Description of the musical:
What happens when a down-on-his-luck producer and his nerdy accountant find out they owe big time taxes? They set out to create a huge write- off by producing the biggest flop Broadway has ever seen! But will it fail? They are taking no chances as they have found the perfect script: “Springtime for Hitler.”
You will never forget the names of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom — or the dancing grannies and grand musical numbers. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”
