Under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit. And so begins one of the most hilarious cons in musical theatre history. Max Bialystock used to be the king of Broadway, but after producing one too many flops, he’s now just a has-been forced into seducing little old ladies for money. After an off the cuff comment from his accountant Leo Bloom, dollar signs go off over his head (as well as “beautiful girls wearing nothing but pearls”). With the reluctant help from Bloom, Max goes in search of the worst musical ever. Will it be a flop? It better, or they might find themselves in prison.

The Producers is an uproariously funny musical with hilarious songs that will have you grinning from ear to ear throughout. Nobody does comedy like Mel Brooks, and nobody does shows like the Paramount. Don’t miss it.

DID YOU KNOW?
You may remember the movie with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, but did you know the original movie dated back to 1967 and starred Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder?
The challenge with this show is how to keep pace with the madness of this story, which is the true definition of a farce: “a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.”
This show is really big and will look spectacular. Moving from the office, to the street, to the stage, you’ll feel like you’re in the hustle and bustle of Broadway New York right on the Paramount stage.
