A major new revival of Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of The Producers – with music & lyrics by Brooks, and book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, will be staged at the Menier Chocolate Factory this Christmas by Tony Award-winning director Patrick Marber who returns to the venue.
Based on the classic cult film of the same name, the original Broadway production won twelve Tony Awards, which to this day makes it still the all-time record holder for the most Tony Award’s ever given to a musical. It skewers Broadway traditions, taking no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”
The laugh-out-loud production opens on 9 December, with previews from 26 November, and runs until 1 March 2025.
Joining the previously announced Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Harry Morrison and Joanna Woodward are Trevor Ashley and Raj Ghatak, with Jermaine Woods and Nolan Edwards joining Charis Alexandra, Michael Franks, Matt Gillett, Leah Harris, Hana Ichijo, Esme Kennedy, Josh Kiernan, Alex Lodge, Kelsie-Rae Marshall, and Chloe Saunders to complete the ensemble.
