The Producers

Introduction and prices

The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

Mel Brooks’ Broadway hit musical The Producers, based on his
1968 film of the same name, receives an eagerly awaited UK transfer
to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane after taking Broadway by storm and
winning a record 12 Tony Awards in 2001.

Starring Broadway’s Fred Applegate, who reprises his role as Max
Bialystock, and John Gordon Sinclair of Gregory’s Girl fame, as Leo
Bloom, in his first musical since his Oliver award-winning
performance in ‘She Love’s Me’.

This musical comedy revolves around washed-up theatre producer
Max Bialystock who, along with his timid accountant Leo Bloom,
cooks up a scheme to make a fortune by presenting a sure-fire flop
called “Springtime for Hitler”.

Their plan is to take off with all their investors’ money- but
when the curtain goes up on their gigantic singing and dancing
spectacular, they realize their scheme has not gone entirely to
plan.
