What director Patrick Marber and choreographer Lorin Latarro did so well at the Menier was to put on a large scale production in a very small space. At the Garrick, they have the space (and budget) to really let their ideas shine. The tap routine in "I Wanna Be A Producer" is given the expanse it needs to be a real spectacle and "Keep It Gay" is an absolute riot of characters and colour.

Once again, I was hugely entertained by the well-endowed living statue, the latex-masked gimp and the sexy Jesus in De Bris’s apartment. There are brilliant touches I don’t remember from the Menier: the close relationship between Franz and one of his antisemitic pigeons, dancers emulating the Reichstag fire, a backdrop of swastikas picked out in pastel roses for the show-within-a-show’s titular anthem. In that number, as has become traditional, Mel Brooks’s recorded voice delivers the line: “Don’t be stoopid, be a smarty/Come and join the Nazi Party!”
THE PRODUCERS at London's Garrick Theatre will offer 100 tickets at £19.26 to mark Mel Brooks' upcoming 100th birthday, honoring his 1926 birth year, with Andy Nyman starring as Max Bialystock.

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!
