacy and Corpsing in THE PRODUCERS
by Kat Mokrynski - November 26, 2024

The award-winning musical The Producers is finally returning to London in its first revival since debuting on the West End in 2004. The show, based on the iconic 1967 film of the same name by Mel Brooks, tells the story of two producers who discover that a producer could make more from a Broadway flop than a hit, which leads them to put on what they think will be the worst show in history - Springtime for Hitler.
