Full casting for the production will be announced soon.

The Producers follows a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his accountant who scheme to make money by producing a surefire flop. Their plan backfires when their chosen production, a tasteless musical called Springtime for Hitler, unexpectedly becomes a hit. The original Broadway production won a staggering twelve Tony Awards based on the cult film of the same name.
The Producers will run at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 26 November until 1 March 2025.
