The Producers: the New Mel Brooks Musical December 23, 2008

Winner of a record 12 Tony Awards including Best Musical, 'The Producers' is based on Mel Brooks' classic 1968 film comedy. Max Bialystock, a down-on-his-luck theatrical producer, teams with meek accountant Leo Bloom to fabricate the perfect scam in which they raise money to produce a play that is sure to bomb on Broadway. The product of their plot? A musical called 'Springtime for Hitler.'
