The Producers Tickets

Welcome to a major new revival of Mel Brooks’ madcap musical adaptation of The Producers, on stage at the Menier Chocolate factory for the festive season. The fun is directed by the Tony Award-winning Patrick Marber. Laugh-out-loud comedy with a dark heart awaits you.

The Producers - The Story

The plot concerns two theatrical producers who decide to make their fortune by fraudulently over-selling shares in a Broadway musical that has been carefully designed to fail. They hire the worst director they can find and do everything they can to sabotage their creation. But things get complicated when the show turns out to be a huge hit.

You’ll adore the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they con their way through the story. The world-famous show tune ‘Springtime for Hitler’ is just as scandalous as ever. Because the whole story is intended to offend, at the end of the day nobody is offended despite the taking-the-mickey accents, flagrant caricatures of Jews, poking fun at gay people and giggling at the Nazis.

About The Producers

After 33 previews, the original Broadway production opened in London in 2001 with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick at the helm. It ran for 2502 performances, was nominated for 15 Tonys and won a record-breaking 12, inspired a successful two year West End production, toured the UK and USA, and in 2005 the movie version starred most of the original Broadway cast, scoring another enormous hit.

This is one of the few musicals to win in every Tony category it was nominated for, receiving two nominations for leading actor and three for featured actor. And with the West End legend Patrick Marber directing this time around, it’s all set to be a top seller.
