The Producers

The Colonial Theatre hosts the national touring production of Mel Brooks’ The Producers. Directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, the musical follows two Broadway producers as they execute a most unique plan: to sell 25,000 percent of a new show, have it fail miserably, and quietly collect the money after the show closes. To ensure their success, they hire the worst of the worst to mount Springtime for Hitler, a “gay romp with Adolph and Eva at Berchtesgaden.” The perfect scheme ends in disaster as Springtime for Hitler becomes the last thing anyone expected it to be: a hit! Richard Kind and Alan Ruck star in the roles of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom.

The performance on Wednesday, 2/23 at 7pm.
